Stephen A. Smith doubles down: UFC 246’s ‘bright lights’ were too much for Cerrone
Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesDespite facing heavy criticism after his harsh words on Donald Cerrone’s UFC 246 performance, ESPN’s Stephen A Smith has stood by his comments on “Cowboy.”
Following Cerrone’s 40-second KO loss to Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 246 last month, Smith said he was “disgusted” by Cerrone’s “atrocious” performance and thinks he “gave up” in the octagon. Some of the biggest names in MMA caught on to Smith’s comments with the likes of Joe Rogan disagreeing and Nate Diaz defending with the broadcaster.
Talking recently on Sirius XM’s “The AK & Batak Show”, Smith discussed his controversial opinion of Cerrone’s fight with McGregor.
