‘I like the idea, I like the premises’. Anthony spotted the instigation miles away. 10-9 round for Anthony defensive guard.
Yep.
@bLaCk It was blatant instigation mate. Ariel is very well known for subtly doing it, has been forever.
He was referring to it being demeaning. That they were all the losers/victims of Jones. He wanted to know if Anthony found it insulting.
Ariel is giving him an angle or an ‘in’ if you will to talk down on the ufc/espn setting it up.
@@tassivemits13 lol I can't believe someone would think Ariel isn't an instigator...he's the worst in MMA media by far...nobody even compares to him. Guy is a damn weasel...but he has good guests.
What timestsmp
Was it bad? Sounded like a decent segment that yu could only really for someone like Jon.
all the hate for Smith is funny to me, he has wins over Gustafsson, Shogun, Oezdemir, Span, Rashad Evans etc. has a lot of losses but he has like 50+ total fights on his pro record
He's a very nice dude in life too
He talked a lot of smack and missed weight. He felt like he was overlooked. Missing title weight when your trying to prove a point is a bad look. A lot of people would kill for one title shot, let alone a second.
And lets be fair even the biggest lion heart fan can’t give him a honest shot at winning against anybody in the top 3.
@@BabyPants420 he does tend to say negative things about his opponents after fights, I agree with that. but if he was actually as sick as he said then it makes sense why he missed weight. he was a backup fighter and if he wasn’t a backup I assume they would’ve tried to push the fight back. I wanna see him rematch Magomed though, he looked competitive in that fight until he tried to grapple stupidly
@@Meme-mw7nq him apparently being sick and missing weight doesnt excuse him getting his ass beat and immediately discrediting his opponents afterwards lol the dude said Jon Jones isnt that good
He said that Jon "wasn't that good" after Jon destroyed him.
It's crazy to me how composed and intelligent and present in the moment Jon seemed, despite 3 years off 🤯
Because you started watching in 2020
He seemed like he forgot how to punch then went for a take down
@@theboogeyman9813 you listened to Jones interview.
@@ymkyourmoneyking8157 Or watched the fight.
@@agi2160 that he won
Ariel "Your a company man & you do as your told" hahaha 😆
The nose didnt hold back 🤣🤣🤣
I though Smith would pushed back a little at that comment!
@@danielparker6368 I did to lol
Anthony “If you take all his skills away he’s not that good” smith
That’s such a strange statement, I mean if you take all his skills he’s no longer a fighter, is he? 🫤
That has to be the dumbest argument ever. That's like saying if Michael Jordan couldn't shoot, dunk, defend, jump, or athletic then he wouldn't be good at basketball. Anthony with one of the worst take possibly of all time
Did he ever say that or did he say "attributes" as in his size and shape/reach etc
@@uchuva_ watch the video I quoted exactly what he said lol
He then goes on to say that he thinks Jon Jones is the best fighter of all time. This isn’t that crazy of a take if you listen to his reasoning.
Rakić is definitely the best lhw in UFC. He will prove that.
Always loved Anthony Smith.Jon Jones owes him big time for not taking that DQ
No he doesnt lol. Jon was beating his ass. If he took the DQ he would have been roasted like aljo. And then he would have had to fight jon again which he absolutely wanted none 😂
@RT
Absolutely, it was a lose lose for him one way or another. If Glover knocked his teeth out, Jon would've decapitated him 😂
Why? It wld have been rematched, Jon wld have won.
ant wld have an extra L and everyone wld forget he was ever champ. Aljo is different bc he can and did beat Yan
@@RT-qz5ci Sure but he would have gotten a decent pay increase. Win bonus + guaranteed ppv for the rematch (since he would be champ)
@@RT-qz5ci I think it has more to do with Smith doesn't want to give up. He's proved time after time he's there for a fight. Don't talk silly.
Love Anthony’s knowledge throughout this whole conversation. I’ll have to tune into his podcast, haven’t given it a chance yet.
Dude it’s good, check out the stipe interview it’s a good listen.
Anthony Smith has such a great voice. The man could have a career in audiobooks.
🤣 damn, your throat must hurt.
@@iFaFo_0 😭😭😭😂
Anthony Nobody is like me - I move different Smith
Valentina vs the Flyweights prove to you just how difficult it was to be in DJ’s shoes. He DIDNT have Shevchenko’s advanced Skillset when he became flyweight champ, developed and surpassed that level over time and separated himself from the pack in a major way going on to defend 11 times. Valentina started losing steam from TD #6
Always blows my mind how much disrespect DJ still gets.
