    I like Anthony, especially as an analyst. I think he's generally thoughtful and well-spoken. But he also sh*ts on "the fans" quite a bit, which is ridiculous. If you have a problem with certain fans, or certain things that certain fans say, then address it. But lumping all the fans into the same bucket is asinine (and not a good career move). He could easily just say "some fans" and be fine, but he chooses to insult the entire group of people who pay for his very comfortable life.
    Also, as a "fan" myself with a doctorate degree, it's pretty funny hearing someone like Anthony say we're "stupid."

    It’s wild that no one calls out fighters for using the “mental health excuse” I will admit it’s a valid excuse… just like a staph infection

    This dude has been making “mental adjustments” his whole career. I might be stupid 🚌 but at least I’m emotionally stable.

    First round ending for Kitty Cat Heart. So insulting to a 20 year UFC fan. Ant Smith has lost his fighter heart and he has become a philosopher. We don't care either to pay for your fights!! He is so soft from a fans perspective. The problem for me is that Anthony Smith used to be a BEAST!

    I bet a part of Anthony wishes everyday he pulled the Aljo against Jon, just knowing how things played out after that 😅

    “The fans are stupid. They are!!” Really showed us😂. Lionheart is an ironic nickname for a fighter that ends up in the doggy position every fight.💀Your dream scenarios you put yourself in with your on paper mentality that is what pissed off the fans.
