Jacob Smith happy to fight for world titles or a Happy Meal: “I get up in the morning because I’m a fighter”
ONE Championship flyweight striking sensation Jacob Smith of the United Kingdom does not see himself doing anything else in life other than fighting and competing.
In fact, the 32-year-old Bad Company / Thaifist representative said he is content in the ring, whether he is fighting for a world title or a McDonald's Happy Meal.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Smith said fighting is what motivates him to live every single day.
The fierce Englishman said:
"Whether I’m fighting for a McDonald’s Happy Meal or whether I’m fighting for the ONE Championship world title is irrelevant. I get up in the morning because I’m a fighter and because I want to win every fight I’m in."
Smith will need every bit of strength to win his next fight, as it comes against a former tormentor.

Jacob Smith relaxed and at ease heading into Rodtang Jitmuangnon rematch: "There's zero pressure on me"
32-year-old Jacob Smith understands he's headed into a highly anticipated rematch with 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon at ONE 169 on Prime Video as a massive underdog.
But the United Kingdom man says that hardly matters because he isn't at all stressed about what people think of him.
Smith told Combat Sports Today:
"Obviously, outside of my team, there's zero pressure on me, but I haven't said that from me, my team, and my family, There's a lot of pressure on me because I put a lot of pressure on myself, because I hold very high expectations of myself."
