I guess I understand using that horrible moment as motivation, but still not healthy. I hope Anthony Smith can find peace. He deserves it.
Hope he retires. He doesn't have that dog in him anymore
Yamato, youre a good dude.
he did it for the camera thinking it would be badass and now theres copes going around because everyone's making fun of him for it. if he was just using it as motivation he wouldn't say it out loud multiple times. he'd just think it.
Dude what are you talking about? Nothing about fighting is healthy. It’s a crazy game
It's not healthy at all ; it's one thing to go to that place in the heat of competition, but there are individuals who take this sort of coping mechanism into the real world and find themselves real world problems and consequences.
Chael, there is a term for it. It is called Main Character Syndrome..if he can find an excuse he will ride it like a bucking bronco, when there is no excuse for losing he shells up and goes quiet for attention...he likes the "whats wrong? are you ok? please talk to me?" until he feels like his ego has been fed then he will come out in 4 months and say he has figured it out and he is ready to go on a run. Rinse and Repeat. That is Anthony Smith.
Perfectly said
He definitely tried to will himself mentally but just couldn't
Not only did he recently lose his mom but his PTSD from the break-in is really bad. For those who don't know, Smiths house was broken into and he had to fight a dude on meth who just wouldn't quit fighting back. That's why he accused Johnny of "assaulting his family", Smith was channeling that episode of ptsd. Also a video popped up of him having a jump scare when the mailman put mail thru the mail slot. It was on video podcast with Bisping. Smith needs some therapy, poor guys got too much on his shoulders. ❤
@@VoteRFK yeah it's unfortunate what happened,that's why he saying that stuff to johnny mid fight to try will himself....he needs to retire and work on his mental health...he doesn't have anything left to prove
@@VoteRFK yeah I saw that 1. Definitely needs some stress relief like a nice luxurious all-in holiday, 5 star hotel in the Maldives. Relax, eat good and zone out peacefully and when he is back he needs a win(smashing) for the mental side to overcome the past.
Can't fault him for that
Finally. Feels like most guys are avoiding talking about Anthony Smith. Helwani didn't mention him at all on his show today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Chael
Finally?? Wtf??
Believe you me podcast is where it's at for Anthony Smith
@@Pilkie101 Yeah, but I think they're gonna be understandably late this week
Anthony Smith is a genuine likable guy.
I can't be the only one who tried to exit the vehicle after the video was over, right guys? Chael just keeps it way too real, therefore I forgot where I was for a brief moment in time, and it was beautiful. Thanks Uncle Chael.
Lol😂
Maaaaaane I thought it was just me lol 🤣🤣🤣
Nah that's just you. Engaging? Yes. Enough to make me think I wasn't sitting at my kitchen table drinking coffee and smoking? No. Each to their own though.👍 Have a good one.
The king. The bad guy. The man of the hour too sweet to be sour, what you see is what you get and what you dont is better yet, im the womens pet and the mens regret and if you bet against Chael you made a bad bet, NOW, right here, on the UFC's new home, Fox Sports One, Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall, two hundred and five pounds boy until i met you i didnt know they could stack crap that high.
UNDEFEATED and UNDISPUTED 👑
Bruh, do it the correct way, man of the hour too sweet to be sour, what you see is what you get and what you dont is better yet, im the womens pick and the mens regret and if you bet against Chael you made a bad bet, NOW, right here, on the UFC's new home, Fox Sports One, Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall, two hundred and five pounds boy until i met you i didnt know they could stack crap that high. Yep, typed all that from memory, i know, im a Chael fanboy proud until im down!😊
Women’s pet sounds like 💩
Do better
@@The_Cholo I’m pretty sure he’s said it different a few times
Didn't alot of that actually come from Gino Hernandez on the mic? Man of the hour to sweet to be sour.. was a Gino promo from decades ago...
