“Maybe Ryan Spann again?” is hilarious
Facts 😅
Savage.😅
Idk why ppl dislike him, It has to be because hes not a fake mf hes a real dude. Glad he got the win, crazy he has 57 fights. Insane
The haters are STILL crying and calling for him to retire !!! 🤣🤣🤣 First Petrino was gonna steamroll him, but now those same people are trying to say Petrino sucks...... lol I love they have to eat their words! LFG LIONHEART ✌️
People hate on him because he has had some really delusional takes sometimes
@@InspectorButters4 Lil bro got his knee pads out n ready to lick every drop
Because he has the personality of a lawn chair
Because he says the most delusional things. It’s pretty simple buddy
To be honest he looks like he's in a pre fight presser..No damage whatsoever..He didn't take a punch.😮
With only a 50 % win rate out of last ten fights the Opponent foolishly thought A S was gonna be a jog in the park . Now smarting with his first defeat , poor tactics .
Facts bro
No one no one! Saw that coming I like him a lot but I lost money on him winning lol
The favourite won every fight before that, an underdog was due 🧠@@youtubeconnollyfamily
Well the fight didn't last long
On paper, he ko’s Poatan at 205, sends Jiri to 185, then goes up after Jon Jones at HW. Retires after giving Jones his first real loss.
bro😂 idk ab that
If Anthony grabs Pereira and takes him down, fight is over.
Say you're a lemming without saying you're a lemming.
Its a joke if u ever seen him in interviews or podcast. He always says that on paper @cineris2389
Then he wakes up, stuck to his bedsheets.
Very happy for Anthony Smith, gets a lot of hate but he seems like a good guy
He’s not.
@@davidwilliamson8502thanks for enlightening us david
@@davidwilliamson8502 he's a hateable guy, but he's not a bad dude. give me one piece of evidence of him being a genuinely bad guy, like Jon Jones blatantly is for example
@@davidwilliamson8502 how much money did you lose on petrino
He is a good guy. Look at him not taking the title from Jones, not many would say fk the illegal knee to the head while getting beat up and continue fighting, respect Lionheart, delusions aside hes fun af 😂
Nothing better than seeing a happy Anthony smith fresh off of silencing his haters 🔥🔥 Such a Legend of the game, his resume of fighters is insane
If the mma fan base had 20% of smiths honesty it would be a much more enjoyable sport to be apart of 🔥 he's the fookin man!
🎯🍿
He ain't bad.
@rootiyriddle636 cry harder 😊
@@paulkendrick4153you look like you'd be impossible to lose to in a fight
I am glad he has had a win he seems to be a nice guy.
And he protects his family
I am rooting for him if he fights Alex Perriera.
"brother who gave him this black belt we gotto check that moment"- Anthony Smith
Anthony Nurmagomedov
Hell yeah being a legit Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is a huge achievement in life
I told all my friends this week Anthony Smith was getting this W. No one believed him. I did. Congrats!
Pfffft, ahahaha. L
I’d hate to be one of those guys but petrino isn’t that good,looked very normal against pedro who looked like crap and who’s heart clearly wasn’t in it that night.this one a win all day for Anthony
@@stephenlambert9826 I felt the same way, that's why I bet on Smith as soon as I saw the odds, he looked like ass against Pedro
Petrino lost, Smith didn’t win anything lol
You should’ve bet your whole life savings for that if you were that confident. If you didn’t, then you’re either dum for not betting your house OR you’re just saying this now that he just won. Checkmate
You can see how visibly happy and relieved he is to get this win. Like him or not, he’s good for the sport.
He is to salty for mma.
lol petrino wtf -2 fight IQ
The fact that you didn't see the reason he shot was because his leg was compromised shows your level
@@jackreacher2095 Exactly great eyes to see that people didn't see that, and only 2 leg kicks
The shooting wasn't the -2 fight IQ part. We know he shot because his legs were getting so eaten up. We want to know why he would shoot a double leg straight into a guillotine and then keep going for the takedown instead of fighting the hands around your throat. And then fall straight forward on top of him instead of driving him sideways and getting off to the side so you can escape the guillotine once on the ground instead of making it tighter. The takedown was reasonable. The execution of the takedown was dumb for an experienced fighter. You only have to try that a couple times and get choked out for it to learn that. It was literally the first thing I learned after one live roll of BJJ as a first day white belt. Don't go for a double leg and take them down straight backwards if they have ahold of your neck. If doesn't get you back points and they are allowed to choke you and you will get stuck there amd they will choke you.
lol casual
Petrino is a clown on steroids
Congrats Anthony, I'm happy for you!
On paper, Anthony Smith should be able to beat Godzilla. He's just better all around.
