@@zerox6xwe all are that's no excuse. Just listen to the whole segment he says bisping reaches out but I didn't respond and then 2 mins later said no one reached out
What a strange explanation...why would Bisping reach out to someone who's been a cast member of his show. It was Anthony's job to show up. Make it make sense...
I think part of it is do you spell sabotages a lot of relationships or just leave them instead of communicating because it's easier than dealing with his feelings or feeling like he's not wanted in the rejection is
@@bryanfrombuffalo7685it’s all part of life and part of being an adult. I like Anthony, I’ve always rooted for him and I think he was a good addition to the pod after Louis left, my opinions aren’t coming from a place of dislike, it’s just a genuine opinion. Personally, I think if Anthony has made commitments, it’s up to him to hold up his end of the deal. Being “overwhelmed” isn’t really the best excuse, especially since Anthony agreed to do something on a certain date. If he was overwhelmed, I think he should’ve turned down the offer, but obviously I’m not in his shoes and I can’t say that it’s always going to be that simple. At the end of the day, it’s bad business and a bad look on Anthony. Obviously that’s only my opinion, and just like the rest of our opinions, what do they even really matter.😂😂
I get that my take my not make sense to everyone, but i think this behavior depends on someone’s personality. I do get where he’s coming from, though i also understand if it seems illogical.
@@tensevenmma I completely understand where he’s coming from, I actually relate to it a fair bit. I struggled with drug addiction for a large portion of my life and now deal with the mental struggles that come with that, and feel like this very regularly as I didn’t have much social interaction outside of family or close friends for maybe 5/6 years. I’m not saying this all to drag Anthony in any way, but being over stimulated isn’t a good excuse for conducting bad business and I’m sure he’s well aware that is the case. As a man, if you make an agreement, you better stick to it, or at least have a valid reason why you couldn’t. Having, what’s essentially a bad day, doesn’t warrant you to just blow off anything on your schedule on a regular basis. Dealing with things like this is all part of the real world. Also, I’m not saying all of this to say that I’m perfect or that I live by what I say religiously, because I’m also not perfect, nor is anyone. I’m sure people have probably said similar about me, but it’s something I’m well aware of and working hard at. Again, my opinion doesn’t really matter, but that is just my opinion on this situation.
Basically Anthony did what Bisping said, which is didn't say anything to Michael after the fight and didn't show up for podcasts. As Michael said, Anthony has done this on numerous occasions, both during training and after losing fights. Michael gives him space and lets him come back when he's ready. This time was no different for Michael, except suddenly Anthony seems to now think it is on Michael to reach out about doing the podcast. It's ridiculous. Anthony is acting like it's a mystery when the podcasts happen. Very unprofessional and weird behavior.
Anthony also said that usually Bisping asks in a groupchat, when people have time to do the next podcast. This time he didn´t. If you only listen to what Bisping said and ignore half of what anthony says, then his explanation becomes strange.
This is like saying... I didn't show up for work on Monday and my boss never tried to get in touch with me so I just never went back. Oh, and I had basically decided to quit anyway. Oh, and the guy I was working for was (allegedly) a personal friend of mine. And I still haven't talked to him weeks after the incident. And I know by not giving him the courtesy of a two week notice I might have put my "friend" and his business into a difficult position. But I have nothing against this guy at all! I am just a bad communicator. lol And classic Egothy Smith at the end... If someone listening is just an "average" guy they can't understand what it feels like to be proud of one's accomplishments or have self-confidence? WTF??
No man respectfully even though it's an uncomfortable conversation you reach out and ask what the plan is. You tell him I see youve been doing well with Felder and I understand if you want to move forward with him. You give him a way out if that's what he's looking for, but you have the conversation there's no "stepping away gracefully" you have the conversation period. It's about respect guys
Bisping said multiple times on the show that he is waiting to hear back from Anthony when he is ready after his grief and come back on the show! He also would of planned for a while about building this new show he could have at the very least said something before it released!
I feel this an excuse for not taking responsibility on Smiths part. He is literally in the opening intro where it says this is believe you me with Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith. His face was literally in the thumbnails for weeks and Mike said on the podcast that they are looking forward to him coming back on the show. Bisping waited weeks and weeks and Felder filled in for Smith many times before his last fight when he just didn’t want to show up for and hour long pod once a week. Anthony clearly wasn’t listen to the show. To expect Bisping to be always messaging him “ Are you going to be on the show?” Is a little much. People shouldn’t have to chase you around when you are the one who agreed to be on the show on a regular basis. I don’t blame Bisping for moving on. He depends on that show to make up some of his income being a retired fighter.
Everything you said was true but come on now, Bisping gets paid probably 250k+ to commentate, he's a boot licker of the UFC and his podcast has an ad every 7 minutes. He's set for life. If something the UFC does is controversial he is always defending them no matter what simply because he's chosen to be a company man before an honest one lest he lose a lifelong commentary job. I respect him for fighting with one eye etc and respect Felder too but the UFC only chooses hires if they KNOW the hire will bend backwards to kiss their ass. He also talks about himself or meaningless banter OVER the fights even if crazy things are unfolding. All of the guys they have on the broadcast treat their job like a weekly or monthly podcast instead of being there to explain technicalities to the viewer etc. Rogan, DC, Bisping, Felder, etc are corporate shills with millionaire smiles. Fuck em all.
This doesnt make total sense. At all. I bet Anthony communicates very well with the UFC as an analyst. He just didnt want to face Bisping after yet another humiliating loss and went on his delusional way. All he did in his explanation was seek sympathy. He seems cowardly when faced with reality. I used to love this guy, until he started talking. The more i heard his speak with his arrogance and delusion and treatment of other fighters, I lost respect for him as a person, and nothing he's said has changed that.
"He just didnt want to face Bisping after yet another humiliating loss and went on his delusional way" is solely made up by you, its just a wild guess nothing more. If both Bipsing and Anthony is fine, why do you feel the need to conjure up this explanation?
@@PerN1660 Jesus Christ man, you give off a red flag vibe of such an annoying dweeeeeeeb...i feel terrible for whoever has/had to take care of you.. JC Take the wheeeel!
Anxiety is something sometimes you don’t realise you have. I’ve walked out of countless jobs in my 20s because I’d feel ill, not turn up for one day & feel guilty. Then never speak to anybody again 🤣🤦🏼♀️ & I can’t explain why!!! I don’t think he ever forgot he had the podcast, he’s masking something
Smith to Din Thomas: "I told Reyes to hit me, so I can feel something other than grief" Smith to Ariel's question, did you tell Reyes to hit you, so you can feel something other than grief?: "I don't remember saying that"
I think it's a shame. Mike probably didn't want to be pushing Anthony too much bearing in mind what he had been through added to a loss which clearly marked the beginning of the end of his fighting career. Probably just wanted to give him the space to do what he needed to do. Why Smith would assume he was no longer working on the pod I don't know?
