Anthony knows exactly what Scott’s voice is saying within himself. Losing someone you love is the real fight. You allow yourself to drown in it a little to then learn to swim again. Much love and respect brother.
What happened ?? The deep sadness in his eyes I recognize this man needs systemic therapy.. support but not fighting ....watching his fight right now .this dude def is not in the right mind wishing him all the best
This is what it sounds like when someone is teetering on the edge of the abyss, and it usually doesn’t end well for people in this state of mind. While we all understand it’s just a fight, he’s mentally unraveling in front of the world. A close friend needs to step in and urge him to seek help before it’s too late.
Nah like Bisping won bc he took this stuff for what it is; an opportunity. Anthony takes for granted that these reporters and fans are gonna forget about him and all this unwanted attention will disappear. Like Izzy had the best mindset when he came back, that these glory days at the ufc are numbered and not taking every taking the fame and connections to upmost like Bisping does, with his podcast, movies, book, tour, and most importantly his ufc career, he's gonna regret it. I know because I regret every time I didn't take the little opportunities I had to make my life better, I can only imagine what smith will feel like 20 years later when he's retired.
props to Anthony Smith for dealing with these obtrusive questions when the man is doing his best to hold it together during his darkest day. i would've said no to the interview
@@JamesPeterson-y5l shut up. All that brain damage for 250k? He already has over 50 fights in MMA. Plus dude has a job at ESPN. Im glad he didn’t listen to people like you.
Yeah if i was betting I would have thrown $$ on Dominick seeing this interview. Anthony aint in the right frame of mind to fight. Dominick aint no joke. He saved his job vs Dustin Jacoby last time we saw him. Dominick is -380 last time I saw.
I’m betting the house on Reyes. Why would they do this interview before the fight?!? this is a man who’s checked out mentally and ready to collect their paycheck. Sounds just like Nick Diaz when he was complaining about everything and not caring if he wins.
@@Ash51511 I wish somebody in his life would say you need time to grieve. I think this fight was supposed to be at 309 but was moved here. I dont bet and this interview scared me. He looked mentally checked out and ready to hang it up.
You must have not followed why his mindset is like this right now. 99% of other fighters would have pulled out of the fight in the grieving circumstances he’s in. He just lost his mentor dude, the guy that brought him into mma and coached him up
Yesterdays fight was the saddest ive ever seen. I hope he fights one more time to go out on a good note, but if not its all good. Just wishing him the best.
This doesn’t sound like someone who is channeling their pain into a more positive outcome - Anthony sounds like he is still angry, mourning, and hurt. I wish him the best personally, but I don’t know if he’s in a position to really perform against a dangerous Reyes.
@Juel92 Even to be a coach, the fighter still has to have the fire and the passion to still be involved in the game. He seems to be enjoying the commentary aspect a little bit more from collabing with Bisping or joining the panel as the postfight commentator's.
We may be seeing the last of Smith fighting-got to love the candor and honesty in such a horrible mind space. Wishing you peace, love and happiness brother!
Brett, you are a great interviewer. You have that ability to ask all the right questions while still really caring about the person being interviewed. 👍
Anthony has entered self destruction mode 3000. Him having the opportunity to commentate and then calling the media the fakest thing he’s ever seen. He’s wrapping up his fighting career and putting an axe to his media career.
@DanBolton-my9bx I watched enough of hits fights to know he's a quitter ... All talk then he gets smokes and then he says " I don't care if I win or lose " which means I'm just here to make some cash and go back to the nice safe table and talk about the fights lol... Again I don't need to know him when he shows his true self in the cage .
There is only Now! Thats all we have. See it visualize it and fight. Winning or Loosing is not important. Give it your all and the result will show. Believe in yourself, people out there like myself, believe you can win,you can win. Stipe my Croatian by blood brother is a great person to have with you as training partner and friend.
This dude has never been the same after Jon Jones. He trashed Jones so bad leading to the Stipe fight. When Jones beat Stipe, he beat Smith a second time.
I hate to say it but he always comes across a little depressive... It isn't just his coach dying or this time around. People have said he has been unconcerned with winning and losing in previous fights of his too... not just the Gustafson fight.
I’ve never seen a man so ripe for the saving grace that only Jesus can provide. Meaning, hope, forgiveness, salvation, and value all stem from knowing our Creator. Christians reading this: Let’s pray for Anthony and desperately hope for a solid Jesus follower to come alongside him to guide and disciple him.
losing someone sucks. anthony shouldnt be there this week. crapping on the media, the fans, the WORK, is not my cup of tea. just go home bro and deal with your stuff.
I feel Smith should become a coach or something. It's been a while since I felt he belonged in the cage. And not because of skill but he just looks like he hates it in the cage, like he wants to be everywhere else but in the cage.
We love ya Anthony and we feel your pain, we're with you brother
pfft no we're not, he sucks and needs to leave the sport
Anthony knows exactly what Scott’s voice is saying within himself. Losing someone you love is the real fight. You allow yourself to drown in it a little to then learn to swim again. Much love and respect brother.

