Anthony Smith is detailing the leg injury he suffered at UFC 277.<\/p>\n

It was Anthony Smith (36-17 MMA) vs Magomed Ankalaev (18-1 MMA) last Saturday, July 30th at UFC 277. The outcome was Ankalaev winning via knockout at 3:09 of the second round.<\/p>\n

During the fight Smith, 34, broke his left ankle and is expected to undergo surgery this coming weekend.<\/p>\n

Anthony Smith spoke with Michael Bisping on his ‘Believe You Me’ podcast and outlined his injury (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI threw this hard overhand and it was just a little short and he came back with a hard leg kick. And my whole leg went numb from the knee down. It was only like 20 seconds, 15 seconds \u2013 it came back pretty quick. But I didn\u2019t really think anything of it \u2013 just hit a weird nerve, and your leg goes numb. Shortly after that, we got tangled up. You know how it gets with opposite stances \u2013 your feet get tangled up sometimes. And I went to step back with my left foot, and it\u2019s like wasn\u2019t anything there. It was weird.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing, Anthony Smith said:<\/p>\n

\u201cRight before he kicked me and my leg went numb, I was stepping on his foot. So we were having that lead foot battle and it happened twice. I stepped on his foot and he pulled it out, and then it drug my body forward and my ankle kind of went all funny. And right after that, he banged that inside kick real hard. I know in the media or whatever it\u2019s been reported it was from a kick. It\u2019s 100 percent not. It\u2019s not from a kick. It\u2019s just f*cking sh*t luck.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding ‘Lionheart’ said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like a typical combat sports break. It\u2019s a weird break. Dr. (Jeffrey Davidson) said in 29 years, he\u2019s never seen it in combat sports. Apparently it\u2019s in my ankle, but it\u2019s a continuation of my leg bone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The loss ended Smith\u2019s three-fight winning streak and it’s uknown how long the injury will keep the light heavyweight sidelined.<\/p>\n