Anthony needs mental help. Seriously. Not like Sean Strickland but he’s hurting in a different way. He doesn’t seem to understand things. Plus CTE is real.
Agree it's hard to accept it for me more than k.o. loss es it was 2 totall car crash and motocikla accidents in 3months followed by 2months of migrens headackes after 5 years of metadone it's blatter.

My older brother is a terrible communicator, doesn't make him a bad person, is just the way some people are built so i understand this dude very much so
He needs to explain why he started his own podcast and didn't bother to tell the BYM crew. That had to take several weeks, if not months of planning. I liked Anthony and I am sad for the BYM crew. They probably feel totally betrayed by someone they treated like family. I fell for his "good guy" persona, just like they did. As an anxious avoider myself. I never let my friends down...and if I'm too much of a mess to keep a commitment, I'm honest with them, because I respect them and its not all about me.
You sound fake as hell! And I hate liars like you. You are clearly not an anxious avoider at all, because I am. I have procrastination problems, and have let my friends down many times. But my real friends love my for who I am, and do not abandon me because of it-they at least try to understand the situation. I have always had a job, but I have always barely made attendance. So before you judge people, you need to chill out and take a look in the mirror yourself. Because if you have never had these problems, then you are not an anxious avoider, you are a self-entitled liar and BULLSHTTTER.
Michael bisping was a champion who has a successful podcast. Anthony was very lucky be allowed the time of day with such a fighter/podcast. He is aimless with no structure just like with his his fighting career. He needs a baby sitter apparently.
@tensevenmma don't be trying to stir up some conflict here bro 🤣 it's his eyes , he looks a bit off - or maybe it's just my eyes not seeing properly - old age 🤣
I don't understand. Hell. Not for me to understand. He could have texted, called em, emailed em. Anything. Don't leave Bisping hanging terrible communicator or not. You have time to create yer own content on yer own podcast but you can't reach out to Bisping and be like not working fir me Mike ima do my own thing. Sorry bro. Or whatever the hell. Ah well. Just ridiculous AF how he handled the whole thing. Lol
I’m very similar to Anthony. I’m a combat vet and a single father, and I deal with a lot of things going on simultaneously. I will go periods of time where I communicate really well with the people I care about, and then I disappear for a bit. It isn’t ever anything personal. People can’t really understand it if they don’t have that personality, but it’s kind of a way of protecting ourselves because when we get overwhelmed, we shut down. And we know we can’t afford to shut down completely, so we isolate in order to prevent doing it. Anthony is a dude who wears his heart on his sleeve, is emotional and takes things really personally. I’m the same kinda way. We also tend to believe that we are burdensome to other people, so we try to do everything on our own. It sucks that it can impact relationships in this kinda way, but people really do need to understand that it isn’t about them. It isn’t personal, it’s just the way we deal. I hope Anthony is able to work his way through the stuff he has going on and get back a relatively normal baseline. Being someone who goes through it every now and then, I get it. Dude is a good person with solid intentions, but being bad at communicating can be a real mother.
Lmao maybe in his younger days but now doesn't even have the heart to reach out to his close friend and ask what the situation is. Instead jumping to insane conclusions
I am with you on this, I can totally see this being the way it played out. As far as who should have done what, I think it hinges on the accuracy of Bisping saying that they had a routine of leaving him alone for a couple of weeks after a loss. That is believable as well given Anthony’s apparent issues with communication. I personally can empathize a lot with Anthony as I have really bad communication issues. People eventually just get used to letting you reach out first, and then this exact same miscommunication happens. That being said, once he was convinced that Bisping had moved on (accurate or not), he should have reached out to at least confirm where they stood lol
Ppl can have bad communication issues but I bet Anthony communicates very well with the UFC as an analyst. Anthony is full of excuses with Bisping bc he plain wasn't man enough to have a conversation with Bisping.
@ I tend to also be a grammar freak (for instance, putting the full stop inside the quotation marks at the end of a sentence and not outside), but in RUclips comment sections it doesn’t seem worth the extra effort while typing with my phone. I think the primary purpose here is to communicate effectively, and the medium of RUclips is not so demanding, similar to other less formal contexts. If I were writing in any medium where completely correct grammar was expected, I would not even use a term such as “lol.” If I’m somewhere such shorthand is appropriate, I care much less about formalism, let alone caring about what anyone else does. To your question, there is nothing “wrong” with putting a period, but given the environment and the fact it was not serving to indicate separation of two sentences, it’s functionality and necessity were severely diminished.
@@frasert8779 Yeah, but I'm genuinely asking why "lol"? Unless you were going to type out "haha" a period/full stop is shorter than typing out "lol" Is it the edgy kid's way of punctuating a sentence? (lol)
It's a whole mis communication on both sides!! Lisping probably didn't want to bother Smith as he had just lost a fight and wasn't a great performance so you can understand that. As well as Smith probably didn't want to ask about the podcast as he says it's Bispings show and yeah he probably should have asked Smiths Timeline as well as Smith probably should have asked what his situation was too. I can see where there would be no animosity on either side as they have great chemistry with one another when it comes to podcasting and Smith is still actively fighting.
I enjoyed hearing your take and how you can relate to it. I can as well. It seems like a situation where there was some distance between Bisping and Anthony to give him some time. But then both parties didn't take the initiative to reach out and then both sides are wondering what the other is thinking. But I do think Anthony should have realized they were giving him time and space, but then let him know he was ok to talk when he was ready.
Yes i get that, but sometimes (speaking from personal experience) when you feel like you perhaps are no longer wanted , it’s really tough to reach out.
@@tensevenmma I hear you there too man. Sometimes you feel like you already know the answers so you don't bother to go through with the rest. But at the same time, I think you owe it to yourself and to the other parties to get clarity, because the narrative in your mind might not be completely how the other parties see things.
You have a pattern that is very different from most creators. You have a big heart and always try to see the human side of people's mistakes. Keep it up! However I disagree with your take on Anthony Smith, he was unprofessional to leave, and unprofessional by trying to blame it on Bisping for not asking him to come do *their* show. Classic give up and cope. Similar to how he curls up into a ball in fights and then says that on paper he wins. Anthony Smith being Anthony Smith!
Typical Anthony Smith delusion. 'Me getting destroyed in 2 rounds by Reyes showed that he's not that good...and maybe neither am I'. To say things like that, to get mauled only to spin it round to deflate Reyes' win over him, makes it so much easier to not sympathise with him like I used to.
Regardless, of whether there’s more to it or not, this’s how all public figures should handle a split publicly. Too often they get in their feelings, and say stuff that could tarnish the other’s reputation. Both of these guys enjoy working in the media, and if they want opportunities with the big networks, their reputation matters.
