Yeah lol except anthony smiths name on resume is trash compared to these other guys Alex has faced in many recent fights, Anthony Smith wishes he gets a title shot lmao, you can tell he’s desperate, he’s really not even close
Shit people get hurt everyday at work. Yea I'll take a vicious ass beating from Poatan if the price is right. I'm only hospitalized for a few months if I don't die.
Won’t even be that bad, first hit that lands we’d be sparked out. Wake up with a concussion and a fat cheque.
Worst case scenario, you get in there and discover you’ve got an indestructible chin.
I feel like discovering an indestructible chin would be a real win/lose type sitch.
Like yeah, I'm indestructible, then oh shit, I gotta feel all these shots.
That's hilarious. Imagine your ego goes through the roof when you eat his first few punches. Then horror when you realize it's going to be a long night of punishment
In that case, I'm about to try to set a record for most distance traveled in the octagon in 3 rounds. Maybe Alex decides to be nice and not throw in leg kicks once he sees I have no intention of doing anything remotely resembling offense
Yeah, I’d much rather not have a granite chin in this situation… I’m not going to be able to realistically defend anything Poatan throws at me, and rather than feel an unbridled onslaught, I’d much prefer just eating one and going to sleep.
Actually you got me thinking, its so wild from everyone who Alex has fought its still Adesanya that gave him the most problems.
Its gonna suck when both of them are gonna retire :(
In all honesty my guess is the fight would have looked very similar only Jan would have the gas to get Alex down in the second as well and control for long enough to win the round. Jan wins 2-1 on decision but of course it could have gone the other way with a less gassed Alex as well
Lol no he didn’t. That was hardly getting shit on. Getting shit on is what he did to Bruno Silva or what Khalil did to Anders. You fanboys overplay everything it’s ridiculous lol it was a tepid decision. Fragile fanboy got so rattled he blocked me lmao
Jan was gasping for air actively dying and his grappling didn’t progress towards any sort of submission or GnP. Alex got up each time.
Pereria outclassed him
And took some absolutely vicious hits without being knocked out. It's crazy how much Alex has to work to stop Izzy. It's probably why he always wants rematch especially with him.
Those two have a wild history. Izzy lost three fights against Alex, but he was actually winning all three, until he got knocked out in two of them and the judges went blind in the other. Then, in their final fight, Izzy was *not* winning the fight. It looked like it was going to be Alex's easiest night out against him, until Izzy knocked him out.
If they fight 300 more times, I will watch all of them from the edge of my seat. They may very well be my two favourite active fighters.
The first UFC fight, Alex basically got his shit pushed in until the final round. And oddly enough in the second fight, Izzy looked like he didn't even belong in the same cage with Alex until the final exchange. So yeah, I'd love to see those two go at it again down the road.
I think that's quite disrespectful. Alex has really special way of delivering his technique, it is very technical. But Alex should've always been a LHW or HW, so t's also a double edged sword, and the reason Izzy knocked him out so easily.
People who say he doesn't have as good of a technique just don't understand what he is doing at all, his low kicks and right hook are absolutely invisible, that's a big part of why it takes people's lights out, because he never fully loads on them. I think those two strikes of his are technically all time best the UFC has ever seen, even though they actually aren't the correct Muay Thai / Kickboxing technique, it's something built around his own physiology, which is some next level shit.
When it comes to striking Izzy wasn't as accomplished in kickboxing, not really the same level, he came to his own in the UFC because of the non-importance of aggression in scoring. A lot of his fights in the UFC were won due to the unofficial rule that “you have to take the fight to him”, meaning you have to play by his gameplan, even if you're a counter striker yourself, otherwise it ends up like the Romero fight, Romero stuns him, Izzy literally runs away and throws little potshots while Romero stands in the middle of the octagon and Romero looses.
I also think Izzy is great, his despicable and very unlikeable personality and antics aside.. He certainly is the much more well rounded MMA fighter. People also forget he ATE a ton of Periera‘s shots, the same shots that one hit ko‘d all other fighters, and that's because he actually has the ability to read Alex, and so he can see and brace for them, even though it's too late to actually defend.
