Anthony Smith did the very best he could with fortunate timing.

[Mack Yancy]

You are VERY weirdly invested in pushing this "he's a jobber thing" - like you've got money on converting people.

Did Anthony shit on your cornflakes or beat your favorite fighter? Let it go.

You're even more weirdly defending him from the title of Jobber like your salary depends on it.

Is Anthony paying you by the hour or by the post?

I'm talking about his career not the fight.

Anthony Smith just isn't a talented fighter. Yes, get mad Smith fans who have dreamed up a world where his very occasional commentary and good takes translate to him being a high level fighter. It's just not reality. The dude's picture above the dictionary definition of 'Jobber' right next to fucking Masvidal.

However unlike Masvidal who was a jobber with some flashy wins at the relatively competitive WW.
Anthony Smith was a jobber in the no-man's land of unranked MW and the joke of the current LHW division. Basically a small fish in a small pond. But there was also a very clear road to recognition where no one else was doing shit. He picks up two wins over washed, retirement-ready Rashad Evans, and the ever marching zombie of Shogun and start marketing himself as a 'legend killer'.

That was it. That's all he needed to do in the barren wasteland to get a title eliminator against the famously never-was Volkan and then go on to challenge Jones. That was the highlight of his career. Then he went on to just Job like he was doing before, but now angling himself to be commentator.

I can't even hate on the guy, he capitalized on perfect timing and is doing his very best to carve out a cushy job with his ridiculously limited skillset. Good for Smith.

I think peak Jorge is better than any version of Smith.

Jorge has the IT factor.

Not sure what Smith has.

You don’t know what a jobber is. He’s the opposite of that term

You have some wacky thoughts about masvidal, but in this instance you are right.

Masvidal does have some star power. Anthony Smith has forum-level 'the right take' power.

Okay so what does Jobber mean and what makes Smith the opposite?

I'm giving you a chance to lay out the definition.

 

[Mack Yancy]

No it really really isn't.

volkan just came off a title shot.

Volkan sucks but Shogun is beyond washed so this is probably right.

 

[Mack Yancy]

What kind of caviar brain says a top 10 guy who can beat 99% of humanity isn't talented.

Your dubs tell me you are having trouble controlling your behaviour. Learn some discipline.

No that's just me. Yes I got Dubs.

 

[Trabaho]

Your dubs tell me you are having trouble controlling your behaviour. Learn some discipline.

At least I'm being respectful of the sport I claim to be a fan of.

Did you really wait a month for me to get Dubs to make this comeback

Anthony Smith is a journeyman who was lucky enough to be in a division that almost all the top 10 fighters left. Jones quit, DC retired, Gustafsson went out of prime, Rumble, Bader, Anderson, Davis all left the company.
