Jon Jones is still the UFC light heavyweight champion.

Jones defended his title with a methodical but one-sided victory over Anthony Smith on Saturday night, outclassing Smith en route to a unanimous decision win in the main event of UFC 235. The performance capped off a roller-coaster night that also saw Kamaru Usman dominate Tyron Woodley to capture the UFC welterweight strap in the night’s co-headlining bout.

Check out reaction to those two fights below, plus the best of the rest from a wild and occasionally bizarre UFC 235 card.

JON JONES DEF. ANTHONY SMITH

GOAT!!! Huge congrats @JonnyBones What a masterclass that was #ufc235 — Alistair Overeem (@Alistairovereem) March 3, 2019

No argument. Best Cheater Ever. #ufc235 — Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) March 3, 2019

Man I thought we were about to see a hamill moment #ufc235 — Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) March 3, 2019

Damm Jon Jones is good #UF235 — Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) March 3, 2019

And this is why I said the LHWT and HWT division are the weakest, in regards to talent and skill-set. Compare it to the TOP 15 to the men’s 135, 145, 155, 170, and 185 lb division. Tell me I’m fucking lying.#UFC235 — Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

@lionheartasmith corner is too much Disney movie and not enough actual coaching imo #UFC235 — Katlyn Chookagian (@blondefighter) March 3, 2019

@JonnyBones just making that look easy sad for @lionheartasmith just couldn’t get into it — Anton Zafir (@AntonZafirUFC) March 3, 2019

Anthony Smith could have potentially won a belt on that foul and didn’t . Respect #ufc235 — Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) March 3, 2019

Awesome seeing @JonnyBones holding the @MonsterEnergy drink with the new @ufc legacy belt as the holster! Congrats champ — @CrisCyborg on IG #CyborgNation (@criscyborg) March 3, 2019

Ok well I was wrong jones is just too good, Smith still in it but Jones too much — Ross Pearson (@RossTheRealDeal) March 3, 2019

Congrats @USMAN84kg , competing against you was a great experience that made me learn a lot about myself, and grow as a martial artist, as a competitor and as a person. I honestly believed you would be Champion one day, and here you are! it’s much well deserved, congratulations! — Demian Maia (@demianmaia) March 3, 2019

Colby is fucked. Next welterweight title fight is Usman vs Askren. Enough said. #ufc235 — Michael Chiesa (@MikeMav22) March 3, 2019

Damnt ! Kamaru just got my teary eyed with that speech about his daughter — Chris Weidman (@chrisweidman) March 3, 2019

@USMAN84kg gets a ton of hate on line but IMO the guy is likeable as hell and a hell of a fighter. Congrats on a dominant win! — Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) March 3, 2019

Congrats @USMAN84kg on your title and @TWooodley for being on the throne for so many days. Great fight! #UFC235 — Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) March 3, 2019

What a dominant performance, over a dominant champion. Congratulations to Kamaru Usman! Nigeria must be lit up right now! #UFC235 — Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

Can anyone do anything good anymore without some goober having to label it or them “the best of all time?” It’s as if “time” re-starts itself every 8-10 years for convenience of hyperbole... — Ryan Hall (@ryanhall5050) March 3, 2019

BEN ASKREN DEF. ROBBIE LAWLER

BULLSHIIIIIIIT!! — Bec Rawlings (@RowdyBec) March 3, 2019

What a zombie mode attack from Askren crazy #UFC235 — Nordine Taleb (@TNT83MMA) March 3, 2019

Give a thumbs up rather than a limp arm!! #ufc235 — Alex Volkanovski (@alexvolkanovski) March 3, 2019

Rematch!!! — Jarred Brooks (@The_monkeygod) March 3, 2019

What a shitty way to end a debut fight. Damn! #UFC235 #Funky — Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

COME ON HERB DEAN ‍♂️ ‍♂️ ‍♂️ — GILBERT BURNS DURINHO (@GilbertDurinho) March 3, 2019

Herb Nooooooo!!!! — Sam Alvey (@smilensam) March 3, 2019

Ref made a big mistake #UFC235 — Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) March 3, 2019

Good job Herb. Way to fuck up another one. #terrible #UFC235 — Mike Pierce (@MikePierce170) March 3, 2019

Congrats @Benaskren gangster shit! — Erik Jon Koch (@NEWBREED04) March 3, 2019

Y’all see how Robbie handled that? Take notes young bucks. Class. #UFC235 — Matt Schnell (@DANGER_Caged) March 3, 2019

Should be an immediate no contest in those situations. Run it back, please. @Benaskren @Ruthless_RL @ufc — Lando Vannata (@GroovyLando) March 3, 2019

Robbie handled that really well. I think he dropped his arm because he didn't want to waste the energy there pulling Askrens head. — Will Brooks (@ILLxWillBrooks) March 3, 2019

Can Lawler and askren just fight again? #ufc235 — Dan Ige (@Dynamitedan808) March 3, 2019

Wow funky get it done. Controversial or not he won — Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) March 3, 2019

Why do you lift an arm and not let it drop!?! He lifted it and it went up and he stopped it!!!! — Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) March 3, 2019

That stoppage genuinely put a damper on what has been a great night of fights. If he was out he’s body would’ve went limp not just his arm. He still only had one knee down.



Mind blownnn Lawler a class act but #ufc235 — Damien Brown (@beatdown155) March 3, 2019

WEILI ZHANG DEF. TECIA TORRES

Cody wanted an “easy” fight. Texting me about “easy money” and I told him to focus on Pedro bc he is a TUF mother funker! I’m so pumped right now! Not bc Cody lost, but bc of the division! It’s exciting AF right now! #UFC235 #ImREADY!! — Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) March 3, 2019

Congratulations @PedroMunhozmma super pumped for you! There's not a more deserving fighter! Always rooting for ya!! — Bryan Caraway (@BryanCaraway) March 3, 2019

People will never understand how easy it is to make one mistake in there. Human nature kicks in and you just start to fight fight and not smart fight. #UFC235 — Will Brooks (@ILLxWillBrooks) March 3, 2019

That calf kick was taking it's toll that's why Cody went for broke. That tool is like nothing we've seen in this sport. Trust me unfortunately I know — James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) March 3, 2019

Wow!! Cody got careless and had no control but it was a crazy last minute of that fight! — Alex Volkanovski (@alexvolkanovski) March 3, 2019

You either leave with your shield, or on it. Mad respect @Cody_Nolove still a fan #UFC235 — Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) March 3, 2019

Damn @Cody_Nolove just threw every emotion into those hands. Damn why he decided to stand and trade don’t know but very crazy and exciting 15secs — Anton Zafir (@AntonZafirUFC) March 3, 2019

Wow!! Not really sure what cody was thinking there! Rock’em sock’em robots there! #ufc235 — Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) March 3, 2019

So fucking hyped for Pedro! #ufc235 — éS (@EricSpicely) March 3, 2019

Fudgeeeee cmon Cody your so much better than that — Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) March 3, 2019

I want to fight @PedroMunhozmma next. Who want to watch it? — Petr “No Mercy” Yan (@PetrYanUFC) March 3, 2019

Nothing suck more than knowing your capabilities but patience wasn’t the option . I still believe bro , let them doubt you . You’ll be back champ ! @Cody_Nolove #UFC235 — Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) March 3, 2019
