‘Getting f—d around every corner’ - Smith reveals blood clot, health struggles after UFC 277 injury

Things didn’t end well for former UFC title challenger Anthony Smith in his most recent fight at UFC 277 against Magomed Ankalaev. Not only did he end a three-fight win streak, he also broke his ankle in the process.

But that’s not the worst part. According to “Lionheart,” his path to recovery has been rocky, to say the least.

In his recent interview with MMAFighting.com’s The Writer and Fighter podcast, Smith said his ankle had already healed up and that he’d been off crutches for two weeks now. He is, however, dealing with other health issues.
