Anthony Smith Reveals Why He Flipped Off Fan in Aftermath of Farewell Fight
Briefly

After suffering a TKO loss to Mingyang Zhang at UFC Kansas City, Anthony Smith encountered disrespect from a heckler in the crowd, whom he confronted post-fight. The fan, wearing a Nebraska shirt, had been taunting Smith throughout the event. Smith expressed his frustration, emphasizing the dedication required in professional fighting and his disbelief at being disrespected by someone in his community. Despite this altercation, Smith took time to reflect on his career and received a tribute before officially retiring with a record of 38 wins and 22 losses.
I was really focused on what I had to do. Then after the fight, his friend is cheering and he's still flipping me off and saying some pretty disrespectful things.
I pour my heart and soul into this game and I don't care if you think that I suck... you're definitely not doing what I'm doing, especially wearing a Nebraska shirt.
