Anthony "On paper if I show up" Smith
lmaooo brutal/true
@@constantinelycouris2325 Exactly: On a paper, in a good day, if I show up - maybe - someday in a lifetime. So delusional.
The host screaming down the mic makes this interview unwatchable.
Everytime
@@kgu9870 sounds like he has something in his mouth.
I love this channel,but if he is in the video I can't watch it. I have mentioned this several times going back almost a year now and I am not the only one, clearly. The fact that he still does it means they don't read comments or simply don't care about their audience. It is very annoying for sure.
Is this the kid from "Pee Wee" & "Ghoulies 2"?
Whatd he doing im only a few minutes through... dude i cant tell thus far.. or is it that 🤔 loud voice or talking rather than nodding?? Idk hope hes ok and love Anthony Smith's message just don't know why people don't understand while still an active fighter, many trolls call em delusional and clearly are not fighters or just haters to some degree. Having said that. If they were being nice talking about his illusion when he's breaking himself down rather than breaking down for analyzing another fighter, then yeah he's going to say some non truths or exaggerated or back himself to the very end I'm pretty sure that's what almost every fighter does so this troll hate is old and very unproductive. Although he may not be a hall of famer, that man is a staple in mixed martial arts, and I just don't like the disrespect people gave him. Seems like it's purposeful and purposely not productive it's just to be douchebags congratulations you trolls. Good luck on your next fight Anthony and I like Khalil and sweet dreams Hill. Damn, how do you root against Khalil Rountree Jr develop me the best man win and when he does hope you get your next fight at a proper timeline
ah its the man who eats the mic
Why he do that? It’s terrible
Goddamnittt these are unwatchable
@@rollin60z what’s crazy is he seems to be intentionally emphasizing his speech impediment. Brother why? You’re blowing out the mic. Knock it off
Fookin ruins it. That and the "I'm glad he proved me wrong" bs as if he's the man 😂
He’s an incel
Came in for the hateful yet 100% justified comments, left satisfied.
RUclips nerds be like^
@@trevstation I like how your picture looks like smith. Bet both of you together make 80 iq.
@@marcusj8623 🎯🎯🎯
@@trevstation do you know your on RUclips??go take your medication and lay down 💊
lmao same
This dude is so delusional is incredible and should be studied.
He's a punching bag for the entire division and in his head he's the Goat.
🤣
doubt he thinks hes the goat lol
MMA fans are vile. What have you done?😂
At this point I think Izzy, Jamal and Anthony are competing as to who can be more delusional.
@@schism6976 nothing
This man is so delusional, he doesn't understand the fact that Alex Pereira can teach striking to his striking coaches, that's how good Poatan is. Saying ''it's just a shot that he didn't see coming'' is a pathetic cope. Poatan beats both smith and hill on the night.
Which is why all Pereira has to do on the ground is survive.
The other thing with Pereira is, he's so calm on the feet. He uses so little energy compared to his opponent. There's like zero stress or wasted energy.
Unwatchable because of the host just yelling in the mic like a madman.
Bro afraid of loud noises
Is this the kid from "Pee Wee" & "Ghoulies 2"?
I don’t understand this hosts layout. It’s like if he put marbles in his mouth, puts the mic directly in front of his mouth blocking his face and just yells at the mic. It’s so distracting. And unprofessional I think too.
He is terrible
Clicks video, immediately hears Damon Jackson, exits video
how is this orc still relevant?
Bro how is this dude so cocky? he got all his teeth knocked out some fight ago.
@thecasual4698 he's 1 of 2 fighters left from way back. He's got a right to speak what tf he wants 😂
😂😂😂
thought i was the only one who saw the white orc hehe
Finally someone else recognized Smiths true nature him Marvin Vetorri and Anthonys Russian twin are all Orcs
The most delusional fighter of all time
I used to be a huge fan of Anthony Smith and his takes when he was coming up, but in the past few years, everything he says concerning himself and his division is just insane. Dude, come on!
Delusional LoL
Him and Jamahal Hill are close and both sound like they've been smoking that Ronda Rousey pack lately 😂
@@westsidera97 Hill's statements post the Pereira fight were extraordinarily delusional, even for him.