Smith had a great resurgence in his career where he was able to work his way up to a title fight, but after that performance with Walker, it would probably be wise to hang it up. He's too tough for his own good, the fight he had with Glover where he didn't wanna quit proves that.
I would agree but he’s only 34 and he just took 10 months off because of a leg injury.
Walker is a tough opponent
@Evergreen Only 34 yes, but the dude's had over 50 fights, spanning over 15 years. Add in the fights camp's and that's a lot of miles on the clock! Not to mention he's been KO'd or TKO'd 10 times. If he carries on he'll just become a frequent KO highlight reel on the record of some up and coming fighters. We've seen it happen many times before.
Walker is one of the biggest and baddest physical specimens around and most of us will never fight anything close-
and Anthony survived it somehow.
@@tranch08I wouldn't be so much worried about winding up on someone's highlight reel as I would be the permanent brain damage of being knocked out more times than necessary.
Tito tapped
The best tinted prescription seeing glasses in all of West Linn, Oregon.
Chael just gave the most beautiful eulogy for LionHeart ... undefeated
Lionheart makes all Nebraskans proud… appreciate his grit and determination
Chael practicing his flying knee even while driving 😂💯💯
I think he was thinking of him as the man who actually DID try to attack his family
Rumour has it: Smith once got drunk off johnny walker whisky and verbally abused his family...smith takes it out on the alcohol now 😂
That’s the entire point of this video.
Seeing fans try to connect plotlines they have is hilarious. You legit have no idea if that's related. Prize fighters are a weird breed, and you cant be a CZcams psychologist about this stuff. I've seen people say oh he has PTSD about this thing, just bc they know the story and connect these dots themselves. That's not how PTSD works, for one, also its incredibly convenient for fans to sort of parasocially construct these things as if THEY have the insights. Truth is you have no fukn clue and he couldve been fukn w Walker bc it kinda worked. Johnny was fighting scared to the point Anthony was out on his feet and was too timid to finish it.
@@St.petersEye lol
I will always remember when I was like 14 racing against someone and I see how hard they went, after he told me he pictures his family being killed at the finishing line. I wasn’t gonna beat that
Rocky Marciano retired after defending his HW title against one of the greatest boxers of all time: The Mongoose, Archie Moore. Rocky's physical skills were still in tact. If it wasn't his "prime," it was really close. But Marciano had had enough (and was sick and tired of his manager taking half his income and treating him like personal property). But after a year or so, with his record standing at a perfect 49-0, Marciano planned a comeback, hoping to get to an even 50-0 and perhaps winning back his vacated HW title. So The Rock - known to this day as having the most intensive training and physical fitness in boxing history - went back to work preparing for his comeback. After just a few days he stopped - something that had never occurred to him before. No matter how hard he tried he simply couldn't find the motivation. By this time he was financially secure and had a growing family. Being away from home, running the roads at 5am, denying himself every pleasure, sticking to insane workouts, sparring and hitting his massive 300-lb heavy bag until his hands bled....suddenly held no attraction to him. He could have made a fortune with a comeback. But it wasn't to be. He left training camp with little fanfare and never boxed again.
Exactly Chael. "Lionheart".....
Lionheart Smith is my favorite UFC fighter. He is the epitome of hard work and resurgence. What a warrior
Said nobody ever. Nice try Anthony
He got smashed. Old fake beef got smoked
@@squadabingo9113 whoaaa what a zinger you really got him man congratulations
I heard Anthony talk about With this being one day on one of his podcast shows that sometimes he’ll think in his head that the other person is attacking his family when he’s in the ring to get what he needs to be able to get through that match if you watch back you’ll hear him talk about it within the last year so he started doing it I knew exactly what he was doing he was tired he was hurt and he was trying to bring himself back up
Seeing all these new style uncle chael videos are awesome. Breaking from the mould yet still making it seem like it’s his everyday shoot
Anthony Smith is as tough as any human that ever lived. His toughness has never been in question. I just listened to Return of the Mack all weekend.
i saw his fight with magomed ankalaev.. and i thought magomed was fighting a scared little girl .. no toughness detected there
@@ep073132 never said he was brave. Just tough. There’s a clear difference.
