Anthony Smith: ‘I’m not a victim’ of bad coaching or bad refereeing, ‘I put myself in this position’

A lot of people were concerned with the stoppage in Anthony Smith’s recent fifth round TKO loss to Glover Teixeira in the main event at UFC Jacksonville.

While there were cries of bad refereeing or poor judgment on the part of his coaches to allow him to continue, Smith actually had no problem with the decisions made on his behalf despite absorbing a great deal of punishing during the last 10 plus minutes in the fight.

“I’m not a victim,” Smith told MMA Fighting on Wednesday.