His friends at home like “damn we just regular now?” 😂😂😂
Felt this one.
Am I the only one who loves this new camera angle for post fight pressers?
Seriously. Great angle and distance. Simple things improve a look greatly.
Sound quality is really nice on this one too
Yes , yes you are
Is this the UFC’s production crew or mmafighting’s crew. Just curious
Eh. Yes, but miss the old. Feel like I'm watching a CNN interview special. And Dass weird.
We need more of ufc athletes showcasing their skills. Mighty Mouse and Aljo doing their bjj tournaments was sick and I hope Alex and Anthony can make their fight happen too
50 is crazy 💪
He's 35
Glad Lionheart got the win
How could you not love Anthony smith?
I’m 10 mins into this interview, so I apologize if this gets addressed by the end… The calf/leg kicks is exactly what led to Petrino shooting a takedown and getting choked out! After the 2nd calf kick I could tell his leg was compromised in a huge way!
I came to type that. You're right. He was limping out of the octagon . Those must of hurt bad
Nope, everyone was just regurgitating that dude did not defend the choke.
It’s good to see Ant up there smiling and having fun
🗿7:36
Legend
7:56 is the look of when you've just beaten a bum and you drunk on the win and over confident.
@jackpace6845 if you beat a " bum " which petrino isn't at all , under two minutes in the first round then you get to stick it to the haters.
Anthony Smith is Anthony Smith's favorite fighter
As he should be. If you don't believe in yourself to have chance of winninh then you shouldn't even be out there putting your health at risk.
gay boy says what?
Anthony Smith just become one of my favorites, real role model IMO. Respect from Canada🇨🇦🔥
Anthony 'Everyone has pegged me' Smith
Damn so proud of you Anthony smith
Definition of class. Great to see him succeed this deep in his career
Dude speaks well
He’s a gd commenter
That’s what she said
@@LP3me nah
@@hanoitripper1809 yes
S/o to the brazilian beast for the video setup! Holy hell this is some serious audio and video quality.
I think highly articulate smiths potential is behind the analysts desk .
Is this sarcasm
Agreed I think he can make way more money back there
He would probably be better off focusing all of his energy on his behind the desk job. He is good at it and would be better liked as an analyst if he wasn't an active fighter. He is almost washed as a ranked fighter anyways and is only getting older. I think he realizes this as well and just keeps doing it because he enjoys it and still has a little bit left in the tank. Same with Dom and Felder. If they still have the fire to keep competing at a high level when they have cushy full time jobs that pay well in the same field and where they don't have to get beat up, then more power to them. That's an impressive love of the sport. They aren't even doing it for the money at that point. They are putting themselves through hell preparing for a professional fight just because they enjoy it and because they still have confidence that they can win against the best in the world. Very few people could or would do that.
I'm pretty sure his fight pay is a decent house worth of money every time especially when he wins.
Khalil Rountree vs Alex Pereira will be a craaazy stand-up fight and Khalil is on a like 5 fight winning streak...book it Dana.
Rountree is booked to fight Hill already no?!
@@diskid3644ya you’re right. Maybe he’s saying if Khalil beats Jamahal ?
Khalil has looked amazing recently. Did he go disappear to train in Thailand before his resurgence? Smith came in on short notice unprepared for the Khalil fight. Most people thought it was a bad idea for him, and they were right. He would have had hisbwork cut out for him againsy that version of Khalil even if he was fully prepared and at his prime.
@@johnleedle3994 Does anyone else remember Khalil retiring? I remember several years ago, he officially retired, citing a lack of hunger or something like that. I was shocked to see him still fighting. I am worried that he will get badly KO'd by an angry Jamahal.
really happy for anthony
I love watching his journey. Not the best, fastest or meanest. Just a guy trying to figure it out. He might never get a title but he has kept that division going.
Yeah, I can imagine working with Anthony on a construction job and him talking about being a fighter, and the guys giving him hell about it.
10000000%! Dude you’re crazy that’s a pipe dream, don’t quit your day job, talk about him when he walks away, laugh at him. For some reason people can’t comprehend people they see as equals or less than them becoming “this”. Dream big would be my number 1 encouragement to my kids and believe it. Anyone who is successful will tell you they have failed 100x more than they succeeded but never gave up
Congratulations on the incredible win Anthony 👏👏👏
Smith is future HoF. The dude had a crazy heart against Glover. That was a crazy fight. He deserves respect. Smith has over 50 mma fights
Happy for smith he’s a good dude
Put some respect on his name 💯
He has 19 losses. No
🙄 He got lucky . His win doesn't take away the fact that he's still a delusional fool .
