      I love how the reporter asks him why people are so hard on him, and Anthony ends up questioning Alex Pereira saying "does anyone in this room think he's a black belt grappler? Come on🙄". It's funny how he criticizes other fighters but gives himself too much credit😂

    I like Anthony, especially as an analyst. I think he's generally thoughtful and well-spoken. But he also sh*ts on "the fans" quite a bit, which is ridiculous. If you have a problem with certain fans, or certain things that certain fans say, then address it. But lumping all the fans into the same bucket is asinine (and not a good career move). He could easily just say "some fans" and be fine, but he chooses to insult the entire group of people who pay for his very comfortable life.
    Also, as a "fan" myself with a doctorate degree, it's pretty funny hearing someone like Anthony say we're "stupid."

    Used to watch Bym every episode when Gomez was co hosting with bisping.. haven’t watched a single episode since this man became the new co host! He’s the sole reason for me stopping watching Bispings podcast..

    The problem with Anthony is he’s not as good a fighter as he thinks he is, in fact he sucks. His mental game is weak and I can see him losing again in Brazil. I can’t believe he actually asked if he could do the post fight analysis show, why so he could brag about himself if he wins or make up lame excuses when he loses?

    “The fans are stupid. They are!!” Really showed us😂. Lionheart is an ironic nickname for a fighter that ends up in the doggy position every fight.💀Your dream scenarios you put yourself in with your on paper mentality that is what pissed off the fans.

    First round ending for Kitty Cat Heart. So insulting to a 20 year UFC fan. Ant Smith has lost his fighter heart and he has become a philosopher. We don't care either to pay for your fights!! He is so soft from a fans perspective. The problem for me is that Anthony Smith used to be a BEAST!

    Has Anthony Smith tried to be better? Maybe that would help.

    When he beat Gustafson that was his pinnacle form.

    When DC said Alex has holes in his groundgame we agreed to an extent
    We know he is not Bo Nickal but Anderson and Izzy have showed time and time again that if you are good enough not to to get taken down as an elite striker you can go far
    No one expects someone who started training mma at 34 to become GSP all of the sudden
