Anthony Smith is encouraging MMA fans to boycott Jake Paul’s future fights.<\/p>\n

Smith, 35, (36-17 MMA) is making it clear that he is not in Jake Paul’s corner.<\/p>\n

The often outspoken and controversial Paul was a full-time YouTuber until he decided to dabble in the boxing ring with a few exhibition fights. The 25 year old then turned pro and now sports 6 wins in a row, 4 by knockout.<\/p>\n

Paul’s most recent win was against Anderson Silva, 47, (34-11 MMA). The bout took place last Saturday, October 29, 2022, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.<\/p>\n

\"Jake<\/p>\n

While speaking on the ‘Believe You Me’ Podcast, Smith had this to say about Jake Paul:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should all boycott the rest of his fights until he fights someone who\u2019s on his level or whatever level we deem him to be.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing Smith took aim at ‘The Problem Child’s’ commentary on the UFC saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou talk all this sh*t about MMA fighters, you talk sh*t about the UFC, then you pretend that you wanna bring fighters up and you want everyone to get paid better but you trash everyone, every time they fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding, Smith spoke about MMA veterans who are ‘putting food on the table’ for the boxer, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cOlder, shorter, smaller, past their prime legends that have spend their entire careers running their bodies into f*cking car accidents and we hold these guys near and dear to our hearts.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGo f*ck yourself, like why are we even pandering to this piece of sh*t?”<\/em><\/p>\n