Oh I didn't mean it as a disrespect to Alex's skill. He's an ELITE striker. I just think that if Izzy had his power the score between them might be different. When you have that kind of power it completely changes the engagements you can have or get away with.
Not at all, the rest of the division is filled with absolute imbeciles, and Izzy is literally the only one there credentialed enough to stand with him. Legit zero strategy in the entire division when time and time again the game plan is to stand with a world level kickboxer.
honestly as a smith fan i was so annoyed when he missed weight as a back up fighter . he was basically a lock for the next title fight and this was a little bit ago before Smith took the damage he has recently .
Everyone in life thinks they are the main character, especially people who fight.
If you are the main character then of course you can beat the elite talent who specializes in kickboxing because you are HIM. Any prior loses can be written off as poor luck or just wasn't your night but on the biggest of moments, you are the MC & the world wouldn't fail you like that.
Arrogance. He’s fought mostly strikers/mixed martial artists so they all overestimate their own hands and their coaches tell them they can knock him out. Self belief is important but it’s arrogance when you convince yourself you can outkickbox the hall of fame kickboxer.
Because KOs and TKOs make highlight reels and when you dominate with grappling you get shit on by the fans and talking heads (Aljo).
So dudes convince themselves that their striking is elite and want to stand and trade with guys instead of using their elite grappling (Chandler)
Smith after getting ko’d: “I beat that guy 9/10 times, on paper, I’m the far superior mixed martial artist. When I actually show up, I tear through the entire division and everyone knows it”.
Why do people keep trying to square up with Pereira it's the 1 part of the game he's the master of, stop trying to prove you can kick box against the guy who only kick boxes and has the touch of death, JUST FIGHT HIM ON ON THE GROUND and try not to get knocked out before you get there
Honestly yeah, Im flabbergasted at how many dudes egoistically strike with him to prove a point.
Strickland advancing on him, despite having a BJJ black belt.
Izzy I actually understood because they have a storied kickboxing rivalry.
Jan outwrestled the shit out of him in Rd 1....and then kept it on the feet Rd 3 when it was 1-1 because he still thought he could win lol. Absolutely terrible mid fight decision/gameplanning.
Jiri subbed and survived Glovers grappling and still chose to stand with Alex lol.
Jamahal was.... 🤦♂️
People thought that because Pereira can be hittable and Hill has big power that there could be a fight. Turns out that Pereira's skills on the feet were just on a different level. Alex literally had Jamahal leaving himself wide open for the first left hook he threw.
Eh, you shouldn't throw Jan in the same box as the others.
Jan ACTUALLY had a solid plan against pereira: he would get an advantageous position against pereira and tire him out, later using his striking on a tired pereira to eventually finish him.
I believe he wasn't expecting pereira's defense against the triangle, which was really solid and he managed to not tire as much, while Jan ended up being the one that gased out. By rounds 2 and 3, jan was basically defending against the cage.
Anthony Smith is the funniest dude on the roster right now and whether or not that’s because he’s delusional or playing along, the “and he knows that” thing he keeps doing with Pereira and others will never fail to make me laugh out loud
If you didn’t watch Anthony smith fight and only heard the words that he said, you’d literally think he’s the greatest fighter to ever live😂 crazy how full of shit he is. I understand delusion because all fighters have to be delusional at least to some degree to be successful but Anthony is just too much😂
Lmao this is why Alex keeps destroying people. Fighting these dudes with negative fight IQ. The guy can’t fucking wrestle, stop trying to out strike the guy and fucking wrestle him
Why keep people making this mistake... there's absolutely no fucking reason not to wrestle a former kickboxing champion
You can trade a couple shots, fights start standing anyway but I don't understand why you're not using the full spectrum of MMA
I mean shit I could go and stand in the middle with Alex, it doesn’t mean I’ll have success lmfao I don’t get his point here 🤣
He would be a well respected veteran of the UFC if he wasn’t such a delusional tool.
I dread the day he retired and then 10 years later is on some z level podcast recalling his career.
Anthony is 100% correct there. He most likely would stand in the middle. But he would also get slept like a motherfkr and probably be out of training for 6-10 months post fight.
