Anthony Smith is going to headline the main event of UFC Vegas 37 against Ryan Spann. Smith was too focused on his fight camp and he didn’t pay attention to any of the promos for the event.

Ryan Spann passed on some aggressive comments towards “The Lion Heart,” and Smith finds it extremely funny. On his recent appearance at The MMA Hour, he said, “I didn’t see it live, but I had enough people reach out that I was like, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll go back and watch and see what this is about.’ I don’t know. What a nerd. I just laughed at it the whole time. Like, what are you so mad about?”

He continued, “It sounds like a bunch of sh*t that’s bothering him, that he’s got to convince himself. And then at the end he hit me with the old ‘Watchmen’ quote, when Rorschach was in prison: ‘I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me.’ Get out of here, you f*cking dork. Listen, I don’t want to take this too deep because there’s no beef there. I definitely don’t have his respect, which is fine. I will next Saturday night, I promise you that.”

Smith considers Spann to be one of the most dangerous opponents he has ever faced, he said, “He’s one of the more dangerous guys that I’ve faced in a long time,” Smith said. “He’s super powerful. He’s athletic. He’s really big, he moves well. He has a lot of positive things to his game. I respect his abilities, for sure. I respect his attributes. I respect his skills. I just don’t — I guess I don’t talk about him.”

Smith doesn’t know why Spann is talking trash about him, “Like, I don’t really know him. I have gotten a vibe that he doesn’t like me. We’ve been in the same place before, we’ve been in situations where we’re very close to each other, and I just get this vibe that he just doesn’t like me. Which is, you don’t have to like everybody, but sometimes I do wonder — I feel like I’m kind of a hard guy to dislike, so I don’t know what that’s about, but honestly I don’t give a sh*t either way.”
