‘I don’t know what his problem is’ - Ryan Spann responds to Anthony Smith

Ryan Spann doesn’t sound particularly bothered by Anthony Smith and his ‘b—h forever’ comments and denies calling ‘Lionheart’ out after his latest UFC victory over Dominick Reyes.

Shortly after scoring a first-round KO at UFC 281, Spann told UFC color commentator Joe Rogan he wanted someone in the top five for his next fight — but excluded the names at No. 4, 3 or 2. That would leave either No. 5 or No. 1, which Smith and Glover Teixeira occupy. And with Teixeira scheduled for a championship rematch against Jiu0159í Procházka at UFC 282, it appeared as though Spann was hinting at a rematch with Smith.