@ his close friend/mentor/coach that’s been with him his whole career passed a few weeks ago in his sleep
Seems like Smith cares more about his coach dying than when his Mom died....What a weird guy...
"You allow yourself to drown in it a little to then learn to swim again" ❤

He just lost his closest friend dude, he is sad about his friend dying for fucks sake
@ most people feel this way when they lose some one they love. Just most people arnt this honest
@ you know it brother 👍
And he has a lion heart
TJ in the back rubbing his shoulders
It’s nice that Brett Okamoto despite the expectation to be professional, cussed with Anthony to level with him on a personal basis at 7:37.
I didnt like this interview from him. Too intrusive and insensitive
Keep your head up Anthony mad love and respect brother
Anthony is a sincere dude skipping all of the BS ,,, have to respect him for that

100%
@@alphatip.suseless comment, just hit the thumbs up ya lil bit
I wish nothing but the best for Anthony and the people around him. I recognise how he is feeling, people should give him a break.
Anthony is a great commentator, and has a ton of skills and weapons. Don't ever count this man out. That would be stupid.
yes sir.
Imo he should become a coach or something. He just looks like he hates it in the cage nowadays.
Honestly I think he’s a great dude. However, dude needs to retire. Like what is he trying to accomplish at this point?
Sometimes it feels like he's intentionally self-harming with his fights.
He makes $250k win or lose.....for less then 15 minutes of work....focus on your own life buddy
@@JamesPeterson-y5l shut up. All that brain damage for 250k? He already has over 50 fights in MMA. Plus dude has a job at ESPN. Im glad he didn’t listen to people like you.
Smith is hurting of losing his long-term coach. He is in pain. One day at a time and you will be ok.
Reyes line just got bigger

This is a cry for help. I really hope his friends and family see this and reach out to him. We love you Lionheart
Super genuine dude.
Always root for this dude, and appreciate his honesty. Also lost my kid raising mentor/brother. Sending this brother positive thoughts and prayers.
This video made me really like Anthony. Dude has gone through a lot. Wish him nothing but the best
hes great human being and also he doesn't really want to be there, reminds me of
Nick Diaz media week before Diaz vs. Robbie 2
Same. He’s clearly crying for help and accepted the fact he’s going to lose.
On paper, we all love Anthony Smith. Get a win dawg
Anthony's last win was in his living room at 3am
@ you mean Vic Petrino in May
@johnsnow7873 deff not to bright are you?
You can literally see the pain in his eyes and face. Insane. Prayers up for Smith 🙏
i hope Anthony heal from this grieve fight
With the loss of his mentor/coach/friend you can tell he is having a mental battle within himself. Hope he gets the win he deserves it
God. He looks like he isn’t even here. Worrying
This is sad 😔 come on LIONHEART

No longer feeling great and seeing holes. Appreciate his honesty about where his head's at.

