Anthony Smith (31-13 MMA, 7-3 UFC) is currently on a tear in the Light-Heavyweight division in the UFC capturing 3 straight wins to climb at the top of the division and is now a legit contender for the title. His two wins came up against MMA legends Rashad Evans and Shogun Rua and the last one came up against former title challenger and heavy hitting prospect Volkan Oezdemir via submission.
The undefeated Dominick Reyes(10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) who had a splendid victory against Ovince St.Preux offlate is also in the mix as one of the top contenders in the division. Probably, that was enough for this two fighters to exchange strong barbs on Twitter.

Anthony Smith got heated up and lashed at Dominick reyes with the following set of tweets.
Hey
DUMB-anick
Lesson ONE:
Don't turn down fights w/Blachowicz & Manuwa then pretend you want to fight me.
Makes you look both afraid and thirsty. https://t.co/eOecDPZJwT— Anthony Smith (@lionheartasmith) December 4, 2018

Lesson TWO:
Your name ain't Jones or Gus, last I checked.— Anthony Smith (@lionheartasmith) December 4, 2018
Dominick had his last words in the barb calling ‘Lionheart’ Smith a cowardly lion.
@lionheartsmith Oh Anthony 😂…Your false bravado is not going to save you! I'm coming no matter what! You can try and talk your way out, and use insults to show your toughness. But, like the Cowardly lion you are Its all talk buddy. Now nutt up and sign on the dotted line. pic.twitter.com/OYYo5w8IrU

Anthony Smith is currently ranked number 3 in the division while Reyes is ranked number 8.Anthony meanwhile is waiting as a top contender who will probably be challenging the winner of Jones vs Gustafsson for a title but a future matchup between this two would be great to see considering the social media feud they have developed recently.