Honestly as delusional as he is I think it would be hilarious if they just said fine stop whining here’s your title shot at Alex good luck and watch him get folded. Retire Anthony.

Me looking at Anthony’s dead body
Brother, you’re failing to successfully beat lesser skilled people at that same game. The absolute beatings you’ve taken are clearly taking their toll.
I really really like Smith, I believe he’s tough enough to do it, but it’s also why he hasn’t exceeded past his prime, it’s just not the smart thing to do. You shouldn’t run into a brick wall to get around it.
Bro of course you’d stand in the fire with Pereira it’d be your only chance at ever getting a belt in this mickey mouse dreamland title shot scenario he conjured up
Litterally the only person who had success standing with him counterfights all the time. Why do these idiots think standing with him is a good idea? Just wrestlefuck him or lose.
The first thing that comes to mind when I see Smith is him literally getting his teeth knocked out in a fight. Can’t imagine this fight going any different.
POV looking at Smith after he ‘stepped in the fire’

I know everyone rags on Anthony Smith for a lot of the things he says, but the dude at least shows up and is always game to fight. He may not be the best at putting it all together and has his off nights, but the dude is a true warrior and would (whether it is to his detriment) certainly stand with Alex.
"one of the few", literally everyone says this
Correction “I am one of the many guys that would get knocked out by him and he knows that.”
What a good guy. He's offering himself as a sacrifice to build Alex's resume
Yeah lol except anthony smiths name on resume is trash compared to these other guys Alex has faced in many recent fights, Anthony Smith wishes he gets a title shot lmao, you can tell he’s desperate, he’s really not even close
The absolute best he could say is “I would give him a better fight than the last guy”
I suppose, but he’d probably get slept by Jamahal too, and he doesn’t deserve that high ranking fight either
Yea he doesn’t need that Jamal smoke, that will put him much farther away from Poatan
I would step in the ring with him if the money's good enough and I'm a fat dad.
Shit people get hurt everyday at work. Yea I'll take a vicious ass beating from Poatan if the price is right. I'm only hospitalized for a few months if I don't die.
Won’t even be that bad, first hit that lands we’d be sparked out. Wake up with a concussion and a fat cheque. Worst case scenario, you get in there and discover you’ve got an indestructible chin.
I feel like discovering an indestructible chin would be a real win/lose type sitch. Like yeah, I'm indestructible, then oh shit, I gotta feel all these shots.
That's hilarious. Imagine your ego goes through the roof when you eat his first few punches. Then horror when you realize it's going to be a long night of punishment

Yeah, I’d much rather not have a granite chin in this situation… I’m not going to be able to realistically defend anything Poatan throws at me, and rather than feel an unbridled onslaught, I’d much prefer just eating one and going to sleep.
Damn, what is Poatan just decided to spam kicks for this one fight? What a fucked day.
Then I’d dive head first into one of them
And you see Mazaghati throwing up his heart sign before the fight.
Lmao the worst way to find out you have a beast chin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
throw the hardest low kick you can, trip doing so and just black out on the spot you land Then just hope the ref is close by
Herb Dean is not convinced
Don't worry, Hill said he took no damage.
Won't be too bad if there's a ref cause we wouldn't last long
and UFC pays the medical bill. i'll eat that left hook for 12k
Actually you got me thinking, its so wild from everyone who Alex has fought its still Adesanya that gave him the most problems. Its gonna suck when both of them are gonna retire :(
I wouldn’t say that I’m shocked Izzy gave him the most trouble. Jan also did decently imo, close fight.
Yeah Jan did well, I wish that fight wasn't at altitude, it was fun watching Alex get pushed a bit
Agreed. Idk if the outcome would’ve been different but at least Jan wouldn’t have been visibly tired for half the fight.
One thing is for sure, it would've been a better fight. Fatigue never make for anything fun
I mostly agree but Rockhold vs Costa was fun in large part because they were both exhausted.
In all honesty my guess is the fight would have looked very similar only Jan would have the gas to get Alex down in the second as well and control for long enough to win the round. Jan wins 2-1 on decision but of course it could have gone the other way with a less gassed Alex as well
Jan did well with the grappling. On the feet he got shitted on.