Anthony smith has always been a true man in and out of the octagon 🛑 I can tell he’s hurt from this big time !
Smith: "Why you talking about my dead friend!"
Reyes: "Huh!?"
lmfaooooooo
Yeah he has to quit fighting
Seems Anthony is burnt out on this sport .
I sense he's gonna fight very emotional and get caught by Dom.
Imo he has seemed burned out of fighting for a long time. He could probably make for a solid coach instead.
@Juel92 Even to be a coach, the fighter still has to have the fire and the passion to still be involved in the game.
He seems to be enjoying the commentary aspect a little bit more from collabing with Bisping or joining the panel as the postfight commentator's.
I love you Anthony. You are so strong! You inspire me !
I love you Anthony Smith.
Sorry for your loss... Stay strong man.
Anthony is a good dude. All love and respect to him.
Anthony Smith during the fight: "You attacked my coach"
Hahahahahahah ur so funny man
great mindset tbh, the outcome is out of your control if you put in the work just focus on the moment, the rest just is what it is
YOURE AN IDIOT
Anthony, From one human to another, I hope and pray for blessings in your life. This will pass brother. Goodness is right around the corner.
We may be seeing the last of Smith fighting-got to love the candor and honesty in such a horrible mind space. Wishing you peace, love and happiness brother!
Before he even opened his mouth he looked off.
This is really sad to see and I feel for Anthony.
I hope Bisping has reached out to him.
I hope he can focus his pain and win!
Come on Anthony finish your career with a win over Reyes. You can do it man!
Hope the best for Anthony. Hard to go through what he’s going through right now.
Really not sure why Anthony is even fighting this weekend. Sounds like he doesn’t want to for sure
anthony your the man!
please know we real fans of your work will always support you! much love tou the smoth family!
Lets go smith your time.
Lion heart we love your realness
Your fkcn time anthony lets go.
Jon Jones’ sons
Brett, you are a great interviewer. You have that ability to ask all the right questions while still really caring about the person being interviewed. 👍
This is one of the best interviews he has ever done
full respect bro
This dude is losing it, or lost it. Either way he shouldn't be fighting anymore. At least try to keep the rest of your brain cells.
Glover took it all from him in that fight. Corner shoulda saved him.
Edit: halfway through, ohhhh boy. He's not gonna take a loss well dudes.
In Anthony's head he's still and always fighting Jon Jones.
Constant struggle right? Bro needs to either retire or get over himself. Stop feeling bad for yourself and be the man.
Clown
Reyes by first round tko
Lionheart is real AF!!
Let's GOO Lion Heart! Always riding with you Big Dawg!
It’s all love Lionheart.
This is a retirement fight for one of them
Anthony has entered self destruction mode 3000. Him having the opportunity to commentate and then calling the media the fakest thing he’s ever seen. He’s wrapping up his fighting career and putting an axe to his media career.
Feel for him so much in this. He shouldn’t be fighting
He is retiring this week
I think something like this effects some fighters differently. But for Anthony, it looks like it’s gonna hinder him.
I hope he wins to see his post fight speech
Smith for the champ🎉
7:29 There's no one to call... Cuts deep....
I lost my bestfriend 3 years ago in november and barely it has become managable
This is what a beaten man sounds like. He just needs money .
So you think that he needs money? You checked his bank account to know that?
People go through things and life, and he is still trying. I salute him for continuing to push forward when a lot of other people would have given up.
Nah... he’s in self-destruct mode, consumed by his grief over losing someone so special in his life.
yeah you re the keyboard warriors he was referring to that knows next to nothing about him
@DanBolton-my9bx I watched enough of hits fights to know he's a quitter ... All talk then he gets smokes and then he says " I don't care if I win or lose " which means I'm just here to make some cash and go back to the nice safe table and talk about the fights lol...

Realness
LIONHEART 💯
"on coping" lmao you guys doing Smith dirty 🤣
On paper, Anthony wins paper but in reality be gets nasty cut and the doctor stops it in the first 🙄
Anthony has great ground work he doesnt use it enough
I have never been a Smith fan. Could never figure out why. Now I know why. I have some of the same personality traits.
And thats finding yourself. Eventually you have to go back and do the stupid things anyhow, otherwise you'll go insane.
Let's go lionheart
This is Anthony's last fight. This is the worst attitude to have going into a fight Reyes wins easy and Smith hangs em up
THANK YOU
There is only Now!
Thats all we have.
See it visualize it and fight.