Always liked Anthony and was one of the rare people giving him the benefit of the doubt throughout this entire ordeal, preferring to reserve judgement until he made a statement. But he completely lost me with his explanation. He handled this in the same cringey way that fighters do when they lose fights and they're like "im not gonna make excuses but... [proceeds to give a buncha excuses while being completely oblivious to the irony]"
He’s an anxious avoidant personality type that comes across as a bad communicator, but it’s not communication as an attribute that he needs to improve. As you can clearly see, he is an excellent communicator, articulating his thoughts and feelings honestly and sincerely. The issue here is, in my humble opinion, a lack of communication regarding circumstances that affects someone else, which as an anxious avoidant, he chooses to avoid or dismiss or rationalise as to why he didn’t or couldn’t just give someone a heads up that he couldn’t do the show because he’s in another country, but it actually stems from internal feeling of not wanting to disappoint or let down another person so he avoids the communication. I suspect it stems from unhealed childhood trauma regarding inconsistent attention or a lack of consistent love from one or both parents. As a kid he must have developed this coping method as a way to feel self esteem when he was made to feel like he was disappointing someone when he wasn’t able to always do what his parent(s) wanted from at all times. This is not his fault and goes to show how profound the impact childhood trauma has on us, often carrying well into our adult lives and in most cases, for the rest of our lives.
Good analysis but it is his responsibility. I think a big part of being an emotionally healthy adult is realizing where out parents failed us and working on it. Anthony smith just comes across as delusional
@ You are 100% right and I completely agree. I hope my comment didn’t come across as though I was excusing the dynamic I was describing or shifting blame onto parents when it comes to the effects of unhealed trauma. When we are children the responsibility is absolutely on the parents but once a child grows into an adult, that responsibility shifts to the individual. Although many struggle with this transition and some run from it completely falling deeper into a victim mindset, it is in fact how we learn about ourselves and grow as individuals and forms an important part of this whole experience.
It's possible that Michael and anyone behind him felt Anthony was not in the right space to push the show forward, rather than sit there as a 200 lb wet blanket, and only time will make that better.So they COULD have called him and blown his phone up, but maybe one or two calls is fine too.
Because they aren’t working a 9-5 together. They don’t shoot the Podcast on the same date and time every week. Then when he’s in training camp or after a fight that will change more plus Bisping has his crazy schedule. How does it not make sense?
I feel like as adults now it’s all out yall get on the phone and talk rather than making videos addressing situation. Call each other and address each other directly but that’s my opinion
Its just sad because , we love anthony , we know he has terrible anxiety .. anthony and bisping had a good dynamic , id love to see them work together again in the future
@@bigG135 i used to reslly hate on anthony smith , i thpught he was fake , but this guy is really hobest and humble , and i respect that , he could have taken the easy way out in that jon jones fight , give him a chance , he has a good story
While admitting to be a bad communicator is the right to do, it shouldn't be an excuse. If you know you're a bad communicator, then work on that and try to get better.
Why wouldn't Anthony want to create his own channel and podcast when he's close to retirement and not always be working for someone else.. Now was the perfect time if hit sooner while he's still in the ufc and his Channel will get advertisement when people talk about him when he has upcoming fights. Mike has a big brash type a personality and I'm sure he's not easy to talk to about certain things. They just have different personalities
He could have at least texted Bisping saying something. Plus even if he started his own channel, it doesn't prevent him from appearing on Bisping's show, plus Bisping showing up on his new channel would have brought over at least some fans and add more in consequent months. Just saying. He handled it poorly. But doesn't make him a villain. Just poorly handled situation.
Your take makes perfect sense. Also Smith's mental health is so bad that he literally wanted to get beat to feel something different than emotional pain. Dude was or is going through some deep depression and is just trying to survive. Depression often brings isolation and will just make your bad tendencies even worse while also making you think people are better off without you. I hope fans will understand and not make things even more worse for him.
@tensevenmma To each their own, I like fighters that are probably not liked by other people.That's what makes the world spin but let's be honest he's a mediocre fighter and a mediocre commentator at best
Smith talking absolute waffle. You lost your fight you looked in a terrible way, Mike messaged you saying condolences and then gave you space to get over your hardship he didn’t want to pester you at a low time and he needs a co host so then you just leave and never say anything! 🤯
What Anthony does with his life is nobody's dam business. Especially weak little haters on the internet. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.
One thing i like about Anthony He’s Honest we all feel like that in some time in life that’s one of his challenge he dealing with but his acknowledgment said it all i believe him..
AND...folks just waiting to pounce and talk shit about Smith. He's not my favorite fighter, but I feel like if it was Dricus or say Alex, they would be siding against Bisping.
Its so wierd that Bisping says there was a miscommunication but we´re good, Anthony says there was a miscommunication but we´re good. But the fans are super pissed of at Anthony, and want what from him? It bugs me when I listen to the "one more fight" podcast he did. He has had a ROUGH f´ing run. If the meassure for a good training camp is "I would just like a camp where noone I care about dies" give the guy a f´ing break yeah.
Smith is full of CTE... odd responses, inability to deal with daily interactions and responds with emotional outbursts. Full on short-term memory loss. And his body....he looked like a marshmallow like many look when the brain damage is bad. And if you think you can see eye to eye with him you need mental help.
I will never put you in my podcast. Not interested, don't know, understand, scents of humor and ......!!! Sorry Anthony Smith bad on podcast like in fight!!! Mr Michael Bisping was too nice about u A.S. , must say thanks M.Bisping. All the best from Cratia 🙏👊✨✌️🇭🇷
Dude is just selfish and only thinks about himself. Also probably didn't want to face mike after another embarrassing loss so he didn't have to possibly hear Michael give him a reality check
Kind of feel like he's passive aggressive he's probably done this this whole entire life just leave relationships itself sacrifice self-sabotaging not really self-serving I don't know I find people that don't communicate usually don't have a high priority or value on their own feelings
I can understand from Anthony’s POV, you’ve always had a group text message of when to show up on the pod and then all of a sudden those same texts never come anymore, with the previous notion of him feeling Bisping was upset at him combined with the group text messages stopping I would also get the same inkling that the working relationship was starting to diminish
Man the guy had just lost a long time friend/coach/team mate and was clearly grieving. He had just lost a fight that was clearly the beginning of the end of his career. I think it was pretty decent of Bisping to just give him some space to do what he needed to do without stressing about some podcast that would have still been there for him 2, 4 or even 6 weeks later if he wanted. Could Mike have reached out as a friend and told him to take whatever time he needed to get himself together. Absolutely. But men will be men. Shame, wish you the best Lionheart, good luck with the next steps of your journey.