Yup agree…Something happened in that moon head some get humbled HE talks like he is Jon Jones
@@westsidera97lol the ol rousey herb?
"Alex has had favorable match ups - and has caught lightning in a bottle." "How's he still winning? It doesn't make sense. He's very very very good at one thing and mediocre at the rest." At this point my read is - Smith knows he won't make it via ranking so he's trying to use his mouth like Tito's wife - and work his way into a title shot.
I don't even get the favourable matchups thing. Adesanya, Costa, Vettori, Whittaker, Cannonier, those are the names available at the top: where is the elite grapple ? It's not like you had a Islam in the division and the UFC tried in every way to avoid that type of matchup. There are no AAA grapplers at middleweight, so every matchup is, in a sense, a favourable matchup for Pereira.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Costa is an elite grappler. He's not told anybody or shown it yet. But i am the only one who knows it. And now u know it
@@four321zero Sure an elite grappler that cannot takedown Adesanya.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956Ankalaev is elite, put him in there with alex and see how that goes but nope ofc he’s moving to heavyweight now
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 wow. yeah izzy is something special, isn't he
Alex beat 5 former or current world champions in a row, on the other hand anthony smith made johny walker look like prime Anderson silva and is a human punching bag unfortunately nowadays.
This is laughable coming from a guy this bad who still thinks he can be champ!
On paper, Johnny Walker was attacking his family
underrated comment
If Pereira knocks out Ankalaev before Ankalaev takes him down, it might just break Anthony.
Alex beat former champions to get and defend the 205lb belt. Problem is... Anthony is losing his favorable match ups.
Dudes voice sounds like what a hamburger would sound like if it could speak
I guess that guy that made the "anthony Smith is delusional" vid was really right
Don’t sleep on Lucas
flucas glazy goat
I’m pretty sure top 5 featherweights could beat Anthony smith in a 3 rounder
yeah but not "on paper" 😂
Of course he criticizes Pereira, Smith went from title contender to punching bag in less than a year!
I have always been a Smith fan but lately he talks down 9n people skills but can't back up he's own skiils in any fight!!!
Pereira would smash Smith just like old glover did.
Sometimes it's better to stfu and win you are in no place to talk when you have almost more losses the wins on your record
Anthony is very jealous😂
Alex would ko smith so hard he wouldnt even be able to broadcast again
If delusion was a person
15:45 no you do not finish Anthony, history shows you got less than a 50/50 shot of winning
Anthony Smith is his own biggest fan and hype man
Anthony On Paper Smith
ALEX is a two division champion in less than 10 fights in the UFC, the guy on the left is a fat nerd and the guy on the right gets lit up every-time he fights and will never even smell a title again, they is levels lads😎😎😎🗣️
This guy is the Jimmy Fallon of MMA media. Just screaming into the mic and telling everyone how awesome they are. Are these even questions? What am I watching?
Anthony Smith Stop worshiping Jan Błachowicz your best days are behind you don't deserve this fight 😏👊
He just hasn’t looked the same since that Glover fight.
His coaches should’ve called it in between rounds 3 & 4 (or sooner) but especially then because his demeanor was clearly not of someone wanting to continue fighting, but they sent him back out there.
@@mikeymouse3941 shows how much you know. Smith is known for pulling his coach's and the ref to the side and telling them he wants to go out on his shield 😂 that's literally why he's called lionheart 🤡
The fight where Glover literally started doing ground control so he wouldn't have to keep punching Smith in the face and knocking more teeth out.
When your opponent literally holds back control on you and says “sorry about this” and you say “it is what it is”, you know you’re in over your head.
And this is what the UFC puts on the desk....!!!! Unbelievable what a dummy
Smith is delusional it’s not going to get there if he was on Alex’s back it’s not likely he’s getting away it won’t even get there Smith.
This podcast was about Poatan 👏 thank you 😊
Anthony Smith is the Ryan Clark of MMA.
Anthony wont let his ego go, he was talking about beating up people in the gym and not taking it easy anymoee. Its funny now that he loses in the UfC he takes it out on his training partners . Its insane & highly driven by his ego
Smith and Pereira have both competed in the same divisions and Smith almost has 5 times more fights than him (57 compared to 12 from Pereira), but just take a look at the difference in accomplishments.
