UFC lightweight Donald Cerrone is confused by Anthony Smith’s recent accusation against him.<\/p>\n

Last month, ‘Lionheart’ revealed<\/a> on the Believe You Me<\/em> podcast a run-in his family had with ‘Cowboy’ at UFC 235. While Smith was fighting in the main event against Jon Jones, his family was reportedly dealing with other issues.<\/p>\n

While Anthony Smith was warming up, his family was apparently kicked out of their seats. According to the light-heavyweight, an intoxicated Cerrone and Dan Bilzerian had them removed from their seats. According to Smith, the latter watched pornography next to his family.<\/p>\n

For his part, Dan Bilzerian denied<\/a> the accusations. Now, Donald Cerrone, who fights Joe Lauzon at UFC Austin, gave his take on the story. At the UFC Austin media day, he denied\u00a0 Anthony Smith’s claim.<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/p>\n

\u201cFor one, I saw Anthony a couple of times and he never said anything, so why he waited for three years to go by \u2014 I just don\u2019t know if he\u2019s trying to stay relevant, why he would bring that up. You know, because you go to the fights, your name is literally on your chair in Dana\u2019s section. So, \u2018Cowboy. Cowboy.\u2019 Nobody was sitting in my seat when we showed up there. It\u2019s not like we were like, \u2018Hey, mom, get out, you\u2019re not in this seat.\u2019 You walk in the back, the security grabs you and walks you to your seat, \u2018Ticket 6, 7, OK, right there and there.\u2019 (h\/t MMAFighting<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like you can just free range walk around any seat you want and be like, \u2018Get out, you\u2019re in my seat\u2019 or \u2018Get out, I want to sit there.\u2019 And if they were there and we kicked them out, how did we find another seat? The whole story doesn\u2019t make any sense to me. I don\u2019t get it, but I\u2019m not sure where he even fabricated this story from. It\u2019s funny to me and then to say Dan was in there watching porn. That means after we threw your grandma and mom out of their seat, they sat behind us? It\u2019s strange to me, so I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