Before I watch this, anthony has a chance to win me over.But I doubt it's gonna happen. Initially, I didn't care for Smith on the show, but I quickly became a fan of his In the podcast studio and then in the ring. I get that after his loss. He wanted to take a couple weeks off, but literally, the day before bisbing announced his departure I was wondering to myself, if smith was ever going to come back.. Then I find out that he started his own show without talking to, believe you, me at all, and I just can't support that. I personally, i'm going to boycott the show. Leaving the show high and dry like that was just a shit move. And I can't support that, and I won't. If there's anything I find out here that makes me change my mind, I'll edit this, but i'm pretty sure that that's how I feel about it.And that's what i'm going to do.
@tensevenmma I'm still undecided.. I'm leaning towards a boycot, if there's anything pushing me towards giving a listen it's bisbings laxadaisical take.. I get Smith saying he was waiting for a text, but it was him who expressed to Bisbing that he needed to take some time away after his loss... ok. I just decided. The ball was in Smith's court and he went home with the ball.. I was a fan, largely due to his appearances on bym.. loosing is part of the sport.. and I as a fan wanted to hear from him and be there for him. If he fights again and looses is he gonna do the same thing with his own show? Idk but it doesn't matter. I can't support his behavior of abandoning his obligations that he made because he was emo after a loss. He abandoned the show and myself as a fan. I can't suport that behavior. No Ill will, he can start his own thing over there but I'm not taking part in it. I'm over here where he left us.

He stood Mike up on a gig in England when he was doing his Tales from the Octagon tour so Mike decided to not have him on the podcast anymore (the podcast is still on Louis' network though)
@@karlricardo4088 it was more than that, it was something to do with being allowed into venues without proof of vax. luis had a fake vax card and it wasnt valid in england
If Smith is a (self confessed) terrible communicator, then he's in the wrong job!! Commentating, podcasts, media.....basic requirement is being able to communicate, surely? Also, to not inform Bisping he was starting his own separate podcast is undeniably shady.
What’s the point in hypothesising about a subject that you did not witness or was not part of. Such a waste of time. But there’s space on the internet for wasting time
Bisping didn't want smith on the podcast and it was clear as day and smith felt that. Wasnt even supportive in his last few fights and knew he was going to lose.
Anthony smith and accountability do not fit in a sentence together. Man that was hard to listen to, we all understand you were going through something very difficult which is why mike mostly left you to deal with things and had felder to stand in while you were figuring yourself out. To then go 'oh that must mean im not wanted' is pretty crazy do you expect bisping to just have no guests or anything until one day you do or dont decide to come back? 😂 Cmon man. You literally said bisping reached out but you ignored only to then say no one reached out. Even if you had discussed a while back about your own podcast at least say you're officially leaving and going to start your own thing. Preferably with a little notice, like you would with anything else in life? But no you just start a random podcast on your own and act shocked that people are confused/ hurt. Not only bisping but your own supporters
so anthony goes through life like a child, not how a grown man acts. communication problem, lmfao. i wouldnt chase anyone down to be on my show either. thats just some man shit. anthony needs to grow up. excuse after excuse.

What a strange explanation...why would Bisping reach out to someone who's been a cast member of his show. It was Anthony's job to show up. Make it make sense...
I think part of it is do you spell sabotages a lot of relationships or just leave them instead of communicating because it's easier than dealing with his feelings or feeling like he's not wanted in the rejection is
@@bryanfrombuffalo7685it’s all part of life and part of being an adult. I like Anthony, I’ve always rooted for him and I think he was a good addition to the pod after Louis left, my opinions aren’t coming from a place of dislike, it’s just a genuine opinion. Personally, I think if Anthony has made commitments, it’s up to him to hold up his end of the deal. Being “overwhelmed” isn’t really the best excuse, especially since Anthony agreed to do something on a certain date. If he was overwhelmed, I think he should’ve turned down the offer, but obviously I’m not in his shoes and I can’t say that it’s always going to be that simple. At the end of the day, it’s bad business and a bad look on Anthony. Obviously that’s only my opinion, and just like the rest of our opinions, what do they even really matter.😂😂
I get that my take my not make sense to everyone, but i think this behavior depends on someone’s personality. I do get where he’s coming from, though i also understand if it seems illogical.
@@tensevenmma I completely understand where he’s coming from, I actually relate to it a fair bit. I struggled with drug addiction for a large portion of my life and now deal with the mental struggles that come with that, and feel like this very regularly as I didn’t have much social interaction outside of family or close friends for maybe 5/6 years. I’m not saying this all to drag Anthony in any way, but being over stimulated isn’t a good excuse for conducting bad business and I’m sure he’s well aware that is the case. As a man, if you make an agreement, you better stick to it, or at least have a valid reason why you couldn’t. Having, what’s essentially a bad day, doesn’t warrant you to just blow off anything on your schedule on a regular basis. Dealing with things like this is all part of the real world. Also, I’m not saying all of this to say that I’m perfect or that I live by what I say religiously, because I’m also not perfect, nor is anyone. I’m sure people have probably said similar about me, but it’s something I’m well aware of and working hard at. Again, my opinion doesn’t really matter, but that is just my opinion on this situation.
I call Anthony Cap...he a regular,Anthony knows he doesn't need bisping to reach out to him,he just doesn't give af anymore,Excuses excuse excuses.😊
On Paper, Anthony Smith had a great explanation for No Showing and ghosting his job.
Basically Anthony did what Bisping said, which is didn't say anything to Michael after the fight and didn't show up for podcasts. As Michael said, Anthony has done this on numerous occasions, both during training and after losing fights. Michael gives him space and lets him come back when he's ready. This time was no different for Michael, except suddenly Anthony seems to now think it is on Michael to reach out about doing the podcast. It's ridiculous. Anthony is acting like it's a mystery when the podcasts happen. Very unprofessional and weird behavior.
Anthony also said that usually Bisping asks in a groupchat, when people have time to do the next podcast. This time he didn´t. If you only listen to what Bisping said and ignore half of what anthony says, then his explanation becomes strange.
This is like saying... I didn't show up for work on Monday and my boss never tried to get in touch with me so I just never went back. Oh, and I had basically decided to quit anyway. Oh, and the guy I was working for was (allegedly) a personal friend of mine. And I still haven't talked to him weeks after the incident. And I know by not giving him the courtesy of a two week notice I might have put my "friend" and his business into a difficult position. But I have nothing against this guy at all! I am just a bad communicator. lol And classic Egothy Smith at the end... If someone listening is just an "average" guy they can't understand what it feels like to be proud of one's accomplishments or have self-confidence? WTF??
Delusionalthy Smith
You nailed it right to the point,exactly. Nobody could say it better than how you just did.
