UFC President Dana White expects light heavyweight champion Jon Jones to defend his title against Anthony Smith on March 2 in the main event of UFC 235, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, there is one thing that could scupper that planned matchup, – Jones is not currently licensed to fight in the state of Nevada. The UFC made the call to move the full event to California, where Jones was eligible to compete. After that fight, White expressed his confidence that the NSAC will approve Jones for a license to fight in that state. “I don’t know what to expect, but I would be blown away if they didn’t give him a license to fight in Nevada.
