Anthony Smith addresses his UFC Vegas 83 defeat to Khalil Rountree

Anthony Smith Faces the Music Following UFC Vegas 83 Loss

Anthony Smith never shies away from his losses, and this defeat to Khalil Rountree is no different. He took to his Instagram account to share a brief statement on his fight against “The War Horse.”

“Congrats to Khalil and his team,” Smith wrote. “Helluva performance. You deserve it. Sorry to everyone who supports me. I gave it my all. Sometimes that’s not enough.”

Smith didn’t discuss his fighting future in the post, but there are fans calling for him to retire from MMA and focus on his successful analyst career and co-hosting the “Believe You Me” podcast. It’s clear that some believe Smith’s value may be greater at the desk than inside the Octagon.

However, Smith may have other plans. He could take this opportunity to reflect on the loss and work on correcting the flaws. “Lionheart” has faced three losses in his last four fights and is now 1-3. He did win against Ryan Spann via split decision back in August, but he hasn’t been able to string together consecutive wins since 2021.

Anthony Smith’s next move will be an intriguing one. Stay tuned to BJPenn.com for the latest updates.