@@jdx1299he also has 35 finishes. What have you achieved in your life?
@@TrucknGame I got drafted out of HS by the sf giants in 2004. Played 7 seasons with both the angels and giants org and have been an MLB scout since the fall of 2015. What have you done? Hot dog eating comps don’t count either fat boy
@@noeleenredmond8868 he got lucky? lol you’re more delusional than smith himself
Dang! Just left a comment before watching. And you said the same thing. Keep being you. Open honest and kind. You have a legit fan base. My people roll for us. Ty for the great nights Anthony. Keep em coming!
Already a legend of the game, but Anthony’s becoming one of my favourite personalities in the sport 🙌🏼
Actually Mr. Smith DC does get flack sometimes & I remember when you were the guy who was pissed off at a commentator for what they had to say about you. That being said I respect your indomitable spirit. I wish you or Thiago Santos beat JJ though, I was rooting for you guys! At least Thiago came hard even with a torn ACL in the 2nd.
Lmao Anthony’s fight against jones was literally the worst performance of all time title fights
Smith has never been the most talented or athletic fighter in his division, but he has been a very solid fighter his entire, long career. He takes on anybody and never quits, even when he's outgunned. He could have took the belt and made himself a lot of money for the illegal knee by Jones and he didn't. That alone should get you a lot more respect from fans.
Well he constantly disrespects people who beat him by saying all these crazy thing in they ain’t thatgood
The Smiths are safe, protected by Lionheart & everybody is happy. Chama!
Great job Anthony 🔥🔥
Let’s just let him have this one boys.
You should watch an episode of BYM with him. He’s a good dude!
@@appleid3151no he’s not
Ugh fine
@@jdx1299 ok bro he’s not for you that’s fine
@@jdx1299 why ? because he hurt your feeling ?
Great Anthony Smith Interview.
Think smith should have as a fight analyst his own fight talk website , i would definitely follow . So knowledgeable in all aspects of the sport. Respect.
No disrespect. but Smith inside the octagon is nearly cooked , defeating antony is from the "sound of fight " attack his head , fend off his grabs , by 2 he is crumbling or gassing, hence his 5 losses in last 10 fights .
Fight talk website? You know he does a fight talk podcast right? We don’t need anymore content from him lol.
Good to see him happy and smiling after a win. Last few times he’s been really down because he lost. I like this guy. Anyone who can’t see he’s a genuine good guy is horrible at reading ppl.
Happy Smith won. Congrats lionheart.
Congrats on successfully protecting your family
Durham Region on the map with that Oshawa reporter hahah
I like this guy. Humble and well spoken. He can fight. He does media analysis. At first i wanted him to lose because I thought he was too cocky in interviews. But he’s real. I am rooting for him to become champion.
I hope Lionheart calls it a career soon. Because I really like the analysis and desk work he does for UFC. And Bisping podcast is pretty fun to listen to as well. Hopefully no more knocks to the head.
That Poatan interview is so old,i don't get why the media is talking about it now..
It’s hard not to like him. Always been one of my favorite fighters.
"The fans are stupid." They get mad when I tell them, though, lol.
A special breed of fighter. Excited for his future as an analyst. He will be one of the goats of ex-fighter turned analyst.
So he actually replied to an AI generated video of alex pereira. Smart dude….
i’m so happy for him man i really wanted that brazilian to lose after making my goat retire ( he had to retire cuz of money ) ANTHONY SMITH TITLE RUN HERE WE COME 🦅🇺🇸
Suprised he didnt call to run the round tree fight back and tell him to make sure he wins at 302
Congratulations Anthony on the win.
The disrespect someone letting you start on their back and saying you can’t finish me in 5 minutes is crazy
If you disagree with me it’s because “you’re” delusional - Anthony Smith
didn't heat him say that lol
It makes me SO happy to see Ant this happy!!! Its been a minute since the last time ive seen him smiling this much and in this good of a mood...... a hard earned and well deserved win Lionheart!! Lfg Ant, the BYM fam is super stoked for u right now and I bet Bisping was losing his 💩 with excitement too 🫡✌️
On paper he’s undefeated
Underrated comment
feed smith to poatan and let poatan send him into retirement😂
Anthony Smith is a legend
Strickland would beat him
@@mikedisalvo1479 maybe, probably not tho cause smith is way heavier
Genuinely curious why so many people dont like this dude. Hes always had my respect after that Jones fight. Carries himself with honor
He’s just cocky and always regards himself better than what he actually is. But ya, I don’t mind him and I’ve listened to a few BYM pods.
Im happy for the guy, He gets alot of hate but its not fair hes been grinding!! Give him some love!
