Anthony Smith Reveals List Of Injuries He Suffered Against Glover Teixeira

Light-heavyweight contender Anthony Smith was on the wrong side of a brutal beatdown against Glover Teixeira in the UFC Jacksonville main event. Smith started the fight well and was landing big right hands on a consistent basis. The tide quickly turned though and by the end of round two ‘Lionheart’ looked hurt and gassed trying […]

The fight dragged on into the fifth round with Smith absorbing a ridiculous amount of punishment. Eventually, the referee stepped in to wave off the fight although you could argue Smith’s corner should have made the call about five minutes earlier.

Post-fight ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani revealed he had been in contact with Smith who filled him in on the long list of injuries he suffered against the 40-year-old Brazilian.

“Just spoke to Anthony Smith via text. Injuries suffered tonight: Broken nose, broken orbital bone, two missing teeth and a cut under his right eye. One tooth in front and one towards the back, he said. His real teeth.”

In between rounds, Smith was heard telling his coaches that his teeth were falling out. Despite this, he was allowed to go out and take more punishment from Teixeira. Brett Okamoto of ESPN spoke to Smith’s head coach Marc Montoya post-fight and he explained why the corner didn’t really react to their fighter complaining about losing teeth.

“Spoke briefly to Anthony Smith’s head coach Marc Montoya (@coachMMontoya). He said one thing people don’t realize is Anthony has veneers, that have fallen out before in practice. So, when Anthony said his teeth were falling out, their interpretation was different from viewers.”

After suffering such an extensive list of nasty injuries it’s safe to assume we won’t be seeing ‘Lionheart’ Smith fighting again any time soon. Props to him though for putting up a very brave performance against the rejuvenated Teixeira.

Should the corner of Anthony Smith have done more to protect their fighter?

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to mock Anthony Smith when he’s down.

Smith suffered a fifth-round TKO defeat to Glover Teixeira in the UFC Jacksonville headliner on Saturday night. “Lionheart” was notably dominated throughout the fight as he barely survived until the referee stopped the contest in the final round.

Jones — who already defeated both fighters — was keeping a close eye on the bout as he took to social media to give his live reactions.

“Anthony Smith talking about outlasting me to become a world champion, Negro please ”

“Man Uncle Glover ain’t playing tonight”

Jones — who recently went back-and-forth with Smith last month following the latter’s home invasion — then decided to mock him further.

“It seems like almost everyone who trash talk me during their fight week ends up losing. These boys thinking about being the champ instead of focusing on what it takes to get there.”

“Bones” went a step further and referenced that incident before deleting the tweet.

Jones did find time to poke fun at himself too, especially as Teixeira, 40, was able to finish a fighter that he couldn’t.

“Lol you just shut me up for the night ”

In the end, it’s all fun and games for Jones.

“Haha it’s just rough entertainment at the end of the day. We are all always talking crap to each other and teasing each other. Pretty sure most these guys have tough skin, I know my skins become like an armadillo since joining the Ufc.”

It remains to be seen if Smith will agree with Jones on that count.

Earlier tonight (Wed. May 13, 2020) UFC Jacksonville took place from the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

The empty arena hosted a light heavyweight bout between Anthony Smith and Glover Teixeira in which Teixeira secured a TKO finish in the 5th round. In the co-main event of the evening, we saw Ovince Saint Preux make his heavyweight debut against Ben Rothwell. The move didn’t go quite as planned for OSP who lost a split decision after what was a slow performance. Outside of the main events, there were plenty of great fights and moments throughout the card that could have warranted bonuses.

Fight of the Night came early on the card as Brian Kelleher def. Hunter Azure in the second bout of the evening. In what was a stand-up war the two exchanged on the feet fairly evenly throughout the first round. Going into the second Kelleher’s aggressive style saw him find the knockout left hook towards the end of the round.

The First Performance of the Night bonus went to Drew Dober following his victory against prospect Alexander Hernandez. Dober asserted his dominance early pushing the pace and finding a home from his punches forcing Hernandez to shoot for a takedown. After returning to his feet Dober slowly worked away at Hernandez slowing him down with every punch that connected. The second round would see Dober’s combinations and aggression be too much for Hernandez finishing him via TKO 4:25 into the round.

The final Performance of the Night bonus went to Glover Teixeira for him main event win against Anthony Smith. What started as a dominant performance for Smith in the first two rounds quickly turned in round three. Round three saw Smith start to fatigue and Teixeira capitalized on this, he pushed the pace on the feet landed massive blows dropping Smith on multiple occasions. Once on the ground, Teixeira continued to control the bout with a mixture of ground and pound and submission attempts. This continued throughout the fourth round and into the fifth before being stopped by the ref 1:04 into the round.
