Having recently experienced his own coaching controversy, you can bet Anthony Smith had something to say about this past weekend’s Max Rohskopf drama.
The debuting Rohskopf made headlines on Saturday after his fight against Austin Hubbard at UFC on ESPN 11 was waved off in between the second and third rounds when Rohskopf told his corner he couldn’t continue. The broadcast caught Rohskopf repeatedly telling his coach Robert Drysdale to “call it” and Drysdale insisting that Rohskopf go out for the third round. Referee Mark Smith and the ringside physician at the UFC APEX acknowledged Rohskopf’s plea and ended the bout.
