Anthony Smith answers Alex Pereira’s ‘weird’ napping video
In a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Smith responded to Pereira’s impromptu nap during his UFC 301 Octagon intro.
“Someone showed me the video, I didn’t see it live or anything. It’s weird,” Smith responded to Pereira. “I don’t come for him, I’ve never come for him like that. Of course, you have the title belt in my division, so when people say what’s your goal, I want to fight the champion, I want to fight Alex Pereira. But he goes out of his way to pick at me, which is fine, it doesn’t bother me. I think it’s awesome and it’s a lot of fun, he has a sense of humor as I’ve always said…
“I enjoy that part of it, but it’s just weird to me.”
Smith is still likely one or two wins away from a possible title shot after the win over Petrino. Pereira, meanwhile, is eying a rematch with Jiří Procházka for his next light heavyweight title defense.