Tough how? Gets his ass kicked every fight?
😂 🕺🏽
@@bappapappa1777 Tough as in doesn't give up like some fighters. Takes a lickin and keeps on.. kickin?
Glad you cleared that up. I was as confused as Walker about the family remarks. I like Smith, so I was a bit worried about him during the fight.
Anthony Smith is a true Warrior, and I wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do. I personally feel like he has more fights in him, but all respect to him if he decides to retire his gloves.
Thanks for sharing . Great video
I've always been a fan of lions heart with that said it might be time to hang it up. He is building a nice career as commentator and pod caster. I wish him nothing but the best.
Why do people seem to think this guy is the second coming of Jesus? He seems like a moron and an awful fighter.
Fan of Anthony ? Lol
He should go into movies. He could be thug number 3.
That the Rock or vin diesel beat up
Great tribute to a legend 🙏
great anecdotes like always, valuable lessons
Very good perspective.
time for anthony to hang em up. that "youre attacking my family" was disturbing, I HOPE that was just motivation, not actual PTSD. either way, a bad sign that he needs to draw on that drama and still cant win. Just one is way worse than the other
Very well said
That was deep
It's always hard to watch my favorite athletes age and face retirement - but there is life after competition - Anthony has a lot of great options and opportunities - Like Chael, I'd much rather they leave at the right time and protect those beautiful brains, stay safe, and enjoy life 🙂
Loving the Versace
Anthony is a rad dude. He needs to either hang it up or do “cool OG fights” like Clay, Miller, and Matt Brown - but in the bigger divisions.
You are bloody, amazing mate,,, on how you can share a story that reflects our day in a lot of us. Chael, please do more of these story's, your sharing gold nuggets 🙏
He said "attack" my family. Not "insult" my family.
That was PTSD or some kind of flash back.
I love Anthony Smith and I understand trying to cover for him, ESPN, and the UFC though.
Chael is so awesome at this. I bet he’s a great coach.
Nailed it
I thought in pre fight press smith didn’t seem checked in. Something was off
Damn, you just described my life - I know what I need to do now. Thx unc
I agree, and its totally on brand for Anthony. He’s a nut.
Uncle Chael making this one for Anthony and letting us all watch. Undisputed greatest.
He was saying that about his family because he has a tattoo on his leg to do with his family and Walker kept attacking that leg 😂
Bro 😮 fr?
@@Gh0st_0723 yeah bro
Great video
That’s exactly what I was thinking too uncle Chael
Damn Chael got that wide leg driving style
I appreciate when Cheal is real, hes a good speaker and knows combat sports, wish he did that more
Well worth waiting for and BEAUTIFULLY SAID Chael Sonnen ❤😂❤
I always tune in for an Anthony Smith fight because Anthony always has to fight two people. He has to fight his opponent for sure but first he has to overcome his own self-doubting bastard that lives in his head. I like to watch that battle. But I knew this fight was going to be tough for Anthony because Walker likes to fight at the same range Anthony does...except Walker is 4 to 5 inches longer. And that was the story of the fight. His coaches should have told him from jump, 'Look, you can't fight that mid-range poke game with this guy.' So Anthony probably thinks he really got tuned up by this guy but one little strategy change and this fight would have broke Anthony's way, big time.
great video chael, love story time
I was having weed flash backs to the waterboy
Love Lion Heart, but damn he wasn't there that night
'they aren't related,just hear me out' 😂😂
Damn that was personal
New Game: Take and anabolic shot every time Chael says “It’s interesting”
I felt like Chael was my dad and we were riding home after my team lost the football game ha
Driving around West Linn and lake Oswego? Looked pretty familiar in the background. Pretty awesome analysis. I'm hoping Anthony can find what he's looking for
Chael is the goat 🐐 of MMA that's all.
