In the podcast, Anthony Smith predicted how would Conor respond if both the fighters met with their security. He said, “If he didn’t have all of his bodyguards, and you[Michael Bisping] and him[Conor McGregor] ran into each other just somewhere out and he didn’t have 10 friends or five bodyguards or whatever, he wouldn’t dare say something like that to you.”

Anthony further continued, “And that’s the craziest thing to me. Why be an a*shole? When you know no one can do anything about it. Because you gotta, you know, you pay half a million dollars a year in security.”

The feud between Anthony Smith and Conor McGregor

Anthony Smith, in an interview with Low Kick MMA,

mentioned his thoughts about Conor’s controversial tweets.

He said,

“I can’t handle the tweet and stuff. I didn’t like it when he was attacking Khabib and his family and his religion and the personal stuff.” 

The light heavyweight fighter in detail described how his rivalries with Luke Rockhold and

Jon Jones never crossed the line of respect and attacked each other personally.

The Lionheart continued and said, “But Conor, is just, it’s too far, it’s way too far. That wouldn’t take all this fighting out of the picture. Like people get shot for a lot less than that, just walking down the street.”

These comments came after the incident involving the two that happened last year. During that time, Conor mocked the Texas-born fighter and fellow UFC commentator, Belal Muhammad. McGregor ridiculed them for incorrectly stating that the first to defeat former UFC featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo was Max Holloway instead of McGregor.

During that incident, Anthony was working on the desk as an analyst when he incorrectly mentioned this statement.
