Jon Jones has valuable advice for Anthony Smith to deal with his current situation. Last Monday (27), the 'Lionheart' was arrested in Nebraska (USA), accused of three serious crimes that could result in up to 26 years in prison. Faced with the delicate scenario, 'Bones', who also has a long history of problems with the law, decided to speak out in support of his former rival.
In a post on 'X', Jon Jones indicated that Smith should seek support in faith to overcome this difficult time. According to the fighter, no problem is too big for Jesus and any situation can be transformed through prayer.

Anthony Smith 's freedom , it seems, will come at a high price. According to information from 'TMZ Sports', the former UFC fighter may be released from prison soon after a judge set his bail at US$500 (approximately R$2,7 million).
If he raises the money, 'Lion Heart' could await trial in freedom, albeit under strict conditions: he is prohibited from having any contact with his wife, Mikhala Smith, cannot leave the state without judicial authorization, and must avoid any further involvement in trouble.
A former light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) title challenger and current commentator, the American faces charges of terrorist threats, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, and domestic violence resulting in serious bodily harm.
