Smith could be champion by now if he said he's unfit to fight, winning by DQ. He's a fool for continuing to fight. I most definitely agree with you there. I’d have taken the easy way out, but I’m not an honourable man.

I really like that the commentary is thanking Smith for not following the rules and win the title by DQ. Would damage the prestige of the belt wouldn't it? "Your winner by way of taking an illegal blow in the midst of a gruesome ass kicking, and NEW UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Anthony Smith!"

They should have saved that illegal knee spot for the next fight with DC.
DC oversells in as cartoonish a manner as possible, wins the title on a DQ. Retires happily.

Smith is a tough mofo. Jones didn’t really look great though, if he was against an elite fighter he would have had some troubles.

I think this is the first time I'm happy to see Jones win, as Smith never really did anything for me.

Yeah, that would have killed Smith’s career dead if he took the title by DQ. Kudos to him for taking it like a man.

Bobby Heenan would still be railing about how big of an idiot ham n' egger Smith is for costing himself an easy world championship.

The Matt Hamill title. In fairness that was Mazzagatti, not Hamill. Hamill even questioned why it was a DQ and not a No Contest.

I’d have taken the easy way out, but I’m not an honourable man. Jones' shenanigans outside the cage and the UFC's lack of action to hold him accountable for his misdeeds don't deserve an honorable response. It'd be a fitting way to dethrone Jones, letting his mistakes take away what he valued the most.

Maybe it wouldn't work with a guy like Smith, but if this had happened with someone with a more heelish personality like Sonnen (who looks like a fool with his prediction now), it could have been an amazing set-up for a big money rematch.

Honestly I can't but feel that Jones got bored after the first round and just trolled everyone who was watching.

He wasn’t even breathing heavily during the post fight. When he called Smith a Terminator in the post-fight, I feel like James Cameron has grounds for a lawsuit.

"Your winner by way of taking an illegal blow in the midst of a gruesome ass kicking, and NEW UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Anthony Smith!" Current champ tested positive AGAIN just a couple of days ago, so the prestige is pretty shaky as is.

Well, the main event sucked but I enjoyed the rest of the card. Garbrandt is an idiot, Zhang looked good, I’m intrigued to see more from Askren (who ate a motherf***in’ DVD), Hate Woodley so quite pleased to see him get dominated, and Jon Jones is still a piece of shit
