Cormier: I thought Smith was done

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Daniel Cormier paid my dues Anthony Smith for his performance in the duel with Ryan Spann.

On August 26 at UFC Fight Night 225 in Kallang, Singapore, Smith defeated Spann via split decision.

“Smith missed some hard shots in this fight, but he was able to survive it and get the victory. Why is it important? Because I, like many others, thought Smith was done.

We thought that he was just going into the cage and making money, but at the same time he lost faith that he could be one of the best in the world. He never said this, but many thought he was finished. However, Anthony has shown that he still has that fighting spirit. I give him credit, ”quoted Cormier MMA News.