💯
Yup
Something triggered him and without addressing it he took his tampon out and ran away
Was Anthony paid to appear on the show? If so, he has a responsibility to reach out. Quiet quitting is still quitting.
I was wondering that myself
So if he wasn’t being paid does that now make it ok to ghost bisping
No man respectfully even though it's an uncomfortable conversation you reach out and ask what the plan is. You tell him I see youve been doing well with Felder and I understand if you want to move forward with him. You give him a way out if that's what he's looking for, but you have the conversation there's no "stepping away gracefully" you have the conversation period. It's about respect guys
You’re 100% right, I’m not saying it was correct, but it made sense in that he may have been overwhelmed, and that’s why it happened that way.
Bisping said multiple times on the show that he is waiting to hear back from Anthony when he is ready after his grief and come back on the show!
He also would of planned for a while about building this new show he could have at the very least said something before it released!
I feel this an excuse for not taking responsibility on Smiths part. He is literally in the opening intro where it says this is believe you me with Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith. His face was literally in the thumbnails for weeks and Mike said on the podcast that they are looking forward to him coming back on the show. Bisping waited weeks and weeks and Felder filled in for Smith many times before his last fight when he just didn’t want to show up for and hour long pod once a week. Anthony clearly wasn’t listen to the show. To expect Bisping to be always messaging him “ Are you going to be on the show?” Is a little much. People shouldn’t have to chase you around when you are the one who agreed to be on the show on a regular basis. I don’t blame Bisping for moving on. He depends on that show to make up some of his income being a retired fighter.
Everything you said was true but come on now, Bisping gets paid probably 250k+ to commentate, he's a boot licker of the UFC and his podcast has an ad every 7 minutes. He's set for life. If something the UFC does is controversial he is always defending them no matter what simply because he's chosen to be a company man before an honest one lest he lose a lifelong commentary job. I respect him for fighting with one eye etc and respect Felder too but the UFC only chooses hires if they KNOW the hire will bend backwards to kiss their ass. He also talks about himself or meaningless banter OVER the fights even if crazy things are unfolding. All of the guys they have on the broadcast treat their job like a weekly or monthly podcast instead of being there to explain technicalities to the viewer etc. Rogan, DC, Bisping, Felder, etc are corporate shills with millionaire smiles. Fuck em all.
@ all the commentators you listed do color no play by play. They are not there to breakdown technique. They are there to fill silence.
It’s called selfishness
This doesnt make total sense. At all. I bet Anthony communicates very well with the UFC as an analyst. He just didnt want to face Bisping after yet another humiliating loss and went on his delusional way. All he did in his explanation was seek sympathy. He seems cowardly when faced with reality. I used to love this guy, until he started talking. The more i heard his speak with his arrogance and delusion and treatment of other fighters, I lost respect for him as a person, and nothing he's said has changed that.
I can see your perspective, but i can also see him being overwhelmed by anxiety. I’m not saying it’s right, but i can understand
"He just didnt want to face Bisping after yet another humiliating loss and went on his delusional way" is solely made up by you, its just a wild guess nothing more. If both Bipsing and Anthony is fine, why do you feel the need to conjure up this explanation?
@@PerN1660 Jesus Christ man, you give off a red flag vibe of such an annoying dweeeeeeeb...i feel terrible for whoever has/had to take care of you.. JC Take the wheeeel!
Anxiety is something sometimes you don’t realise you have. I’ve walked out of countless jobs in my 20s because I’d feel ill, not turn up for one day & feel guilty. Then never speak to anybody again 🤣🤦🏼♀️ & I can’t explain why!!! I don’t think he ever forgot he had the podcast, he’s masking something
Bisping doesn’t want to fail and knows he has to work hard, Smith seems to embrace that slope.
Smith to Din Thomas: "I told Reyes to hit me, so I can feel something other than grief"
Smith to Ariel's question, did you tell Reyes to hit you, so you can feel something other than grief?: "I don't remember saying that"
I think it's a shame. Mike probably didn't want to be pushing Anthony too much bearing in mind what he had been through added to a loss which clearly marked the beginning of the end of his fighting career. Probably just wanted to give him the space to do what he needed to do. Why Smith would assume he was no longer working on the pod I don't know?
Anthony needs mental help. Seriously. Not like Sean Strickland but he’s hurting in a different way. He doesn’t seem to understand things. Plus CTE is real.
Agree it's hard to accept it for me more than k.o. loss es it was 2 totall car crash and motocikla accidents in 3months followed by 2months of migrens headackes after 5 years of metadone it's blatter.

Good luck in getting well brother. Methadone is no joke. Have addiction issues myself.. best of luck from Ireland
My older brother is a terrible communicator, doesn't make him a bad person, is just the way some people are built so i understand this dude very much so
Exactly
He needs to explain why he started his own podcast and didn't bother to tell the BYM crew. That had to take several weeks, if not months of planning.
I liked Anthony and I am sad for the BYM crew. They probably feel totally betrayed by someone they treated like family. I fell for his "good guy" persona, just like they did.
As an anxious avoider myself. I never let my friends down...and if I'm too much of a mess to keep a commitment, I'm honest with them, because I respect them and its not all about me.
Hopefully they will reconcile after this
You sound fake as hell! And I hate liars like you. You are clearly not an anxious avoider at all, because I am. I have procrastination problems, and have let my friends down many times. But my real friends love my for who I am, and do not abandon me because of it-they at least try to understand the situation. I have always had a job, but I have always barely made attendance. So before you judge people, you need to chill out and take a look in the mirror yourself. Because if you have never had these problems, then you are not an anxious avoider, you are a self-entitled liar and BULLSHTTTER.
Michael bisping was a champion who has a successful podcast. Anthony was very lucky be allowed the time of day with such a fighter/podcast. He is aimless with no structure just like with his his fighting career. He needs a baby sitter apparently.
Not to mention he’s also boring as hell, Bisping carried him
Victim mentality. Bisping sent 2 txts n u didn't respond. U expected a 3rd txt? Be a man and respond back. Stop the excuses
Shiz
Smith one of the most overated fighters and minds in the game and without a doubt he gave himself that nickname!!
Man
He's not overrated when most people hate him
Anthony is gonna be the new Braindum Schaub.
Or maybe they both start a podcast together 😂
Anthony looks broken. Hope he can find some peace within himself 🏴✌️🇺🇲
I thought he looked fine personally, but i do hope he can find peace as well
@tensevenmma don't be trying to stir up some conflict here bro 🤣 it's his eyes , he looks a bit off - or maybe it's just my eyes not seeing properly - old age 🤣
I don't understand. Hell. Not for me to understand. He could have texted, called em, emailed em. Anything. Don't leave Bisping hanging terrible communicator or not. You have time to create yer own content on yer own podcast but you can't reach out to Bisping and be like not working fir me Mike ima do my own thing. Sorry bro. Or whatever the hell. Ah well. Just ridiculous AF how he handled the whole thing. Lol
I thought people might have this reaction
I’m very similar to Anthony. I’m a combat vet and a single father, and I deal with a lot of things going on simultaneously. I will go periods of time where I communicate really well with the people I care about, and then I disappear for a bit. It isn’t ever anything personal.
