Anthony Smith Conor McGregor

UFC light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith hasn’t exactly been the biggest fan of Conor McGregor‘s recent antics on social media since his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, and he ended up being the victim of a Twitter verbal assault courtesy of the Irish star.

It all started with Smith did a recent interview with LowKickMMA’s James Lynch, in which he went in on McGregor for his recent attacks on his rival, former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and his family. Smith and countless others have had issues with McGregor’s comments specifically targeting Nurmagomedov’s children and deceased father, Abdulmanap in since-deleted tweets.

McGregor responded quickly to Smith’s interview with Lynch, referring to him as a “big zombie” in a tweet that has also been deleted from his page. Smith got the opportunity to address McGregor’s recent bizarre behavior and more specifically, his attacks on him.

“People are pretending like I’m going way out of my way. What fans don’t realize is none of us went out of our way to talk about Conor,” Smith said on a recent appearance on MMA on SiriusXM. “Be mad at the media. They keep asking the questions about Conor. It’s not me going out of my way, I just answered the question that was asked.”

Smith’s opinions mean more now than ever before as the light heavyweight contender has had a successful career in the podcast industry in addition to his time training MMA and competing in the UFC octagon. Smith has won back-to-back fights including a nasty TKO over Jimmy Crute due to a doctor’s stoppage.

McGregor had displayed a series of unusual behavior since falling to UFC 264 after a doctor’s stoppage following the first five minutes of action. He is in the middle of recovery from his nasty leg break and is expected to return to the UFC sometime in 2022.

Conor McGregor has fired back at Anthony ‘Lionheart’ Smith.

In a recent interview with LowKickMMA, Smith gave his opinion on McGregor’s recent social media attacks on several prominent MMA figures including Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“I can’t handle the tweeting stuff,” Smith said. “I didn’t like it when he was attacking Khabib (Nurmagomedov) and his family and his religion and the personal stuff. Me and Luke Rockhold have gone back-and-forth several times and neither one of us has ever attacked each other personally. Even Jon (Jones) and I — I mean, it’s got a little personal but it hasn’t really crossed over to like, too much. He’s made some jokes and he thinks he’s funny and whatever. but it’s never gotten to that point where we were attacking each other’s families.“

“With Conor, it’s just — it’s too far, it’s way too far,” Smith explained. “Take all this fighting bullsh*t out of the picture — like people get shot for a lot less than that just walking down the street, I don’t know. Maybe I just grew up (sic) different. Maybe I’ve grew (sic) up different and I’ve seen some crazier sh*t.“

“Like I’m just so shocked that he (McGregor) has the balls to — like I don’t understand why you feel so free to say things like that, like is he really that untouchable and really just feels like he’s just free to say what he wants?” Smith continued. “Maybe, I guess he’s got a bunch of security around him. There’s some people that you can’t talk like that about. It’s just — it’s weird to me.“

On Saturday, McGregor took to Twitter to respond to Smith’s comments.

“@lionheartasmith who’s getting shot for what? What the fuck are you saying you big zombie,” McGregor wrote on social media. “The disrespect coming my way consistently is what is causing my response. Are you stupid? You do not see this? Fuck off and leave me alone you losers. You nobodies. I’m preparing to return.”

Do you agree with Conor McGregor? Is he simply responding to people attacking him?
