That actually literally would have won him the belt in the Jon fight lol. But his unhealthy ego and low iq and pride clouded his judgment. That’s why Aljo is the goat for taking the DQ win
On paper Dennis Siever was actually a fighter. Also on paper Jon Jones never used PED's or fled from a crash with a pregnant woman. I'm also sure Dana has a lot of coke on paper. A lot of things in the UFC on paper...
Difference is bob sapp started taking dives after a collar bone break he if you watch his career after he got injured bad and lost a fight he started giving up. Atleast even if he never admitted it it’s clear he just wanted the money, smith actually wants to believe he’s a threat to Alex which is absurd
@@Richerrr-g6gon paper if you take away Alex’ skills and limbs he’s not that good. He’s pretty good, but if you take his limbs and cut them off he’s really not that good
What bothers me the most is that he has like 3 windows in every one of these instances for over 10 seconds, that getting up and away is extremely feasible for someone with Anthony’s alleged talent. Then he waits until that option closes before trying to escape
Dude was handing his teeth to the ref, took an illegal knee from Jon that fucked him up and still refused the dq win. Are you actually trying to say anthony smith isn’t tough? You’re a fucking dork lmao
On paper, turtle is Smith's best position. Nearly won him a title, after all. I do respect him for not taking the DQ win against Jones, but man, just imagine if he had. Totally different landscape at 205, and Aljo wouldn't have been the first to capture the belt by "unable to continue."
“Totally different landscape” not really, they would have had an immediate rematch and Jon would have got the belt back, only difference is his fight with Reyes would have been a bit later and his subsequent 3 year absence might have been more like 2 1/2 years
If you have ever wrestled before you know in that position you have to fight and grit your teeth to make sure you end up back on your feet. He just legit isnt trying and accepted defeat.
Fetal position is the best base for MMA. The fetal position protects his family. The fetal position is the best position on paper. On paper, Smith's fetal position beats Jon Jones.
The fact I was just rewatching the card and realizing just how bad Smith looked in his fraud check fight against a middleweight then you upload this....perfection.
He could've laid down and got the title and got a DQ win against Jones, he also fights anyone, anywhere and anytime, if u dislike him then that's fine but he defnitely has a lionheart @@byrdman2993
damn this is actually a poignant and accurate observation i bet its true lol. i remember recently i think it was chael suggesting anthony needs to talk to a sport psychologist lol.
Anthony starts off well with skilled martial artists or killers like Walker and Glover but he ALWAYS mentally checks out by about round 2 and you visibly see him repeatedly decide to allow a knockdown or he drops to his knees. He's tough as hell but only if he decides to stay in there and often he doesn't.
He looks like a world beater against unranked/barely ranked fighters and then he looks like he does not belong in the cage with top 10 fighters because he actually does not belong there.
It's tough when everyone you fight is a "double threat". MMA fighters that have stand up AND grappling are super rare and no one could expect Anthony to possible deal with that.
I think Lionheart is an ironic nickname. Dude quits in every fight. I want to like him but he does this every time and then talks like he's out there destroying people.
I was always a supporter of his delusion to be honest it did kind of feel he could get back to contention if he managed to put together a small streak of 3 wins or something. But then seeing him talk after the abysmal dolidze loss really shows he doesn't even believe his own delusion. Like bisping was always seemingly deluded but he really believed in himself and got the title Smith uses his delusion to just cope with losses and when it comes down to it, he doesn't believe he can make it to the top so he needs to retire unless there is some specific fighter he wants to challenge
He’s been ruining himself with his delusional takes. I at least used to respect the guy, but he’s making it harder and harder when he calls himself the best 205er yet never proves that statement
Reminds me of that saying that some fighters will make a deal with their opponent with their body language. "I'll stop trying to win, if you stop trying to hurt me" Smith won't tap but at the same time he won't go for broke and die trying. He'll cover up and remain defensive and stop offering any threating offense, leaving his opponent to just stay on him doing enough to win rounds without them needing to really go for the finish. He does this on the feet too, like in his last fight or the fight with Walker.

Anthony is the LHW champ rn.. on paper
On paper, curled up in a fetal position is the best base for MMA. Jon Jones, Fedor, GSP all started out their life in this position before MMA.
Every fight starts standing up, every human starts curled up in a fetal position
That actually literally would have won him the belt in the Jon fight lol. But his unhealthy ego and low iq and pride clouded his judgment. That’s why Aljo is the goat for taking the DQ win
@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights not true. Don Frye was born in the salute position riding an American Eagle
@@rumchata6569imagine jon having 2 DQ losses on his record and a loss to Chael via toe break. thats the timeline i wanna live in
On paper this video is false
A true contender. Should've been champ 5 times
On paper Sean Strickland is the highest volume striker in the upper weight classes…
On paper Dennis Siever was actually a fighter.
