Jon Jones will put his newly acquired light heavyweight title on the line in the main event of UFC 235 against surging division contender Anthony Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC 235 takes place March 2 live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon Jones reclaimed the UFC’s 205-pound throne by defeating Alexander Gustafsson via third-round knockout at UFC 232<\/a> this past December in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, since moving up to the UFC’s light heavyweight ranks Anthony Smith has gone a perfect 3-0. During that time, “Lionheart” has scored stoppage victories over Rashad Evans<\/a>, Mauricio “Shogun<\/a>” Rua and Volkan Oezdemir<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the co-main event of March’s UFC 235 pay-per-view event, reigning UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley<\/a> will put his title on the line against surging division contender Kamaru Usman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woodley was most recently seen in action at September’s UFC 228 event, where he defeated Darren Till via second-round submission<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, since joining the UFC ranks in July of 2015, Kamaru Usman has gone a perfect 9-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his most recent effort this past November, “The Nigerian Nightmare” scored a lopsided unanimous decision victory over former lightweight title holder Rafael dos Anjos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If those two title fights were not enough to get you interested, UFC 235 also features the debut of former Bellator and ONE champion Ben Askren<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Askren will be taking on former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler on the evening’s main card which airs exclusively on pay-per-view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