Ive never liked Anthony Smith but i have to give credit where its due. He is REALLY good on the mic now. Such a natural talent and i'd love to hear a 2 hour weekly podcast between Ariel and Smith with guests.
He does the Believe You Me podcast with Bisping every week, though I would also love for him to talk with Ariel consistently
Yeah he's really good eh, easy to listen to.
Oh my a fellow witness. Lord Spaniard be with You brother.
@@glinomarauder2995 It piss
Yeah he is not a fighter anymore, all he does is talk
5:04 Ariel asks if that was Jon being dominant or Ciryl not showing up. Anthony basically says Jon was always going to do that. Then Ariel basically asks the same question again in different words by asking if it was because the moment got to Ciryl. Wouldn't that fall under him "not showing up"? 🤔
Ariel is salty against Jon
He said it’s possible…. Anything is possible. I think that was well said by Anthony. Ariel trying to get a different answer and Anthony saying sure Ariel , whatever u say, anything is possible….
I also believe Rakic is the LHW currently! That guy is a monster. Can’t wait for his return!
Lost to Jan Blachowicz. So he needs atleast 2 wins
@@RRP1992 got injured,didn’t really lost if you look at it that way..
@@007ninja88 Jan checked each of the leg kicks that Rakic threw in the first round. So that did the damage. Which is why Rakic resorted to wrestling and won the 2nd round. It was 1-1 and Rakic injured his leg in Rd3. So it was a fair win for Jan IMO.
@nindza84 the ufc have never treated injuries in a fight like this as far as I am aware
Rakic is my neighbor, i saw him few week ago with his dad, they were carrying furniture into a truck, i think he mightve moved out from here finally, good for him
But it was crazy to see a ufc star carrying his couch with his dad, i thought at that point people pay a couple hundreds for stuff like that to get done lol but he is humble and saves his money wisely
I really dont live in a wealthy area in vienna, more like a ghetto with mostly immigrants, and that he stayed that long here even having made hundreds of thousands in the ufc really shows a lot of disciplince in his money spending habbits
Guy is very disciplined
really digging Smith in the role of an mma personality. Always liked him as a fighter but he has a good perspective and can articulate well on the mic
i like that anthony doesnt sing praises of every new fighter to come but gives critical opinion.. its refreshing in mma recency bias is such an issue
Anthony smith was ill cutting weight and still made an appearance on BYM in the heated blanket THE MANS A F*****G pro 💪
Me and the wife haven’t misses an ep of power slap It’s hard not to watch Ant a got your back brotha
It was actually refreshing to see that Anthony is a legit Slap fight fan and not just a company man lmaoo
legit fan yet can't name even one random contestant
He's chasing Danas praise to get a title shot. That's all it is
Such a great dude. Humble, well spoken and a great analyst
He is NOT a great analyst. He's a PoS.
@@iFaFo_0 amen he is the redditer of the UFC
What? Anthony Smith is not humble nor anything special as an analyst. What world are you living in?
That's brutal... I couldn't get out of bed with a sinus infection. Can't imagine performing anything while sick like that
I like how you gave a shout out to BYM podcast at the beginning. You have the biggest platform and will give them a boost for sure. It’s my favorite . Thanks Ariel.
Love the show.
Ariel for sure lets you know when he does a ''favor''
Anthony Smith is the man, so humble, respectful, always has entertaining matches, highly underrated in the octagon 👏👏👏
Anthony " Yeah he whooped my ass pretty handily, but goddammit that man is beatable and only i know how to do !!! " Smith
It is so funny watching/listing to Hawannie sprinkling in the smack talk in the soup, then feeding it to them
Great breakdown on the arm triangle for Bo
The scariest thing is on paper Smith folds Jones like Origami
Lol great sarcasm
Nailed it
Fax..
😂😂😂
What does this even mean
All respect for Anthony Smith....💪...
One of my favourite active fighter at the moment, great guy
That ending hahaha
Absurd to me you wouldn't wanna watch film on a guy you are gonna fight. Not a surprise Jon, GSP, DJ, Khabib all studied a tremendous amount.