People can’t really understand it if they don’t have that personality, but it’s kind of a way of protecting ourselves because when we get overwhelmed, we shut down. And we know we can’t afford to shut down completely, so we isolate in order to prevent doing it.
Anthony is a dude who wears his heart on his sleeve, is emotional and takes things really personally. I’m the same kinda way. We also tend to believe that we are burdensome to other people, so we try to do everything on our own. It sucks that it can impact relationships in this kinda way, but people really do need to understand that it isn’t about them. It isn’t personal, it’s just the way we deal.
I hope Anthony is able to work his way through the stuff he has going on and get back a relatively normal baseline. Being someone who goes through it every now and then, I get it. Dude is a good person with solid intentions, but being bad at communicating can be a real mother.
I use to do this same thing. But I knew what I was doing was rude, inconsiderate and wrong
What a weak way to conduct yourself .
Your not Anthony dude...
@@livefree1030 There’s nothing inherently “rude”, “inconsiderate” or “wrong” about it. People deal with things in different ways 🤷🏻♂️
@@abemartinez9623 Almost as weak as talking tough from behind internet anonymity 😉
It's just funny Anthony Smith is called "Lion Heart"
Lmao maybe in his younger days but now doesn't even have the heart to reach out to his close friend and ask what the situation is. Instead jumping to insane conclusions
Anthony "cat heart" Smith
@@LoveHeartSoulUnitedcat's are badass though 😂
This dude is such a lame. If I work at a place Friday I have the weekend off I don't expect my boss to get ahold of me Monday I show up to work wtf
I am with you on this, I can totally see this being the way it played out.
As far as who should have done what, I think it hinges on the accuracy of Bisping saying that they had a routine of leaving him alone for a couple of weeks after a loss. That is believable as well given Anthony’s apparent issues with communication.
I personally can empathize a lot with Anthony as I have really bad communication issues. People eventually just get used to letting you reach out first, and then this exact same miscommunication happens.
That being said, once he was convinced that Bisping had moved on (accurate or not), he should have reached out to at least confirm where they stood lol
Ppl can have bad communication issues but I bet Anthony communicates very well with the UFC as an analyst. Anthony is full of excuses with Bisping bc he plain wasn't man enough to have a conversation with Bisping.
Thank you
Agree with everything you said apart from the "lol". What's wrong with a period/full stop at the end of a sentence? (lol)
@ I tend to also be a grammar freak (for instance, putting the full stop inside the quotation marks at the end of a sentence and not outside), but in RUclips comment sections it doesn’t seem worth the extra effort while typing with my phone. I think the primary purpose here is to communicate effectively, and the medium of RUclips is not so demanding, similar to other less formal contexts.
If I were writing in any medium where completely correct grammar was expected, I would not even use a term such as “lol.” If I’m somewhere such shorthand is appropriate, I care much less about formalism, let alone caring about what anyone else does.
To your question, there is nothing “wrong” with putting a period, but given the environment and the fact it was not serving to indicate separation of two sentences, it’s functionality and necessity were severely diminished.
@@frasert8779 Yeah, but I'm genuinely asking why "lol"? Unless you were going to type out "haha" a period/full stop is shorter than typing out "lol"
Is it the edgy kid's way of punctuating a sentence? (lol)
It's a whole mis communication on both sides!! Lisping probably didn't want to bother Smith as he had just lost a fight and wasn't a great performance so you can understand that. As well as Smith probably didn't want to ask about the podcast as he says it's Bispings show and yeah he probably should have asked Smiths Timeline as well as Smith probably should have asked what his situation was too. I can see where there would be no animosity on either side as they have great chemistry with one another when it comes to podcasting and Smith is still actively fighting.
That’s how i see it too
Anthony the rat heart smith
Geez
Spoken like a true keyboard warrior.
He could do whatever he wanted to to you and theres absolutely nothing you could do about it.
😂😂😂😂😂@@michaeltucker106
You are angrier at him than Bisping... really?
I enjoyed hearing your take and how you can relate to it. I can as well. It seems like a situation where there was some distance between Bisping and Anthony to give him some time. But then both parties didn't take the initiative to reach out and then both sides are wondering what the other is thinking. But I do think Anthony should have realized they were giving him time and space, but then let him know he was ok to talk when he was ready.
Yes i get that, but sometimes (speaking from personal experience) when you feel like you perhaps are no longer wanted , it’s really tough to reach out.
@@tensevenmma I hear you there too man. Sometimes you feel like you already know the answers so you don't bother to go through with the rest. But at the same time, I think you owe it to yourself and to the other parties to get clarity, because the narrative in your mind might not be completely how the other parties see things.
You have a pattern that is very different from most creators. You have a big heart and always try to see the human side of people's mistakes. Keep it up! However I disagree with your take on Anthony Smith, he was unprofessional to leave, and unprofessional by trying to blame it on Bisping for not asking him to come do *their* show. Classic give up and cope. Similar to how he curls up into a ball in fights and then says that on paper he wins. Anthony Smith being Anthony Smith!
Typical Anthony Smith delusion. 'Me getting destroyed in 2 rounds by Reyes showed that he's not that good...and maybe neither am I'. To say things like that, to get mauled only to spin it round to deflate Reyes' win over him, makes it so much easier to not sympathise with him like I used to.
Completely agree from start to finish
Thank you for the kind words, appreciate it. And thanks for sharing your perspective as well.
Smith is washed up. Go away
I do the same thing and it’s often to my detriment. It’s an f’ed up way of thinking but it makes sense while thinking it.
Yep
Regardless, of whether there’s more to it or not, this’s how all public figures should handle a split publicly. Too often they get in their feelings, and say stuff that could tarnish the other’s reputation. Both of these guys enjoy working in the media, and if they want opportunities with the big networks, their reputation matters.
Well said
I think he has CTE. Just my opinion. I hope he gets his life figured out
bisping or smith?
