Anthony Smith says Dominick Reyes was ‘not that good’ but ‘then it hit me … maybe I’m not either anymore’

Anthony Smith wasn’t himself at UFC 310.

For the first time since suffering a loss to Dominick Reyes this past Saturday night, the one-time title challenger addressed his performance, which came weeks after he lost close friend, coach, and training partner Scott Morton, who died after suffering a heart attack at just 47 years old. Besieged by grief in the days leading up to the fight, Smith acknowledged that he knew he wasn’t in a good head space to compete before he ever set foot in the octagon.
