Anthony Smith Not Pleased with ‘Douchebag’ Jon Jones’ Response to Home Invasion

All things considered, Anthony Smith handled himself well during a scary home invasion incident earlier this month.

The UFC light heavyweight woke up at approximately 4 a.m. local time to find a man in his Nebraska home. Smith was able to subdue the man until law enforcement arrived, but he was taken aback by the amount of fight the intruder had in him.

"No normal human is able to fight like that," Smith said. "I'm by no means the baddest dude on the planet. But he's a regular Joe and I had a hard time dealing with him. And he took everything that I gave him -- every punch, every knee, every elbow. He took every single one of them and kept fighting me.”

Former foe Jon Jones recently reacted to the incident on Twitter, saying he was glad that Smith emerged from the incident safe and sound, but it was the second part of the message that irked the man known as “Lionheart.”

Glad Anthony is OK, no way dude would have left my house walking https://t.co/U6wSr8KmA8

“What a perfect moment to flex, Jon, in the middle of a disaster like that in my home,” Smith said on Sirius XM’s “MMA Tonight” show. “What a perfect opportunity to flex at how g—damn cool you are. Just when you thought ‘that’s pretty admirable of Jon Jones to reach out and well-wish me,’ and then as you continue reading you’re like ‘oh that’s right, I forgot you’re still a f—ing douchebag.’ It’s just his opportunity to insert himself and make sure everybody knows how cool and bad ass he is.

“Just for a second I thought you were human and you had a soul and then I realized yo, you’re still the same piece of s—t you’ve always been. You know, whatever. You’re just flexing. You’re such a douchebag. What are you doing?”

The man, later identified as Luke Haberman, was charged with first-degree criminal trespassing. The fact that Haberman didn’t steal anything made it even more frightening, Smith said, because it made it seem as though his intentions were to hurt someone in the home he entered. Haberman was caught on video attempting to enter another residence. Smith, meanwhile, admitted to leaving his garage door open that evening. Still, he believes it’s out of line for someone to speculate on what they might have done in the same situation.

“First of all, I had a worst-case scenario,” Smith said. “We get it Jon, you’re all over Twitter and Instagram with all your guns and your cool dog, but I got caught. I got caught slipping, worst-case scenario. Guns weren’t close — not typical. Door was open — not typical. I don’t get what he’s getting at. It’s real easy to sit there, I’ve been that guy that said, ’If that guy came to my house I would have just beat the s—t out of him, I would have done this and that, I would have shot him.’

“It’s really easy to say that until you’re caught in it and you’ve been awake for eight seconds and you’re in the middle of a g—damn pandemonium throw down in the middle of your living room with no pants on. Nobody’s ready for that s—t. It’s real easy to flex on Twitter.”