What are you talking about Alex Pereira defended all of Jan wrestling and even when he was on bottom, he took no damage and he beat yawn in the leg kicks and in the standup and had him hurt yes Jan did fight fight, but Alex hurt him more while Jan just wanted to hold pereira and not engage in striking but yes Alex can fight to a decision. He also went to decision against Bruno Silva.
good for Anthony Smith to get the community talking about him - because without controversy we'd have no reason to say his name
Anthony gets sparked by Alex in around the same amount of time Jamahal did.
Smith is a trash can. A speed bump in his division. Stay irrelevant
It’s not that people take things out of context and use it as a clickbait in Anthony’s case. Sure, there’s plenty of clickbait on MMA sites and channels. But in Smith’s case it’s just the words that he uses. He argues that he means things differently from how they are perceived. Well, choose your words better, then. Because you have the constant problem of coming off salty or disrespectful to your opponent’s skillsets, which he claims he isn’t doing. But you can’t claim that when you literally say things like “Jon Jones isn’t actually that good”.
BACK AWAY FROM THE MIC
Can someone explain why this host always hides behind his microphone? Are his teeth rotten or something? That is SO annoying but not as much as the tone of his voice
Anthony Smith really begging to take a nap
does anyone listen to the audio before posting the video? Levels can be adjusted in the editing process, which I assume the uploader knows.
Can the interviewer hear himself during the interview? I wanted to watch this content but can't because the audio levels are horrible making this not pleasant to listen to.
so smith is reacting to what smith said earlier
what does matt brown think about this whole thing?
Bro keeps embarrassing himself on the mic and on his fights
said the super fighter who has 19 defeats in mma 😂
This the same guy who had Glover on his back & knocked his teeth out? Jan the same guy who held down Izzy for 10 plus minutes in their fight, Jiri who beat Rakic who schooled Smith himself? The levels of delusion you have to have to have these takes is crazy
Poatan has the same number of succesful takedowns vs a champion than Anthony Smith does. Poatan took down an active champion and won the figjt, Anthony Smith took down Glover(pre-champ) and ended up having his teeth and lights knocked out
Anthony Smith never supports Poatan, gives negative criticism or questions the Brazilian when he is a commentator at the UFC or TNT Sports table. When it's McGregor, Ngannou or Adesanya, it doesn't matter if there's little or no grappling. But Alex is annoys some ex-fighters who are commentators! He achieved in less than 3 years what they dreamed of for a lifetime in MMA. Speally Smith - he's as salty as Adesanya, but never even reached close to Izzy or Alex. Glover Teixeira punched a bunch of his teeth off 😅
Dude retire already
Not watching because the host is eating his mic
Anthony smith is 37-19 . His ego is insane
It’s official Antony Smith is the new Kevin Lee
That split decision was pretty nuts.
Lol favorable matchups at light heavyweight? if by favorable matchups u mean the last 3 lightheavyweight Champs not name Glover Teixeira lol
Smith is one of my favorites regardless of record.. as a person I love the guy. But Alex in my opinion is the truth of 205
Dudes glazing tf out of Anthony lol
Dude is baked every interview, and get a smaller mic! It’s weird not seeing your mouth move.
The glazing done at the beginning of this interview.
Bro lately hes literally fighting the best competition every single opponent was a legit champion at some point😂
When you’re a fighter you have to be delusional, you have to believe you can beat everyone you fight, you have to be confident, if you allow doubt to creep into your mind then you will instantly be at a disadvantage, so I don’t knock fighters for being delusional, you have to be
Not when you are considered an "analyst". You have to be objective on how you rank other fighters. Smith is extremely jealous of Alex's success and constantly downplays his achievements while he can't even beat guys like khalil.
Respectfully, can you please do something about the microphone placement? None of the other guests or interviewers do this which works fine, it's too loud and blown out and it covers half your face. It's unprofessional and completely unnecessary lol
F Harrington 💀🤣
CTE
Have we ever seen people that has become commentators or analyst really perform really good after getting hired. Cause i feel like they maybe dont want it as much as the others who fights for every paycheck. Anthony has been bad lately and he might wanna think about if it might be time to retire and focus on being an ufc guy. Cause i think its too much to both work for the ufc and fight for them all well. Just my opinion.