So happy to see Anthony win, a lot of people hate on him and it’s crazy cause he’s just fighting to give his family a better life and to try and fulfill his dream. We need to have more respect for these athletes. Especially the OG’s
Ngl he been talking a lot kinda expected him to loose
You'd never know that Anthony didn't graduate high school, he seems very articulate
Glad for Anthony! Congrats, man, you are a good person and a fighter! 🙏
I really like Anthony. The definition of a self made man and I’m not referring to money. 💰
"People think I'm just a striker"...Anthony Smith
😂🤣
Happy for you bro!! 👊🏼
The shi* Smith was getting online was actually mostly honest criticism. the fact is Smith has been poor in previous fights, Smith looked extremely slow in this fight he was also extremely nervous what was coming back at him, I like Smith but he's barely Top 10 fighter these days Definitely won't get back to glory days of top 5 fighter, he got lucky in this fight I think his leg kicks caused petrino big problems not sure why as he only connected around 2 maybe 3 times, Petrino felt uncomfortable on that leg and got desperate hence his lunge at Smith, before that Petrino had Smith at distence just waiting to unleash his power punch hence why Smith was looking super nervous, but nice win for Smith onwards and upwards his next fight will be extremely interesting its one that he definitely must win, I think if he matched up with Petrino again Petrino would not make same mistakes again and would probably ko Smith.
He isn't a contender anymore. He is still a solid gatekeeper though, even outside of this athletic prime. He is seasoned enough to capitalize on small mistakes by younger, faster, stronger opponents. I wouldn't call the win luck on Smiths part as much as inexperience on Petrino's. Smith as able to find the holes in Petrino's game and take advantage of them. He should be hesitant standing with Petrino. The guy would have eventually knocked him out if he hadn't gotten him to shoot and if the guy would have executed a better takedown strategy, he would have still been in trouble and could have gotten ground and pounded out.
This has 109 k views and it deserves a million!
Anthony Smith, you gilly little goose!!! F the haters
That Buffer botch was the most egregious, yet hilarious thing that I've seen in a while. Bruce literally had to stop mid-announcement when Smith turns around to shoot him a puzzled look, lmao.
Bruce messes up alot honestly, but that one was really bad.
On paper, Anthony Smith didn't graduate from high school.
Anthony’s a good dude but cares way way too much about what people think of him
Well when it's tied directly to your income and reputation, it makes sense
@@supersayingoku13897 It makes him look just insecure. Lion shouldn't care what sheep thinks
Communicating speaking facts doesn't automatically mean that he cares so much about what other people think
He is the best fighter in ufc on paper
Dustin poirier is somewhere pissed as hell smith got the guillotine victory first.
😂😂😂
Best comment in the chat. Easily.
Parabéns pela vitória! Ninguém chega aonde voce chegou para ser usado como escada. Petrino tem futuro, mas estava confiante demais e tirando Smith como nada. Fica a lição e bola pra frente.
He is a true lion heart, a warrior. I respect what he achieved and he is still out there. Apart from fighting, he seems like a nice guy and he knows a lot about the sport. All the best to you man. Greetings from Serbia
Happy Smith won, im a ALEX FAN But i love him still cause hes a good person
Imagine alex pereira just starts punching him
I so hope him and Alex keep this bet cause now I'm interested😂
Anthony. Didn't know he was such a cool guy. What a sharp mind, honest heart, strong spirit...what's his nickname again? 😅😅😅
I'm glad Anthony got the win! Absolute legend of the sport. For all the 'on paper' haters; he's an analyst too, what do you expect?
Anthony Smith/ ---> Regular A** People Regular A++ Life Until I'm gone drinking bear and eating patato chips Villan Arc
I thought Anthony looked like his heart wasn't in it at the press conference,,, i thought in the fight he "apologized" after every punch he through ,,,,,,,,,Well ,, I was wrong ,,, Anthony got the job done , good for him , he deserves a happy moment
Caught some rookie in a dry choke, this dude got murdered by an old man 😂
He's right even if he hasn't had a title he's definitely more active than Jon Jones and rest of roster that's hof status right there 👏
Unlike most fighter's when Anthony speaks you understand him😂
I'm happy for Anthony.
Younger fighters listen to what Lion Heart saying , his name stand for something he is well seasoned very good roll model Nuff - Respect LION HEART
Genuinely happy for bro 👊🏼
Just have them fight, Poatan will get an easy title defense or Smith will actually prove what he’s been saying all along. Win-win
i am so happy he won. everytime he talks in broadcast alwyas hype me up then end up loosing but last night he went super saiyan!!! i think he could beat alex with that slick jab he does ,he hop front so fast then jab bro thats fastt