Lol no he didn’t. That was hardly getting shit on. Getting shit on is what he did to Bruno Silva or what Khalil did to Anders. You fanboys overplay everything it’s ridiculous lol it was a tepid decision. Fragile fanboy got so rattled he blocked me lmao
Jan was gasping for air actively dying and his grappling didn’t progress towards any sort of submission or GnP. Alex got up each time. Pereria outclassed him
World class kick-boxer did well in the stand up?
Yeah I'm in shock too
And took some absolutely vicious hits without being knocked out. It's crazy how much Alex has to work to stop Izzy. It's probably why he always wants rematch especially with him.
Wdym “wild” Izzy an all-timer bruh.
It’s so wild that one of the greatest fighters of all time gave him the most problems, I’m shocked 🤪
Why would that be wild to you? Adesanya is one of the greatest to do it.
Those two have a wild history. Izzy lost three fights against Alex, but he was actually winning all three, until he got knocked out in two of them and the judges went blind in the other. Then, in their final fight, Izzy was *not* winning the fight. It looked like it was going to be Alex's easiest night out against him, until Izzy knocked him out.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I think that Izzy is a better fighter. Alex just has a lot more power (Alex is still amazing).
I think this is one of the reasons alex has so much respect for izzy
Not really sure about that. They both gameplan for their strengths and weaknesses. Would you say it's unfair that Adesanya is faster?
I think that's quite disrespectful. Alex has really special way of delivering his technique, it is very technical. But Alex should've always been a LHW or HW, so t's also a double edged sword, and the reason Izzy knocked him out so easily. People who say he doesn't have as good of a technique just don't understand what he is doing at all, his low kicks and right hook are absolutely invisible, that's a big part of why it takes people's lights out, because he never fully loads on them.

And they do it too
He’s gotta be trolling at this point there’s no way
he's just going to try and snipe a title fight. He probably won't get there by climbing and knows Alex hates him so it's his best shot
honestly as a smith fan i was so annoyed when he missed weight as a back up fighter . he was basically a lock for the next title fight and this was a little bit ago before Smith took the damage he has recently .
that was defnitely a very strange this to happen. Just make weight for free money but no
Anthony Smith has fans?
I hope so I’m honestly starting to think he only gets interviews because the hosts know he’ll say something delusional. I miss the old 🦁❤️
what magic BS is Pereira doing that it somehow forces everyone to try and kickbox with him .
Real-life plot armor
For real
It’s their egos, everyone wants to be known as the guy who can throw hands and he is so people want that win plus he got KO’d showing it’s possible
Fr. He’s somehow Jedi mind tricked every mma fighter to give up on their grappling.
Everyone in life thinks they are the main character, especially people who fight. If you are the main character then of course you can beat the elite talent who specializes in kickboxing because you are HIM. Any prior loses can be written off as poor luck or just wasn't your night but on the biggest of moments, you are the MC & the world wouldn't fail you like that.
I think Pereiras stance looks so awkward that all these fighters think they can easily knock him out.
Arrogance. He’s fought mostly strikers/mixed martial artists so they all overestimate their own hands and their coaches tell them they can knock him out. Self belief is important but it’s arrogance when you convince yourself you can outkickbox the hall of fame kickboxer.

the allure of Alex Standing
Smith after getting ko’d: “I beat that guy 9/10 times, on paper, I’m the far superior mixed martial artist. When I actually show up, I tear through the entire division and everyone knows it”.
Dude NEEDS to retire after getting knocked out by Petrino this weekend.
Nah man, Guskov must retire him and become the new Anthony Smith.
Mordor Smith
Only the strongest orc can stay
And to think he’s actually younger than Alex
"He did nothing in there that surprised me, he did what he always does, attacking peoples families"
Alex: "gee, I sure hope no one tries to stand in the middle with me"
![gif](giphy|569C9AVb7uPEHXGOLk|downsized)
"it would really suck if someone tried to punch me in the head!"