Also on paper Jon Jones never used PED's or fled from a crash with a pregnant woman.
I'm also sure Dana has a lot of coke on paper. A lot of things in the UFC on paper...
Such a good comment. I hope this remains on top
😂
I’m convinced the home invaders had him in the fetal position he just won’t admit it
That's true
ON PAPER
@@Armsby5134 If you take Smith’s record and take away his losses he’s undefeated
Invader *
@@realife1542 *on paper
🤣😭
On paper, Smith was working his way back to his feet the whole time
"Probably put the nail in the coffin of getting the title" Sorry Anthony but that nail was put in a looooooong time before Dolidze
he said that? hahahaha
This is the reason smith shouldn't have got salty about tj telling him how it is. This is exactly what bob sapp was doing.
Anthony saw the video of tj?
@@al1364 yeah he responded the day after the podcast maybe even the same day.
At least Sapp was losing on purpose
Difference is bob sapp started taking dives after a collar bone break he if you watch his career after he got injured bad and lost a fight he started giving up. Atleast even if he never admitted it it’s clear he just wanted the money, smith actually wants to believe he’s a threat to Alex which is absurd

"Ninja Turtle!!!"
ITP knew exactly what the people needed
The video title alone made me actually LOL
On paper, lionheart is in a dominant position
*turtleheart
*Lionfart
🤣🤣
@lion3217 😂😂
Protecting his family by any means necessary… what a warrior!
Came for the disrespect, stayed for the music.
Whats the song?
Anthony Smith in his classic "croissant guard"
😂
He’s perpetually in the little bro position
What bothers me the most is that he has like 3 windows in every one of these instances for over 10 seconds, that getting up and away is extremely feasible for someone with Anthony’s alleged talent. Then he waits until that option closes before trying to escape
"alleged talent" 😂
God the whole Glover fight was hard to watch 🤣
He's not even Turtle Heart, cause the turtle beats the hare in a race, because the turtle never gives up.
bro is the opposite of derrick "just get up" lewis
“Wrestling doesn’t work just curl up”
I can hear the Guru in my head describing Anthony Smiths "fighting" style and it is just too funny, because it is so true
"lion heart" he definitely gave himself that nickname 💀
Dude was handing his teeth to the ref, took an illegal knee from Jon that fucked him up and still refused the dq win. Are you actually trying to say anthony smith isn’t tough? You’re a fucking dork lmao
😂😂😂😂
Even when he wins, it’s usually when he’s being pushed up against the fence like Rashad Evans
Wake up babe, ITP MMA posted
A classic Pigheart moment
tj dillashaw said nothing wrong
"I'm these guys world title fight"-📄 🐢
TJ was spitting facts
The Anthony smith position 💯
On paper, turtle is Smith's best position. Nearly won him a title, after all. I do respect him for not taking the DQ win against Jones, but man, just imagine if he had. Totally different landscape at 205, and Aljo wouldn't have been the first to capture the belt by "unable to continue."

@theo4014 you're factually wrong. Smith winning the title and the schedule lining alone would have made the divisions history be different
now remember he doesnt quit in fights and will be a champ one day lol
Smith is getting cooked lately damn
A long time coming if you've been following the stupid shit he's been saying for years
Lately???
If you have ever wrestled before you know in that position you have to fight and grit your teeth to make sure you end up back on your feet. He just legit isnt trying and accepted defeat.
Fetal position is the best base for MMA.
The fetal position protects his family.
The fetal position is the best position on paper.
On paper, Smith's fetal position beats Jon Jones.
Almost did beat jones with that fetal position 😉
Anthony 'fetus heart' smith
The fact I was just rewatching the card and realizing just how bad Smith looked in his fraud check fight against a middleweight then you upload this....perfection.
Smith’s only clean win was over an unranked guy who displayed 0 fight IQ
Shoutout to when Rountree sandblasted Smith so hard that he did a backwards tactical roll into fetal position.
TJ was spot on with what he said. Anthony is no longer a lionheart
He never was💀
He could've laid down and got the title and got a DQ win against Jones, he also fights anyone, anywhere and anytime, if u dislike him then that's fine but he defnitely has a lionheart @@byrdman2993
Maybe it’s ironic.. like calling a fat guy slim?
Never was
The PRIDE, OF NEBRAAASSSKA!!! 🌽👑
What people don't know is that turtle guard is highly effective in blocking punches with the face.
