Fight Quote by Anthony Smith

“They offered me a fight with Corey Anderson in Lincoln, Nebraska. He turned it down because he wasn't ready. Then not long after that, I took a fight with Shogun, who they offered to him first and he turned it down, so then I took it because he wouldn't.” quote by Anthony Smith
