i know some part anthony deserves to get ridiculed for the stuff he says sometimes ......but the comments lately are way too much in my opinion, i know we should al have thick skin, but he's still a human with pride, he seems like a good dude

[@ezradaiquiri11311]

The problem is, he has far too much pride and gaslights himself. He is his own yes man. He matter of fact lies to the fans about himself. Be a good guy all you want, but lying to the fans over and over again is never good. Faster than jones. Action packed fighter. Doesn't want to become a 50/50 fighter even though that's what he's always been. Accused poor walker of stealing and never even gave him a fair trial. I mean the list goes on, man...

[@imawizard6876]

Why they keep having Anthony Smith analyze fights, I will never understand. Dude would still be in the regionals if the UFC didn't need someone to sacrifice to Jones.

Then your bias, because if I’m a casual for holding him accountable for saying, he’s going to show why he gets paid the big bucks and others need to stop complaining about his pay. Says all light heavyweight are scared then goes out gets embarrassed by a middleweight. He deserves the criticism. 😂
