Anthony Smith confused by his ongoing beef with UFC champ Alex Pereira: ‘It’s just weird to me’

Anthony Smith doesn’t fully understand the beef between himself and champion Alex Periera.

Despite being a long way away from a potential title opportunity, Pereira has taken repeated digs at Smith in recent years, the most recent coming at UFC 301 when ‘Poatan’ hilariously pretended to fall asleep just as ‘Lionheart’ was seconds away from fighting Vitor Petrino.

As an analyst for the UFC, Smith was quick to point out that Pereira’s success inside the Octagon is especially impressive considering his lack of a ground game.
