Anthony Smith is loved by MMA fans for his outspoken nature, especially when it comes to matters that concern the fighters themselves.
Do not let that confuse you for timidness, however, – a former title challenger, Smith also made the news last year for chasing away a home invader who was able to sneak into his home. Hence, it only makes sense to heed his advice when it comes to matters of combat.
Controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate has embarked on numerous tirades, calling Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ‘f***ing useless’ when it comes to real-life defense. Speaking about it, Smith said, “If Andrew Tate wants to have a competition, you be able to bite, you be able to scratch, and you can even have a knife, and it’s just me and you, and we’re in a room, and all I can use is Jiu Jitsu and all you can do is kickbox, I’m leaving that room with whatever was in your pockets, 100%.”
He continued, “He [Tate] brought up scratching, biting and a knife. You want to add those in, to your striking abilities, and I’ll just do Jiu Jitsu. You take the knife, you can bite, you can scratch and they just lock us in a room, and whoever walks out of that room, wins, I’m probably walking out of the room.”

Does Andrew Tate have a background in MMA?

Hence, Anthony Smith appears to be quite the ardent supporter of the practicality of BJJ in real-life endangering situations. Tate was a kickboxer himself, so, there might be some truth to his words as well. The question to be asked is – does he also have an MMA background using which he can analyze the utility of BJJ better?
Fans might be surprised at the answer to that question. Despite being a 4x IKSA kickboxing champion, Tate also has some sort of a background in MMA – that is, he has exactly one professional MMA fight, and win. His solitary win came against Shane Kavanagh all the way back in 2010.
That being said, despite the win, it doesn’t seem like “Top G” has enough of a background to assess the merits of using BJJ in a life-or-death situation. At this juncture, Tate, Anthony Smith, and also Michael Bisping (on whose podcast Smith made the claim) will have to just agree to disagree.
