Anthony Smith suffered a unique leg injury in his fight against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 277 this past Saturday.
The No. 5 light heavyweight was finished by second-round TKO after he found himself underneath Ankalaev, who unleashed some ground-and-pound on a clearly compromised Smith until the referee waved off the fight. Smith was helped out of the Octagon and was said to have suffered a broken leg, which has since been confirmed by ‘Lionheart’ and UFC president Dana White.
Now days removed from his fight against Ankalaev, Smith shared his perspective on what happened during an appearance on the Believe You Me podcast with Michael Bisping.