Great insight and absolutely correct among all competitors in sport and in life. “Finding your dog” been there
That was beautiful, Big Unc!
Bisping is a legend. Win or lose no explanations. Practically never left his podcast undone even though he was training for his biggest match.
I cant believe how hard he works. Constantly having to wrap up on time because he's doing something else straight after.
Even if its sometimes stuff I'm not a huge fan of like Slap Fighting commentary
Finally a good video again
Uncle Chael, Pope of MMA. Preach!
He's my favorite current fighter - love when a street kid makes it in life. Makes up for all the homies we have to leave to our memories, rather than any sort of quality of life.. However, ya might be right. I myself I have felt my anger fading as my distance from those enemies has been set and time has pass, further more, in said time I have built off of some good things.. hard to be angry/mad when things be good.
It’s weird but suddenly chael is speaking straight and making sense his videos are easy to follow
It's tough being an Anthony Smith fan. I don't know what it is about him, but I'll always support him. Saying that, Chael's right, he should stop.
Love Chael, love Anthony. Need them to guest on each other's podcasts
Only uncle Chael drives a Ford and pull guard at the same time
When uncle Chael says "Go enjoy em" you go enjoy em
I knew when he walked out cool,calm, and collected, it wasn't his night. He has to fight mad like he did against Devin Clark or imo he's just too nice.
Yes. Smith is done. He does not care enough.
I do something similar;
If Im doing a gruelling training session/race (OCR race) - I visualise that my significant other is in a life threatening situation and the only way to save her is to finish the set/run/race.
Works every time.
Any thoughts on the KSI elbow situation Uncle Chael. It is so weird to me, the influencer boxing 🥊 crowd is acting so non chálante about it, and it was such a perfectly thrown elbow from the clinch. I find it hilarious that KSI fans don’t care that it was illegal, and still consider it a W for their guy
Quality video mate, i don’t want to see Anthony go on a bad skid , i like the guy
Please understand the gift of life to be able to listen….
to the mind of Sir Chael P. Sonnen
Deep there at the end - just got out of the military because I was done with it and you’re right, there are other things out there. Go enjoy them
Bingo
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
West linn in the background looks beautiful lol
Now that I’ve seen you drive, more how you have your leg up, I realize you are the coolest man on the planet.
Fight was hard to watch. Walker almost looked merciful. As bad as I wanted to see Smith look good, he didn’t. 100% support him walking away. He’s good in life. Fighting has given him a good life and the fight is gone now.
That’s was a fantastic
Tell Peyton Pritchard to tell his coach to use him damnit
driving, chatting S, leg up, the Legend that is Uncle. Undefeated undisputed
Calf kick will take the fight out of u fast if u don’t check them.
Specially 20 kicks plus
Not a single guy who has taken a bunch of em in a fight has yet been able to deal with em and get the win I don't think, whenever those legs get beaten up you lose your ability to move proficiently which makes you a sitting target essentially
Idk why but I get that chill down my spine feeling when talking about this. If theres ever been a guy who deserves the walk into the sunset career ending, its Anthony! He's such a great person. But as another commenter points out, I think he has a deep darkness in him. It really worries me. He's always been the one counted out. But still gets to the big dance. And for whatever reason. Whether its his fault or just the way things happened, he can't seem to ever mount his flag at the top of the hill of probably what he sees and expects as "greatness". Having come so close but so far so many times in life can do a number on a guy. Plus father time is right on his door as far as his fighting career is concerned.