Always liked Anthony and was one of the rare people giving him the benefit of the doubt throughout this entire ordeal, preferring to reserve judgement until he made a statement. But he completely lost me with his explanation. He handled this in the same cringey way that fighters do when they lose fights and they're like "im not gonna make excuses but... [proceeds to give a buncha excuses while being completely oblivious to the irony]"
I like him too. Perhaps this was not the best way to handle it, but i think his explanation was legit
He’s an anxious avoidant personality type that comes across as a bad communicator, but it’s not communication as an attribute that he needs to improve. As you can clearly see, he is an excellent communicator, articulating his thoughts and feelings honestly and sincerely. The issue here is, in my humble opinion, a lack of communication regarding circumstances that affects someone else, which as an anxious avoidant, he chooses to avoid or dismiss or rationalise as to why he didn’t or couldn’t just give someone a heads up that he couldn’t do the show because he’s in another country, but it actually stems from internal feeling of not wanting to disappoint or let down another person so he avoids the communication. I suspect it stems from unhealed childhood trauma regarding inconsistent attention or a lack of consistent love from one or both parents. As a kid he must have developed this coping method as a way to feel self esteem when he was made to feel like he was disappointing someone when he wasn’t able to always do what his parent(s) wanted from at all times. This is not his fault and goes to show how profound the impact childhood trauma has on us, often carrying well into our adult lives and in most cases, for the rest of our lives.
Good analysis but it is his responsibility. I think a big part of being an emotionally healthy adult is realizing where out parents failed us and working on it. Anthony smith just comes across as delusional
@ You are 100% right and I completely agree. I hope my comment didn’t come across as though I was excusing the dynamic I was describing or shifting blame onto parents when it comes to the effects of unhealed trauma. When we are children the responsibility is absolutely on the parents but once a child grows into an adult, that responsibility shifts to the individual. Although many struggle with this transition and some run from it completely falling deeper into a victim mindset, it is in fact how we learn about ourselves and grow as individuals and forms an important part of this whole experience.
Smith should picked up phone like adult
It's possible that Michael and anyone behind him felt Anthony was not in the right space to push the show forward, rather than sit there as a 200 lb wet blanket, and only time will make that better.So they COULD have called him and blown his phone up, but maybe one or two calls is fine too.
Yes that’s possible
I believe what michael said
Yep
Because they aren’t working a 9-5 together. They don’t shoot the Podcast on the same date and time every week. Then when he’s in training camp or after a fight that will change more plus Bisping has his crazy schedule. How does it not make sense?
That’s true
I feel like as adults now it’s all out yall get on the phone and talk rather than making videos addressing situation. Call each other and address each other directly but that’s my opinion
They’re fighters for a reason I guess
Ur doing great numbers man keep up the grind
Thank you!!
Anthony Smith needs to start a podcast with Ken Rideout.
I thought I clicked on UFC news not Dr freaking Phil
I love Dr Phil! Legend!
Like how honest you are. At 10:28, I wouldn't consider your way of thinking as "paranoid" but rather "neurotic."
Fair point
Its just sad because , we love anthony , we know he has terrible anxiety .. anthony and bisping had a good dynamic , id love to see them work together again in the future
We love Antony 😂😂😂 you speak for yourself
Agreed
@@bigG135 i used to reslly hate on anthony smith , i thpught he was fake , but this guy is really hobest and humble , and i respect that , he could have taken the easy way out in that jon jones fight , give him a chance , he has a good story
Smiths about 18 months away from doing a Chris Benoit
While admitting to be a bad communicator is the right to do, it shouldn't be an excuse. If you know you're a bad communicator, then work on that and try to get better.
His signature move is the turtle position lol
Shiz
Makes sense to me too. Been through similar thoughts.
Exactly
If these two men haven’t spoken on a personal level. Then this is weird. Grow up, pick up the phone and call each other.
I don’t disagree with you, i just think i can also see why Anthony perhaps felt uncomfortable doing so.
I agreed with your take and believe it was a bit true. I also agree with both their sides. It was probably a combo of things.
Thank you Alicia, appreciate it!
Valid points
Thank you
I kinda feel for Anthony, he seems fairly geniune. He's had a rough run.
Anthony’s a good dude
You knew this was gonna be the statement even if something did happen
Perhaps
Smith knew EXACTLY what he was doing! what a crybaby! now he doesn't like the backlash he's getting so he's making shit up.
Damn smith is getting a lot of negative comments
Why wouldn't Anthony want to create his own channel and podcast when he's close to retirement and not always be working for someone else.. Now was the perfect time if hit sooner while he's still in the ufc and his Channel will get advertisement when people talk about him when he has upcoming fights. Mike has a big brash type a personality and I'm sure he's not easy to talk to about certain things. They just have different personalities
He could have at least texted Bisping saying something. Plus even if he started his own channel, it doesn't prevent him from appearing on Bisping's show, plus Bisping showing up on his new channel would have brought over at least some fans and add more in consequent months. Just saying. He handled it poorly. But doesn't make him a villain. Just poorly handled situation.
Your take makes perfect sense. Also Smith's mental health is so bad that he literally wanted to get beat to feel something different than emotional pain. Dude was or is going through some deep depression and is just trying to survive. Depression often brings isolation and will just make your bad tendencies even worse while also making you think people are better off without you. I hope fans will understand and not make things even more worse for him.
Thank you, appreciate it
First of all, nobody cares about Anthony Smith.His show is gonna be horrible and a flop.And he's gonna wish he never let go of mike's coat tails
I like smith
@tensevenmma To each their own, I like fighters that are probably not liked by other people.That's what makes the world spin but let's be honest he's a mediocre fighter and a mediocre commentator at best
Definitely not a good way to start your own podcast. Alienate your fans and the person who put you on lol
Smith talking absolute waffle. You lost your fight you looked in a terrible way, Mike messaged you saying condolences and then gave you space to get over your hardship he didn’t want to pester you at a low time and he needs a co host so then you just leave and never say anything! 🤯
Shiz so you don’t find his explanation legit?
What Anthony does with his life is nobody's dam business. Especially weak little haters on the internet. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.
Thank you for the positive message
One thing i like about Anthony He’s Honest we all feel like that in some time in life that’s one of his challenge he dealing with but his acknowledgment said it all i believe him..
Smith is delusional.
AND...folks just waiting to pounce and talk shit about Smith. He's not my favorite fighter, but I feel like if it was Dricus or say Alex, they would be siding against Bisping.
Yeah why do you think people seem to gang up on smith so much?
For me personally, every time I see him fight lately, he gets beat up bad. That puts a damper on being a fan.
Its so wierd that Bisping says there was a miscommunication but we´re good, Anthony says there was a miscommunication but we´re good. But the fans are super pissed of at Anthony, and want what from him? It bugs me when I listen to the "one more fight" podcast he did. He has had a ROUGH f´ing run. If the meassure for a good training camp is "I would just like a camp where noone I care about dies" give the guy a f´ing break yeah.
Unbelievable. He fights in a cage for a living and has no idea how to act like a man.
Was Anthony being financially compensated by BYM?
I was wondering that myself
NICE 👍
Thank you Roby!
Smith is full of CTE... odd responses, inability to deal with daily interactions and responds with emotional outbursts. Full on short-term memory loss. And his body....he looked like a marshmallow like many look when the brain damage is bad.
