Anthony Smith ranks as one of MMA’s unlikeliest success stories.
“Lionheart” was 5-6 through his first 11 professional appearances, and while he found his footing as he traversed his 20s, he never looked like anything more than a reliable action fighter who would emerge from the regional circuit whenever he was called upon.