I do think he can still make a run for a title if everything can line up perfectly. He has the skills, size, (and if he can find it) the killer mentality. And he's got a little bit of pull with the company (even though they've screwed him over before too). But if its hurting him as much as he tries to hide that it isn't, I hope he doesn't keep pushing himself to strive for something that doesn't actually matter. End of the day, this is prize fighting. No one said you have to get a belt. There are olenty fighters who never touched gold but are staples of the sport. So what he never gets the title. Imagine knowing that there are maybe only (at the very most) a hand full of people walking this planet that could actually stop you in physical combat? Chael said it well. He's made his mark. He has nothing to prove. I support that guy wherever he decides to go. He's is greatness!
The same with the Jones fight. He knew he was outmatched and was waiting for it to be over. MMA is too dangerous for those whoe hearts are not entirely in it.
It’s been a few years since Uncle Chael would drive around the neighborhood and talk to us.
With regards to the family thing Anthony mentioned, maybe he was just referring to the low blow?
I forget who said it but the adage, "It's hard to train hard sleeping in silk sheets."
I have to say......I think you have absolutely nailed it, lionheart. Has lost that desire now, I'm not hating, but it's sad to see.........love you Anthony smith, good luck wherever your path takes you .........❤
Anthony is always making shit up. Every time he speaks my eyes roll out of my head
Agreed
Everytime huh, okay so besides this fight give a few examples of him "making shit up" why don't ya..... I'll wait
@@diychad7268 chill out
If I had to take a guess, I'd say Smith is suffering from low T. His physique isn't what it used to be, and even though he's training hard, and is only 34 years old, he looks soft. And having low T and training too hard will only exacerbate the problem. T is also very important when it comes to motivation, which seems to be lacking for him.
He seems like a nice guy. I wish him well.
I like your conclusion.
I read about one of these elite celebrity low T solutions that naturally boosts testoserone. The major ingredient is Quercetin
That’s highly probable. He needs to talk to Chael or Derek.
Testosterone?
How tf does this even have 12 likes? His issue is not low testosterone lmao
@@JimC607 Are you his doctor ?
This fight hurt me. In the soul. Lionheart is a legend. And to see him get beat up, just beat up, sucks.
I need a ChaelGPT
Chael speaking the truth, and respectfully. That said, we finally gonna get to see Sonnen v Bisping ! LFG!! Unhinged Bisping’s coming for you Uncle Chael!!! I got $20 on Uncle C !!!
The already fought…your like 8 years late. That 20 would have went a lot farther too back then
@@Fitzmaie haha I had to look that up. I have zero recollection of that. Well, Sonnen Bisping 2 then ! Cheers 🍻
Chael, after that fight:
“Michael Bisping hit me sooo hard” 😂
I got bisbing
I thought when he said "now youre attacking my family" what he meant was that walker was fighting safe; refusing to engage, and destroying his legs. That Smith wanted a more exciting fight and that Walker was injuring the ligaments in his legs and that both of these things would have negative effects on his career and his future; thus injuring his ability to provide for his family.
Chael Stark
Agree i truly believe it was some type of PTSD from the guy who broke into anthonys house, i think he intentionally tried to summon/tap into it like chael said, but i think it triggered way too many emotions to win a fight. Much like those typical guys saying when they get mad they see red but getting mad wont help you, like chael told tito i dont care if you feel good bad or indifferent, no fight has ever been judged by who had more of a fire lit under their A
I seen a comment on a different video saying it was like waterboy pretending they were talking about his mama for tackling fuel 💀
Chael we all understood he was creating fake beef but good analysis as always 💯 when he said “ your attacking my family . “ I heard your taking everything I worked for and food off my family’s plate “ and it still wasn’t enough to will him
Anthony is a fight commentator, a podcaster, and a part time fighter. He should concentrate on his post fight career.
After watching Anthony "Lionheart" Smith since he started in the UFC, I am 100% convinced that his coaches gave him the nickname Lionheart in hopes of motivating him to have SOME kind of heart during his fights. I've never seen this dude fight with any kind of heart at all. He needs to change his name to Anthony "Lambheart" Smith. That being said, he seems like a really good, nice guy. But, I don't think he should fight anymore.