I was ready to give this a thumbs up and then the background music kicked in.😂
This is the guy who talks like he’s the biggest threat in the division 😂
In the wild, Lions are known to put their paws over their ears
Sometimes he "fights" like he's been deeply traumatized tbh.
damn this is actually a poignant and accurate observation i bet its true lol. i remember recently i think it was chael suggesting anthony needs to talk to a sport psychologist lol.
Smith using the secret arts of the turtle
TJ wasn’t lying 😂
aye but ON PAPER he’s the goat
On paper not being finished is being lion heart !!! 🤣
Id like to see footage of you guys fighting...obviously all these experts in here
Hardest watch of my RUclips watching career. Props for getting through this edit 🙏 🙏
On Paper, Anthony actually won all these grappling exchanges
Anthony starts off well with skilled martial artists or killers like Walker and Glover but he ALWAYS mentally checks out by about round 2 and you visibly see him repeatedly decide to allow a knockdown or he drops to his knees. He's tough as hell but only if he decides to stay in there and often he doesn't.
Bro the music ☠️ 😅
How can anyone whos ground defense is sit on his ass, ever think they can be champ.
Crazy how some nights Smith looks like a world beater (his last win over Petrino) and others he looks like he doesnt belong in the top 15
He looks like a world beater against unranked/barely ranked fighters and then he looks like he does not belong in the cage with top 10 fighters because he actually does not belong there.
On paper being curled up in the fetal position is the best base for MMA.
This is a wild video lol
I normally watch most videos on 2x speed cause autism but this one my soul needed to suffer on full speed
Eww keep that condition a secret lol
Tism, ew
Anthony Smith has come down with a case of Twoodley-ism
It’s where you’re so scared of getting tired that you just give up and accept a decision loss.
Turtle heart haha. That’s a good one
on paper he beats perira in kickboxing
I hope this video gets a million views ❤😂
Now you’re 100 percent attacking his family
Comment section killing me 😂 💀
if u take away the face he wasn't 🐢 turtled up....
Anthony “On paper” Smith 🐐🐐almost as dominant as Chael “I can’t let you get close” Sonnen
Thats not fetal position. it's just his impenetrable combat base. On paper, he wins in this position every time.
He immediately mentally quits if the fight doesn't go his way in the 1st round
It amazes me he was ever in that cage with jones
This video is blasphemy and profanity against the on paper goats legacy ITP, I think we can all say we await an apology on the next stream.
calls himself "Lionheart"
gives up every sign of trouble
then does just enough to not get finished
what a baldie
This is called the “womb defense.” On paper, the most primal way of defending oneself.
Glover absolutely smashed Anthony smith.
Just stand up Anthony!
You mean smith guard
The only fighter that Alex Pereira could control for 25 minutes... on paper at least
It's tough when everyone you fight is a "double threat". MMA fighters that have stand up AND grappling are super rare and no one could expect Anthony to possible deal with that.
Banger as usual.
on paper he's winning since he's not in danger
"It is what it is"
-Anthony Smith getting dominated by Glover
The music bro I can’t 😭😭😭
The title 😂😂
I think Lionheart is an ironic nickname. Dude quits in every fight. I want to like him but he does this every time and then talks like he's out there destroying people.
You don't have that home invasion footage when Joe Nobody gave him a run for his money?

turtle heart lmao
Lovin the music
😂😂😂😂😂 that title!
Turtle Combat!!!!!….the new move!!!!!….WOW!!!!!!!
"Turtle Heart" is dirty, man...instant watch though
BWAHAHAHAHAHA You and TJ are going to ruin this man XD
He’s been ruining himself with his delusional takes. I at least used to respect the guy, but he’s making it harder and harder when he calls himself the best 205er yet never proves that statement
The ultimate defensive mechanism
He's mastered that position 👶♥️
He never quits
To be fair he does this cuz he expects them to be better.
Mentally tapping to strikes, similar to Brock.
Seriously, how did Smith go from a decently likable fella, to a hated, annoying whiner?
Reminds me of that saying that some fighters will make a deal with their opponent with their body language. "I'll stop trying to win, if you stop trying to hurt me"
Smith won't tap but at the same time he won't go for broke and die trying. He'll cover up and remain defensive and stop offering any threating offense, leaving his opponent to just stay on him doing enough to win rounds without them needing to really go for the finish. He does this on the feet too, like in his last fight or the fight with Walker.
Opening up with commentary calling him lionheart was foul lmaooo
Thank you for embarrassing this coward of a fighter 😂😂😂
Hold my teeth, brother. I'm turtling.
For a guy nicknamed lionheart he doesn't show much heart in any of his fights.