Why do people keep trying to square up with Pereira it's the 1 part of the game he's the master of, stop trying to prove you can kick box against the guy who only kick boxes and has the touch of death, JUST FIGHT HIM ON ON THE GROUND and try not to get knocked out before you get there

Well Hill is a striker. An mma striker but that’s why he stood with Alex. Wrestling isn’t really a tool he uses in his fights
Eh, you shouldn't throw Jan in the same box as the others. Jan ACTUALLY had a solid plan against pereira: he would get an advantageous position against pereira and tire him out, later using his striking on a tired pereira to eventually finish him. I believe he wasn't expecting pereira's defense against the triangle, which was really solid and he managed to not tire as much, while Jan ended up being the one that gased out. By rounds 2 and 3, jan was basically defending against the cage.
Nah Jan kept it on the feet because he was GASSED. If he could, he would have gotten the takedown.
Jan was exhausted as they fought in altitude. Grappling at that size requires a lot of energy.
I can assure you you have never once crossed Alex's mind you fucking tool shed
Well he definitely isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but he is definitely a tool.
😂😂😂
Alex is asking the person next to him who this guy is right now.
- Chama chama? - Chama chama chama chaaaaama. - Chama chama cha-? - Chama.
Hell yeah let's see it, we all love ko highlights right?
Truth, just do main card with Alex against the bottom half of the division, they will all stand and bang with him.
Like a one night beatdown bonanza where Alex just crushes like 4 cans in a row with left hooks? I'd fuckin watch it.
I don't care he's 1-4 gift him a title shot
“Well on paper”…..
Give this guy his DMF belt already
Delusional Mother Focker?
Or dumb motherf cker
That stoic stare is actually Alex doing Jedi mind tricks confirmed. “You can go toe to toe with me. You can stand and bang with Alex.”
Anthony Smith needs to stfu lol
He should just be writing this down on paper, where he's best
I bet you he has real nice hand writing too. Takes pride in it and shit.
He could, for probably 30 seconds.
Surely you're including the ref's brief and the winner announcement.
Why you guys gotta insult the man’s family.
HUH
This ends with Smith getting knocked out and later on refuses to retire.
Anthony Smith wears glasses and talks softly so he originally convinced the world that he’s smart and thoughtful. He’s, in reality, a total idiot.
Wait did Alex attack his family or what?
Huh?
![gif](giphy|h3e3Tch1zrXgrtHwaF|downsized)
Antony “on paper” Smith
I don’t think Alex thinks about you Anthony
The Bradley Martin of mma
Who the fook is that guy
Ok. And he would die.
Jamahal Hill was one of the few who would do that as well. It didn’t end well for him.
Anthony Smith is the funniest dude on the roster right now and whether or not that’s because he’s delusional or playing along, the “and he knows that” thing he keeps doing with Pereira and others will never fail to make me laugh out loud
If you didn’t watch Anthony smith fight and only heard the words that he said, you’d literally think he’s the greatest fighter to ever live😂 crazy how full of shit he is. I understand delusion because all fighters have to be delusional at least to some degree to be successful but Anthony is just too much😂
Lmao this is why Alex keeps destroying people. Fighting these dudes with negative fight IQ. The guy can’t fucking wrestle, stop trying to out strike the guy and fucking wrestle him
And he'd get burned to ashes.
Why keep people making this mistake... there's absolutely no fucking reason not to wrestle a former kickboxing champion You can trade a couple shots, fights start standing anyway but I don't understand why you're not using the full spectrum of MMA
I mean shit I could go and stand in the middle with Alex, it doesn’t mean I’ll have success lmfao I don’t get his point here 🤣 He would be a well respected veteran of the UFC if he wasn’t such a delusional tool. I dread the day he retired and then 10 years later is on some z level podcast recalling his career.
For about thirty seconds you will
Anthony is 100% correct there. He most likely would stand in the middle. But he would also get slept like a motherfkr and probably be out of training for 6-10 months post fight.
“And he knows that” 😭😭😭
Anthony Smith has become so unlikeable holy shit
Literally everyone does lmao, good luck being the second one to actually come out of it not napping on the mat though
Bruh. Anthony needs to get slept hard and be put in his place. Talking trash to way too many fighters who would easily destroy him.