And if you think you can see eye to eye with him you need mental help.
Anthony playing victim still aint hit up Bisping after Bisping hit him up... Smith be lying ive seen clipsmof Ariel catching him in lies
I know what clip youre referring to, i think it may also be that he forgot after the fact.
Smith just looks "adopted"
What do you mean?
I will never put you in my podcast. Not interested, don't know, understand, scents of humor and ......!!! Sorry Anthony Smith bad on podcast like in fight!!! Mr Michael Bisping was too nice about u A.S. , must say thanks M.Bisping. All the best from Cratia 🙏👊✨✌️🇭🇷
What’s up, we love Croatia!
@@tensevenmma thanks for asking, everything it's nice. Summer coming vau vau...but Plazibat . Antonio still angered. All the best from Cratia 🙏👊✨✌️🇭🇷
Bro that's Anthony's story today, give it a few days it will be a different story and a few days after a different story lol
Dude is just selfish and only thinks about himself. Also probably didn't want to face mike after another embarrassing loss so he didn't have to possibly hear Michael give him a reality check
I dunno, i think the explanation he gave made sense.
Thank You .. we all want to figure these things out. But just dont have the time to comb through hours of podcasts .. Thank You well done
You’re welcome!!
So Bisping sent Anthony 2 messages that went unreplied? If that's so, yes Anthony ghosted Bisping and is 100% at fault. Not cool
I get your perspective
Kind of feel like he's passive aggressive he's probably done this this whole entire life just leave relationships itself sacrifice self-sabotaging not really self-serving I don't know I find people that don't communicate usually don't have a high priority or value on their own feelings
I don’t know if this indicates passive aggressiveness to me
I can understand from Anthony’s POV, you’ve always had a group text message of when to show up on the pod and then all of a sudden those same texts never come anymore, with the previous notion of him feeling Bisping was upset at him combined with the group text messages stopping I would also get the same inkling that the working relationship was starting to diminish
Except that it was he who stopped communication first. Just sounds like excuses and making himself the victim like he always does, imo.
Yep
Man the guy had just lost a long time friend/coach/team mate and was clearly grieving. He had just lost a fight that was clearly the beginning of the end of his career. I think it was pretty decent of Bisping to just give him some space to do what he needed to do without stressing about some podcast that would have still been there for him 2, 4 or even 6 weeks later if he wanted. Could Mike have reached out as a friend and told him to take whatever time he needed to get himself together. Absolutely. But men will be men. Shame, wish you the best Lionheart, good luck with the next steps of your journey.
This was actually really good content

Nobody cares about this smith guy anyway, bisping is the man 💪
Bisping is a legend!
Before I watch this, anthony has a chance to win me over.But I doubt it's gonna happen. Initially, I didn't care for Smith on the show, but I quickly became a fan of his In the podcast studio and then in the ring. I get that after his loss. He wanted to take a couple weeks off, but literally, the day before bisbing announced his departure I was wondering to myself, if smith was ever going to come back.. Then I find out that he started his own show without talking to, believe you, me at all, and I just can't support that. I personally, i'm going to boycott the show. Leaving the show high and dry like that was just a shit move. And I can't support that, and I won't. If there's anything I find out here that makes me change my mind, I'll edit this, but i'm pretty sure that that's how I feel about it.And that's what i'm going to do.
Did anything change your mind?
@tensevenmma I'm still undecided.. I'm leaning towards a boycot, if there's anything pushing me towards giving a listen it's bisbings laxadaisical take.. I get Smith saying he was waiting for a text, but it was him who expressed to Bisbing that he needed to take some time away after his loss... ok. I just decided. The ball was in Smith's court and he went home with the ball.. I was a fan, largely due to his appearances on bym.. loosing is part of the sport.. and I as a fan wanted to hear from him and be there for him. If he fights again and looses is he gonna do the same thing with his own show? Idk but it doesn't matter. I can't support his behavior of abandoning his obligations that he made because he was emo after a loss. He abandoned the show and myself as a fan. I can't suport that behavior. No Ill will, he can start his own thing over there but I'm not taking part in it. I'm over here where he left us.

This is just smith’s way of creating a little buzz for the title shot he’s sure coming round the corner. Just you watch
Could be a tactic. That’s what Jesse said, but I’m not sure
Why do you even care! Smith is a bozo and Bisping has one eye?
Dang that’s cold
forget anthony, we still havent even got the full truth from luis leaving
He stood Mike up on a gig in England when he was doing his Tales from the Octagon tour so Mike decided to not have him on the podcast anymore (the podcast is still on Louis' network though)
@@karlricardo4088 it was more than that, it was something to do with being allowed into venues without proof of vax. luis had a fake vax card and it wasnt valid in england
We suffer more in imagination
Exactly
If Smith is a (self confessed) terrible communicator, then he's in the wrong job!! Commentating, podcasts, media.....basic requirement is being able to communicate, surely?
Also, to not inform Bisping he was starting his own separate podcast is undeniably shady.
He should just come out and say paul is better. better for the show i stepped down.
How long is this podcast before he Ghosted her🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣
Damn you guys have no mercy
He said he's bad at communication so why start your own pod cast if you can't communicate with people he's boring retire from mma and pod casting
Multiple comments have said this
Bisping never liked Anthony. His takes suck and he is overall annoying
I think he did like him
Anthony Smith is the type of guy....
No lion heart there …

What’s the point in hypothesising about a subject that you did not witness or was not part of.
Such a waste of time.
But there’s space on the internet for wasting time
That poor woman 😂😂
She’s awesome!
@ she’s the lionheart for putting up with this baby!
Smith to me has always had a screw loose !! Period !!!
Smith has always been odd.
That was a massive waste of time...
Shiz, that’s mean
Bisping didn't want smith on the podcast and it was clear as day and smith felt that. Wasnt even supportive in his last few fights and knew he was going to lose.
Anthony smith and accountability do not fit in a sentence together. Man that was hard to listen to, we all understand you were going through something very difficult which is why mike mostly left you to deal with things and had felder to stand in while you were figuring yourself out. To then go 'oh that must mean im not wanted' is pretty crazy do you expect bisping to just have no guests or anything until one day you do or dont decide to come back? 😂 Cmon man. You literally said bisping reached out but you ignored only to then say no one reached out. Even if you had discussed a while back about your own podcast at least say you're officially leaving and going to start your own thing. Preferably with a little notice, like you would with anything else in life? But no you just start a random podcast on your own and act shocked that people are confused/ hurt. Not only bisping but your own supporters
so anthony goes through life like a child, not how a grown man acts. communication problem, lmfao. i wouldnt chase anyone down to be on my show either. thats just some man shit. anthony needs to grow up. excuse after excuse.
