Anthony is being a dissimulate beach. He talks all that shi about Alex and his ground being 'terrible' at all opportunities and then when Alex challenges him because Smith said he would choke him out he is like "OH I DIDN'T CHALLENGE HIM" "OH ITS EVERYTHING FROM HIM" "I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM" These people who want cocc and don't know how to ask is infuriating
And STILL undefeated...... Vitor........ uh, Lionheart Smith!! 😂😂 lol Bruce is the man and almost never makes mistakes, but that one was hilarious!! Glad Ant is a good sport about it ✌️
Im down 4 the Alex V Anthony Halo match.
Anthony on paper would flatline Poatan, then he’d send Jiri to 185 when Jiri gets beat everywhere by Smith and realizes theres levels to this 205 game. He’d also take Aspinalls belt in a tune-up at HW while Jon Jones finds every excuse in the book to avoid him.
The only chance he MIGHT have is in a grappling match, Alex beats Anthony literally everywhere else.

People like Buckley think it's Arial's job to look after the competitive element of the sport - it's not - he's an interviewer. His job is ask pertanent questions, let them answer. Chito got a title shot, Erceg got a title shot - so the precedant is set that people jump the line so from Smith's point of view why not him? He has a name and a beef with the champ. Why exactly would Arial not ask the question?

Smith is 1-3 last 4 and there’s no chance UFC is going to give him a title shot over Jiri, Ankalea, Jan, etc. By the time that would even be possible, Anthony will have lost 2-3 more fights. Nobody else is going to stick their neck into Anthony’s gilly☝️🤔

Did Alex actually recently say something or is Anthony still talking about the AI 50k grappling thing?
You really don’t want to have to kickbox or box with Alex. You will say you do to save face but you don’t want those problems. You also talked about Alex like you’d tap him with no sweat and that he’s some kind of subpar fighter. All these people talking about “Alex isn’t an MMA fighter he’s a kick-boxer” is something Izzy didn’t get. So what is it about Alex that he gets that?
@user-ph2cl7fi8l
10 күн бұрын
Izzy has really good take down defense, plus he fought wrestlers. Alex gets taken down easy, but one positve is that he's very good defensively once he's down there. If Alex had good tdd and/or wins against a decent wrestler, these criticisms will go away.

Poatan has to leave Smith talking alone. Simply, no longer mention the American's name in interviews, videos on social media, etc. The Brazilian has to focus on his real opponents in the 205-pound category, perhaps the heavyweights. Every time Poatan mentions Smith, the American gains about 15 minutes of additional fame.
Anthony smith is the most dangerous lhw in the division he’s the boogeyman yall just wait and see.

I saw how surprised he was that he get the choke done. So much so that he was not even celebrating at first and he fast realized that he can play it like he is not surprised at all. That he knew exactly it will happen because he knew that he is on completely different level right.. Smart move from Anthony, but we fans are smart as well and we can see it haha..

Kind of a sneaky interviewer. Not directly asking about Anthony’s biggest Achilles heels. Which is the home invasion and how fans hate him. So you moved? Didn’t you live in the last house for two years. How come your not on Twitter anymore? However he still didn’t manger to get Anthony to open up.
What a relatable guy. Hearing you talking about your struggles really helped me with my own
Does Smith have severe cte and just cant remember anything? Or is he trying to gaslight everyone. Smith said he'd choke Alex out, Alex was responding to what Smith said, now Smith is out here saying that Alex started this. What a liar.

Someone tell Anthony that he got relevant by beating up two very good and very past their time old fighters with name value (Rashad and Shogun). He is a journeyman that the company likes so they give him oportunities. Every time they put him against someone that is good and not old, he takes a beating ('cause he is "lionheart").

It makes that moment so much cooler the fact that Bruce messed Anthony's name up! Bruce hardly ever makes mistakes so people will remember that one 😂
Very bias to Periera and sucking up to Hill in his interviews
Anthony smith is legend but he thinks he can takedown Poatan? Poatan has high percentages of takedown defense. And he’s got a black belt 😂 after beating with striking. 😂
Still woupdnt accept the fact he was washed even before the Jones fight
Love Anthony, the dude has shown great potential and he’s a great human being, but in all honesty, I believe Anthony is a better person than he is a fighter. Based on his past fights, he still has more to prove if it’s really in him, and he can’t just turn up when he wants to. It’s the UFC, he needs to turn up every time, or not at all.
