Anthony Smith Felt Hand Break During UFC Fight, Kept Throwing Punches PhilBoxing.com Wed, 05 Jun 2019  TMZ SPORTS -- "I just kept going, you know what I mean? Whatever, who cares, f**k it. Let's just throw down." That was UFC fighter Anthony Smith's reaction to BREAKING HIS HAND in the 2nd-round of his UFC fight with Alexander Gustafsson on Saturday in Stockholm, Sweden. Smith -- who won via rear-naked choke in the 4th -- tells TMZ Sports it was "super painful" (as you'd expect) ... but there was NO WAY "Lionheart" was quitting over a broken bone. "I definitely felt the break and it hurt, but as the fight went on it got worse for sure," Smith tells us. "Honestly man, here's my mentality. I'm here, I'm here, let's just fight. I don't want any regrets. I don't want to wonder, ah, maybe I coulda pushed it or whatever. I just go do it." "I told [my coach] Mark, he said, 'how are you feeling?' I said, 'my hands broken.' He said, 'alright we're gonna start throwing elbows.' And I said, 'Nah, I'll just keep throwing it."' How the hell did Smith continue? "I know this sounds silly. But I remember sitting down in between rounds. My hand was broken. We're going into the 4th. I just kept thinking, man, I just wanna go home and go camping." Anthony's home, and he's having surgery to fix the break on Wednesday ... and then he says it'll need 4 months to heal. Til then, he's going camping.
