Following Jone’s impressive stoppage win over Alexander Gustafsson, the light-heavyweight champ appeared on the FOX post-fight broadcast, which also featured the top contender, Smith. As you can see by watching the clip below, at first the two were pretty amicable towards each other. But, eventually, things took a bit of a turn.