I'm laughing so hard about the slap fight stuff omg
IMO one thing people not saying about Jon is how well he puts everything together.. on here they saying Stipe’s wrestling can nullify Jon’s but Stipe has lost to DC before… I think Stipe has never seen someone who has is good at everything and that if he don’t get that Jon is switching up his gameplan, Stipe will get blitzed
stipe can sleep jon 1 punch
ur acting like dc wrestled his way to victory he knocked stipe out after a vicious eye poke in the clinch
Regarding Alexa and Valentina… I never understand immediate rematches… Outside of a controversial decision why not have the former champ have 1 fight and then if they win build up the rematch. Alexa can fight Blanchfield or someone else…
One of few who went to the Big Dance and danced with the G.O.A.T..
.. Warriors the UFC lightweight Brass...
Heelwani with a buzzer beating Bapa stab in there😂
Great guy, medum 😂
I actually feel like Ariel is spot on to wonder about the moment swallowing up Ciryl Gane. He looked outclassed and overmatched. Honestly looked like a boy and Jon was a man. Super disappointing performance from Ciryl imo. It felt like Gane had zero urgency in the fight too, was such a letdown. Gane may have been intimidated by Jon I think, and Jon's fight IQ is probably double what Ciryl's is
It's similar to the Tyson effect where the fighters got scared and couldn't do what they trained for.
Actually a valid reason to miss weight. I think we're all against missing weight but it helps to hear the other side.
I'm against missing weight when it's someone who intentionally fights in a smaller division than they actually should be in just to be weight bullies smh you know those guys who damn near end up dead from cutting so much weight and massively dehydrating themselves
@@Psycho_Logical_631 everyone intentionally fights in a lower weight except Colby
One name : Vasilii "Dumpling" Kamotskii 37:40
'Great guy, mettum!' lol
On paper… I don’t even need to make weight I beat all these guys anyway 😂
Always tune in for lionheart interview
I get everyone has their preference but I personally love the events at the apex
This guy is a ready made future commentator, great analysis and articulated perfectly. 👌
Anthony "Jon Jones isnt that good" Smith
Anthony smith is the best one to have in the show you should do this weekly
Or after every ppv
Need time stamps when a 5 min interview is dragged out to an hour
great guy, actually met em"
I need to say Smith is becoming bigger and bigger professional
Ariel tying to steal another slice of pie... slap fighting. Hands off Ariel!
Broooo, Ariel is sooo passive aggressive lol. Like if you remember Smith after Jon smashed his ribs in lol
🔥your job is to be the best. That's why Jon Jones is the best. You should know your enemy.🔥
I would love this guy to be champion so bad he is such a good guy.
"You're a company guy"... sniiiide
Anthony is literally transforming into a goblin, mans face is melting.
Anthony is a little odd at times when he claims about himself but he really is a good talker for podcast and commentating
The way he finished jeff neal to me it look like he just wanted to finish him with his hands an once he seen it probably was not going to happen he got his neck an finished him so easy
Antony Average Smith
I think Shavkat is awesome but if he fights with his chin out and his hands down like he did last fight Masvadal would have a good chance of koing his ass and Burns would damn sure knock him out.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE LIONHEART
Smith and Walker is a great fight
I love Anthony Smith lol
Dude couldn’t name one slap box guy for someone being a “huge fan”
Smith should also watch the film. He might see something his coaches don't.
Jon is going to out speed stipe Jon’s a genius. If stipe stays heavy Jon’s going to sit around 240 . And just gas stipe with strikes….mark my wordsssss lol
Stipe will train with Anthony so Jones is done
@@WernerRachtman Anthony will teach him how to move different.
@@WernerRachtman After all, Jons not that good
Smith would NEVER have not been there. Weight or not. He is an honest man. Even when he got kneed in the head, he did not quit. If anyone doesn't beleive him, they are silly.
Just a table of people Jon beat up😂😂 they had to know what they were doing lol
Jon well finish him
Jon want be finish him faster or worst then Francis too prove a point
According to Nikel, he has nothing in common with Smith or anyone else who said it was a nut shot.., plus nikel thinks his weird finish was correct
Anthony Smith saying it’s his coaches job to watch film…/it’s your job to download the movements of the person you’re fighting. It’s clearly a mental thing where he doesn’t want to see his opponent.
Anthony talks so much about other fighters and what they should or shouldn't do and then goes and misses weight and multiple losses.
This is the best caption you could come up with, New York Rick?
“Ya know man, on paper I make weight for this fight ten out of ten times.”
Anthony Smith VS. monster mma fighters in the UFC - holds his own, kicks ass.
