Media Anthony Smith accepts Poatan's 50k grappling challenge

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Straight grappling? Smith for sure. I don't understand why Alex would take that honestly

 

[TheMadHatter]

I feel like poatan has to go through with this now or it will really look like he is avoiding grappling with anyone

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Devil's advocate:

What if this focus upon grappling is what takes Poatans overall MMA game to the next level? Like Aldo sharpening up his hands via focusing on boxing?

This could possibly wind up patching up Alex's primary weak spot of TDD and ground game.

just reading comments
seeing people really absolutley believe potanan could defend a choke against smith
lmao

I know right

 

[Trabaho]

So that was Poatan speaking english ? Why does he never speak in conferences and interviews. Anderson Silva syndrome.

That was an AI translator

Anthony Smith ego is amazing, it's almost as if he's not a mid level fighter.

He just won a fight. He's GOAT of his division.

On the opposite end, what if the focus on grappling makes his striking worse? The only notable thing about Alex is his striking.

Honestly could just do a Fight Pass Invitational event with Smith and Alex.

We all know that Alex chins smith in a MMA bout.

 

[MRT]

He's a Delusional weirdo. Come at me bro.

 

[usernamee]

Why do I have no faith this will actually happen

It might be brain related

Hilarious that Anthony had to emphasize the "starting on the back, with hooks in" part.

Anthony, thank you for the money last weekend (being an underdog), but you are delusional.

 

[OldBoy91]

If they do grapple potards are gonna realize how awful Alex’s grappling is and why he’d get smoked at heavyweight

They already know.

It isnt Poatan fans arguing that he should fight Jones at HW.


It's Jones fans trying to be slick and pretending to be Pereira fans.

I mean, that was literally the bet. Poatan stipulated that Smith could start on his back, not Anthony.

 

[Copper Burner]

Because Alex has had Glover on his back.

 

[chardog]

This fucking guy and his ego, where is all the media...no one fucking cares about you ffs lol. I used to not mind Smith in general but his fucking ego has just ballooned to a point where I cannot stand listening to him anymore

the challenge is hooks in rear, 5 minutes......... poatan's getting choked out

 

[dethmanrulz]

Poatan can shut him down Shaub style

Abu Schaubi 2.0

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Pretty sure the challenge was AI lol.

 

[Vil7]

Smith will destroy pereira…

wtf is poatan thinking??

Maybe paying smith a couple of 100ks under the table??

I don't know. Alex is a much better athlete than he is.

pretty sure everyone is aware of that

... and it's fucking goofy smith made a point
of that part.

Instead of say ...
"let's grapple for charity"
or
"fuck the money, let's grapple"

Smith should do it for free since he called out Alex on this in the first place.

It's grappling, not pro MMA
