Wild how many band wagon fans there are in the UFC. Smith fights the best of the best, fights up and comers, steps in on short notice, and always has entertaining fights. The man literally kept fighting even when his teeth were knocked out because he is gritty and doesn't quit. Went a full 5th round after eating a grounded knee from Jon Jones rather than taking the easy win. I mean, in a weeks time he said "sure ill step in to help save a card" not once, but twice against two different opponents. We fans are lucky to have fighters like lionheart, but yet people still want to root for a clown like Connor that hasnt won a fight in 4 years and wastes fans money for a bruised toe...makes no sense

the hate he gets from the fans is a bit much, i dont understand it myself but a lot of fans are right with the 'on paper' stuff but he is just making points, he is never wrong when he says the 'on paper' thing but the fans have took that saying and turned it around on him, its mad. I hope he wins
Smith by defending his family
The love for lionheart needs to return - all the putting him down has been nothing short of pathetic. Really hopes he gets the W on Sunday.

100%. The desire for fans to hate has gotten insane. Even for new fighters. The way people joke about Rosas Jr honestly kinda disgusts me. I don't like saying stuff like this, but given his age and everything, it's really hard to not think that part of it comes simply from the fact that he's so successful and living his dreams at such a young age, and 99% of them aren't and never will When he fought Jones, I was really hoping he'd be the one to get it done. Now I'm hoping Stipe will be, and unlike with Smith, I think Stipe has a very legitimate chance of doing so. He's never gotten the respect he deserves and people are at an all time low when it comes to him. Zero class

@@LarryMayvid MMA is just more accessible now, the sport is as big as its ever been. And with that, the bad fans will also grow. And bad fans are more likely to comment on fighters, majority of good fans just watch and dont interact with the fighters, they are older too so on social media less
I know he makes a few comments that overstate his ranking, but Smith is an OG who’s been in the game for a long time and will fight anyone. No idea why gets the hate he gets.

Smith should beat a low level opponent like Dolidze. I hope that gives him a title shot while Bumkalaev hides out in Abu Dhabi. That way we can see Poatan knock the delusional spirit out of Smith.
Smith is a solid guy, people who hate on him are sad.
anthony smith title run
Legend. Gentleman Real Man G'day Mate
Idc about other sports but fighting you have to be clean. He's right everyone should rely on there training and inner dog to win fights. Short notice is being a fighter! Love Anthony.
There's something about his calm nature here. Like they say, stay ready so that you don't have to get ready.. and he was ready. Smith ftw Saturday- by decision.
People act like fighting a guy from the division below gives the heavier fighter an advantage, the skill gap between middleweight and light heavyweight outside of the top 5 is real man
Lionheart fights for his family & his craft and gives it all. Pure respect
Wait, what? I was watching believe you me I feel like last month and Anthony said he was going to be smart take a break because he wants to make one more run for the championship. He’s coming off W. No more short notice fights. 😂 I guess that plan went out the window.
The cool thing is if he gets his 2nd shot at the title if someone gets injured...that's what happened to his UK co-host Michael. I'd be happy for him win or lose💯
I think he meant the 85 Chicago bears lol

I don't think you get the point here,he said "not THAT good "which doesn't mean he is not good as a fighter at least not if you explain what you mean by "That" .he explained he meant Jones is not that good in terms of that he is an unbeatable God who is the best in every dicipline and in all what he is doing. To say he is not the best in every dicipline and to say he is a good mma fighter isn't just stupid because the way he said it wasn't contradictive because it was first all about his individuell skillset and then he praised his overall mma skillset.
Best of luck!!!

On paper he’s better everywhere.
On paper 99 out of 100 times he wins this easily. There is levels to this. Also I only lost because I took the fight on short notice.
On paper if you look at the top 15 and cross everyone's name besides Smith's hes the best
How about he fights Khalil Rountree again !!!!!
Don’t listen to the haters bro! Casuals don’t know
Leaf in the wind could knockout Anthony Smith.What we talking about.Dolidze have good hands, great grappling and good leg checks.He gonna smoke Anthony "Glass Chin" Smith.If they will swing Anthony Smith will go for this and gonna be cooked like lobster
Clicked on this thinking it was Dana.
If he ever fights Alex he better dive for the crouch or legs . Because he will get the shovel hook to the temple and end his already over career
I love making fun of the dim witted shark just as much as anyone else, but smith is gunna put on a great performance Saturday

On paper Ant is a 3 division champ in UFC PFL WWE…
Everyone knows about Aldo being a 10 yr champ he was smoking fools unfortunately Connor beat him mentally that was a big part of it
Honestly I like smith, he’s up there with the most delusional fighters with the worst possible takes, but he’s a nice person. Unrelated but he should’ve aljo’d jones and taken his belt by DQ, if anyone deserved that it’s jones
thought that was dana white in the thumbnail.
Why should a fan of the sport do "research" of decades old stuff? The sport moves on. I enjoy what is happening now and what has happened within the timespan I've been following the sport of MMA. I do not feel any need to become the know-it-all "Ackchyually" -type of person of information. Very little incentive to know who fought who in UFC
Anthony “nothing else matters” Smith
why does anthony smith look like the goul from fallout
No one would take this fight on paper. Anthony Smith only took it because roman dolidze was attacking his family
Smith has fought everyone, any time any place. Yes he usually loses but you cannot ever question his heart, could’ve got a dq belt and chose not to. Literally handed the referee his teeth mid fight after they’d been knocked out. Ik he’s delusional but he deserves his flowers
