“I'm sorry, Anthony. It’s part of the job,” said the Brazilian.
In a disadvantaged position and visibly surrendered in the confrontation, Smith showed sport and responded to the miner's statements.
“Things are just like that,” said the North American.
Before exchanging forces on this Wednesday's card, Glover and Anthony had already made friendly statements to each other. During the week of the confrontation, the Brazilian insisted on saying that Smith was a great person and that the confrontation between them was not personal.
Just like the Minas Gerais native, the North American had already expressed his respect for his opponent. On some occasions, Smith spoke about an episode in which the Brazilian helped him adapt to Brazil for his fight against Antônio Braga NetoIn 2013.
