He believes that in order to do so, he&#8217;ll first have to defeat one of the division&#8217;s other top fighters \u2014 namely Dominick Reyes, Jan Blachowicz and Corey Anderson.<\/p>\n<p>By his estimation, he&#8217;s most likely to be matched up with Corey Anderson, and from the sounds of it, he has no problem with that.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, he relishes the chance to knock the wrestling specialist out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Anthony Smith: Luke Rockhold&#039;s Brutal KO Loss, Jon Jones Win Over Thiago Santos, What&#039;s Next!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FSmbbJWtnE8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"P2eBJu\">\u201cAs far as getting back to Jon and who I\u2019m gonna fight, I think there\u2019s me, Jan [Blachowicz], Corey Anderson, and\u00a0Dominick Reyes,\u201d Smith told Submission Radio (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/7\/12\/20690811\/anthony-smith-corey-anderson-no-one-wants-to-watch-you-f-cking-dry-hump-someones-leg-for-15-minutes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cOne of them is gonna fight Jon, so I would take myself out of that. It probably won\u2019t be me. So, when it comes down to Jan, Corey or Reyes, one of them is gonna fight Jon, one of them is gonna fight me when I come back, and the other one is gonna sit and either fight someone lower down or wait. So, I\u2019ll fight one of those three guys, likely Corey Anderson. Wouldn\u2019t mind knocking him out either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corey Anderson actually recently called out Anthony Smith. Smith isn&#8217;t sure why Anderson has beef with him, but is happy to settle it in the cage.<\/p>\n<p id=\"r3ZlXh\">\u201cHe\u2019s just mad. He\u2019s just always talking sh*t,\u201d Smith said. \u201cHe\u2019s like trying to take a page out of Luke Rockhold\u2019s book. I haven\u2019t done anything to Corey expect for clean up his f*cking mess.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Hs5xQP\">\u201cThey offered me a fight with Corey Anderson in Lincoln, Nebraska. He turned it down because he wasn\u2019t ready. Then not long after that, I took a fight with Shogun, who they offered to him first and he turned it down, so then I took it because he wouldn\u2019t. Then\u00a0Glover Teixeira\u00a0needed an opponent like a week later, and he takes that fight. So, he turns down me, he turns down Shogun, and then takes Glover because that\u2019s a fight that in his head he feels he can win. He won\u2019t take a fight with anybody that he\u2019s not 100 percent sure he can beat. So, he goes in against a guy who\u2019s known to be taken down and held there, and wins the fight and wants to talk sh*t like he\u2019s the best in the world.<\/p>\n<p id=\"onkIuQ\">\u201cAlright, fine. Whatever, not a big deal. Then I didn\u2019t hear anything from Corey. So, because we\u2019re in the god damn locker room and he\u2019s feeling really god damn stupid because he knows that I know all that stuff, so he won\u2019t even look at me. So, then they offer him the Gus fight after I fight Jon Jones, and he won\u2019t take it. So, then I take it, and he tries to go back and say, \u2018No, no, no, no, I\u2019ll take it now, I\u2019ll take it now\u2019. I was like, it\u2019s too late, I already signed it, you idiot. Here I am cleaning up your god damn mess again. Like, fine. So, from now on I hope they offer Corey Anderson the title shot, because it means I\u2019ll probably end up with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Smith concluded by taking a shot at Corey Anderson&#8217;s fighting style, which he doesn&#8217;t view as particularly fan-friendly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"hlyTwP\">\u201cAgain, it\u2019s another dude that I\u2019ve never done anything to,\u201d Smith said. \u201cLike, he\u2019s just mad because you\u2019ve been in the division for how many years, and haven\u2019t even sniffed a title shot, and then guys like me and Thiago and have three fights and get one. There\u2019s a reason. It\u2019s not because we sell anymore tickets than you, it\u2019s not because we\u2019re \u2018better than you\u2019. We just go out there and we put it on the line and we take fights when they\u2019re offered.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PMLKrp\">\u201cLike, I\u2019m not saying be a company guy and suck Dana\u2019s d*ck or anything, but be a god damn fighter. And if you have a style that\u2019s kind of dependent on winning decisions, then just count on winning a hell lot more of them, cause that\u2019s just how the game goes. No one wants to watch you f*cking dry hump someone\u2019s leg for 15 minutes, unless they\u2019re a big Jiu Jitsu fan. No one wants to see it. And I\u2019m a Jiu Jitsu guy at heart, so I just don\u2019t know what it is about me that rubs some of these guys the wrong way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say that there seems to be a growing beef between Anthony Smith and Corey Anderson, and given their respective stations in the light heavyweight division, this might just be the fight to make.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think wins?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 7\/12\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Smith is eager to work his way to a second title fight with light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
