If Anthony Smith had hoped to make Jon Jones feel bad for “flexing” over the violent home intrusion he went through, things didn’t go to plan.

“Lionheart” had blasted “douchebag” Jones earlier this week for appearing to make light of the ordeal. Smith had to violently struggle with a man who broke into his house at 4am on April 5 for five minutes until police arrived.

UFC light heavyweight champion Jones tweeted there was “no way the dude would’ve left my house walking” which prompted an angry outburst from Smith on SiriusXM Fight Nation.

Jones, who eased to a unanimous decision win over Smith at UFC 235 in March 2019, didn’t seem to care, though.

Jon Jones celebrates after his win against Anthony Smith at UFC 235.

“Anthony if you’re going to leave your garage door open all night, hurry up and buy the family a gun, some mace or something,” Jones tweeted.
