Anthony Smith 's speech after being knocked out by Dominick Reyes in the last fight of the UFC 310 preliminary card was one of the most melancholic moments of the night. The veteran indicated that this was probably his last performance as a professional. However, for Michael Bisping , the fighter should reconsider the idea and return to the octagon.

According to the former UFC middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg), Smith still has the ability to compete at a high level, and that his main mistake was accepting the fight last Saturday (7), due to the mental state he was in due to the death of his main coach, Scott Morton.

“I don’t think he should have taken that fight, but I don’t think he’s going to retire. I think when he watches it, he’ll be embarrassed, and it will inspire him to come back. The world doesn’t deserve to remember him like that…”, said the former champion on his podcast ‘Believe You Me’ on YouTube.