Anthony Smith VS. an untrained 160 pound teenage home intruder with actual life or death on the line - barely holds on to a draw
🤷♂️
2:06 “your a company guy, your gonna do what your told” smh
To admit with a straight face that he doesnt watch film.. shocking. I cant believe there are professional fighters that dont watch film and say "thats not my job" lol wtf man.. Insane
He isn't the only one.
Smith explained the reason why he doesn't watch anymore ( only what is handed to him )
👍✊
Probably why he got his teeth knocked out against Glover!😂
*Stipe needs to lose some size.* He bulked up to 255lbs because he thought he would be fighting Francis. Stipe needs the extra endurance too smother Jones offence and make him work as a heavyweight, smacking the body, and fatiguing him.
Cody is just the new gate
Keep if that division
I wanna see khamzat vs jones
Grasso's career as a champion will be the same as Juliana Pena championship run.
Anthony destroyed that first door🤣🤣 ripped it to shreds
21:26 personally I don’t think Cody ever finds finds himself in a championship fight or even in the top 5. He fought a guy that is way lower in the rankings and who didn’t do much until the 3rd and almost knocked Cody out. Cody chin is gone and against dudes like chito, yan, O’Malley, sandhagen or aljo he won’t be able to compete. It’s sad but Cody’s chin was gone before he even got to the ufc and his ego got him into brawls which completely took his chin.
Lol doesn’t have enough time left alive to catch up to Jon jones. Epic analogy
🧐🧐 30:22 Did Anthony Smith insinuate that he missed weight and still got paid? What's that about? I wonder if Jamahal Hill got 30% of his purse?
Then Anthony Smith says he watches slap league, watches bkfc, watches ufc but doesn't watch film on his opponents. C' mon..
That’s not Gane “not showing up”
It’s Jones shutting him down. That’s what Jon does, he nullifies his opponents abilities. Whatever his opponent does best is what Jon snuffs out.
"Jon 50-45's Francis without a scratch on his face" well done Smith, I'm sure you'll get a raise after this interview. Uncle Dana must be happy with you.
I agree Jon doesn't 50-45 Francis, he chokes him out in less than 3 minutes.
@@flyingmonke You're even smarter than Agent Smith over there 👍
@@flyingmonke
I also say that..
Ngannou cannot do anything in grappling exchanges with Jones and when they go down to the ground its over in less than a minute..
Lionheart Smith my favorite fighter one of the most realest truly a Mench
Ariel always tries to guilt his guest even at the beginning of the interview always making comments about them being late!! Listen to every interview, and that topic will come up!!
Imagine mighty mouse at 6'4 250lbs... he would eat Jon Jones. DJ is more so lb for lb
lighter guys are always more skilled than heavier guys. Thats why I think its silly when they put Francis on the p4p list/
Jones present a good argument for that not being true. DJ would have to close distance which is always an issue with Jon, and if you think the wrestling would be one sided against Jon that’s also incorrect.
Anthony had some CTE takes on this one
Jiri vs Jones is the fight id rather see
I watch BYM & Anthony’s a great guy, but a little delusional if he thinks he’s next for a titleshot. Even if he beats Walker, Annalaev & Jan still will get the shot over him.
Yoooo whats up guys
Smith is really great on the mic - very well composed and insightful.
Jones will be faster then stipe imo stronger more explosive will beat him handily standing or wrestling. Stipe has no leg kick defence jones will defo expose that
So if smith wins his next fight he feels entitled to a title fight ? On a one fight win streak ? Dude needs at least 4 solid wins in the top 10 to be in the tittle talks again.
22:09 yeah he fought smart but in the 3rd he got touched and almost got knocked out. Cody showed he had amazing fight iq against dom and then in other fights he shows zero fight iq and get la knocked out. Imagine if he would’ve done that duck he did when fighting Rafael against Cory or Sean the would’ve kneed his head off.
I like Anthony Smith's mancave
17:28 Anthony Smith- "I seen some things that need to be sured up"
English translation- I saw some things that need to be shored up.
Anyone who hates Lionheart never actually listens to him speak . He’s an intelligent and reasonable guy but people just love reading headlines then parroting clickbait
Not true. I’ve listened to every podcast/broadcast/interview from which his infamous quotes were spoken and there is nothing taken out of context as he always later claims. He’s a delusional narcissist who’s in love with the sound of his own voice and seemingly incapable of crediting an opponent who has bested him.
Lionheart💪🏽💪🏽