I see all these digs at Ant in the comments. It's crazy, he's got to be one of the all around, best dudes in the game. It's like people see his human side, and forget he will stomp a hole in most men on planet Earth.
Envy , is in the air …..Anthony will never be a champ
Anthony smith has would never in your life beat Alex . Stop it
Focus on vitor petrino bro and forget about Alex cause petrino is gonna send you to the shadow real 💯
Great interview!
I know he is delusional but I want Canthony to win.
Izzy, Anthony and Jamal are same league. They enjoy embarassing themselves in public.
Both Anthony and Mic Man need to take the criticisms. One need to take in the words, and the other need to take out the words.
It seems like a joke.
And it is: "if it had be me instead of Jan, that night in the city of Salt Lake, in Poatan's first fight in the light heavy weight category, if I hadn't been knocked out before in that same fight, maybe - who knows? - I would have been able to take him down, catch his back and put the hooks on him. Then, it would be very likely that I would finish the fight".
Anthony - Multiple "If"s - Smith.
All that remains is to remind the delusional fighter that the fight does not start with him on his opponent's back, and with the hooks in place.
PS. Multiple "If"s will be destroyed by Petrino in Rio.
Anthony got second hand CTE just watching HIll get Kod
With Izzy’s kickboxing, Jan’s ability to take down Alex, and Jiri’s wild style Anthony gets the RNC on Alex. Then with Jamahal’s delusional excuses he can explain how Alex got out and slept him with the left hook!
Ant Smith lost his lion heart mentality....he curls up, he does not initiate the action, and he back peddles nonstop. Can't/don't take him seriously!
Wear does Anthony smith fit in all this?
He is delusional when is comes to Alex. If he was half as good as he thinks he is he would be champion. He never will be so he hates. He’s never been top ten, never will be. I used to value his insight but now he’s as warped as dc and bisping.
Khalil Roundtree had you doing the salsa in the octoagon kid 😂 imagine what alex would do 2 you
How have the issues with D martin being absolutely flooded on every single one of his interviews not led to some kind of intervention?
Literally, all dude has to do is back up 2-3 inches.
On paper Damien Martin is a great journalist. On the mic…
You guys are gonna flip out when Ankalaev does end up beating Pereira even though everyone knows Ankalaev is a future champion and is the hardest fight for Pereira in the division. This, despite the fact you picked against Pereira every fight in his career. Just give him some credit for the performances and admit you were wrong in those cases and no one will be mad.
Anthony smith has great takes. Unfortunately all of his great takes are the ones that don’t include his takes on himself.
Alex trained Strickland who Smith said surprised him in training and held him down for three rounds.. who Alex beat and then helped train to Beat Izzy… who just technically beat Smith in the gym… let those facts sink in before you call someone mediocre
Really cool to hear positive training sessions with Strickland 🤣
Fighting is about matchups pereira can knockout anyone doesn’t mean he’s gunna knock Anthony out though which is why fighting is so crazy and fun to watch. He had some tough loses recently but he’s got some great wins too against some of the best to do it. If lionheart got a takedown in the first round he can absolutely finish Alex.
I think he regrets not doing an aljo sterling. I don't think he wanted to still be fighting at his age. He takes the dq win in that fight i think he would be retired by now. I get the feeling hes fighting when he dosent really want to but its his only income
Because he is better than you all. Anthony Smith, how long have you been fighting? Zero belt during your entire career. Shut up!
Shame on you Anthony Smith.! You can't even fight for a pay per view. Because you're not good enough to reach this level. It's not going to happen in your lifetime.
Anthony Smith was a Great Challenger but the Sport Evolved Quick, Hungrier Competitors Proved that time and time again.
I’d love to see smith v pereira purely to see what excuses smith comes up with after
Love LionHeart, wish he would walk away and just do media. It’s tough to see him lose, good luck 👍🏾
just give Poatan Smith in Brazil. win win for everyone
Anthony just needs to stop with the Alex talk at this point