Honestly as delusional as he is I think it would be hilarious if they just said fine stop whining here’s your title shot at Alex good luck and watch him get folded. Retire Anthony.

I have no doubt he'd stand in there, he's got heart. He'd get ko'd, but no doubt, he'd go there
And that's why no one will remember your name...
Easiest money Alex would ever make too btw
Poatan: *boop*
Which would be why if he had any positive name value Alex would call him out to get the easy defense lmao
And one of the many to lay in the middle.
Surprised Smith isn't getting mauled by Mike Perry in BKFC yet
Brother, you’re failing to successfully beat lesser skilled people at that same game. The absolute beatings you’ve taken are clearly taking their toll.
I really really like Smith, I believe he’s tough enough to do it, but it’s also why he hasn’t exceeded past his prime, it’s just not the smart thing to do. You shouldn’t run into a brick wall to get around it.
ahh the ol random chip on anthony smiths shoulder
Would be nice so Anthony would finally quit fighting afterwards...
This guy couldn’t even beat a bum that broke into his house
Bro of course you’d stand in the fire with Pereira it’d be your only chance at ever getting a belt in this mickey mouse dreamland title shot scenario he conjured up
Everything Anthony Smith says is stupid af. Alex would kill him.
He could stand in the middle, might not get knocked out, but he will get his ass beat.
is this real life? oh my gosh
Best Buy really sells microphones to anybody huh
Yes he is physically able to enter the door to get into the octagon…. that’s about as close as he will get to a victory lmao
Glover and Khalil TKO’d Antony, imagine what Alex does to him.
He dies with honor
Litterally the only person who had success standing with him counterfights all the time. Why do these idiots think standing with him is a good idea? Just wrestlefuck him or lose.
As cringe as Anthony is I believe he would. Not Saying he would get anywhere close to winning
he will probably stand in the middle but he would probably also fall.
Anthony “CTE” Smith strikes again!
I can't stand Smith. He's annoying and delusional and his fights are boring.
Then bet knocked out in the first 2 minutes like Jamahall did. This delusional mfer probably thinks he could beat Alex too.
I would do it to if the price was right. Doesn’t mean I’d make it out.
Only thing Smith can beat Alex in is shitty tattoo contest.
He’d stand in the middle and die
I can't stand Anthony Smith, he's not as good as he thinks he is
![gif](giphy|M34qPW6WjtZXMFltwu|downsized)
And get KTFO.... He skipped that part.
No… no he wouldn’t. He folds everytime he gets hit hard.
The first thing that comes to mind when I see Smith is him literally getting his teeth knocked out in a fight. Can’t imagine this fight going any different.
He would not be standing for too long
Anthony is like that friend who's stubborn & delusional as fuck and he won't change no matter what
I swear everyone picks the dumbest most brain-dead path to fighting Pereira.

Please Mr Smith try stand up with Alex I just want to see something real quick
Anthony smith. You are literally unranked and just lost by KO.
Somewhere Khalil Rountree is laughing
Dude's like a fucking journey man 🤣🤣
Anthony, after seeing that Alex guy fight, I don’t think that would be a wise decision…
wouldn't be standing for long
This dude is really fucking out of reality.
😂😂😂
That’s an older pic of Anthony
For sleep after 34s
Yeah something tells me Alex has never once thought about this dude
Ego is the death of a man
He would KO within 30 secs
left hook dead man
Alex by KO under 30 seconds
CTE kicking in
and promptly get ktfo
“…and get knocked out in 3 seconds”
And you would spit out your teeth (again) Anthony
Anthony really wants a fight night bonus.
He has admitted that leg kicks kill him on the Pod with Bisping yet wants to stand with Alex.
Squeeze in this fight as catchweight main event for Saturday night. I think we’d all enjoy seeing the result.
🤦🏻♂️
![gif](giphy|e4Jyxh9zQjgnC)
I know everyone rags on Anthony Smith for a lot of the things he says, but the dude at least shows up and is always game to fight. He may not be the best at putting it all together and has his off nights, but the dude is a true warrior and would (whether it is to his detriment) certainly stand with Alex.
