Anthony Smith breaks down his fight with the intruder

Anthony Smith describing the entire situation said, “I’m not lying when I said it was one of the toughest fights I’ve had in my whole life. I went into that fight ready to die. Nobody smart breaks into a house in the middle of the night unarmed. When they break-in at night, it’s to hurt people. No normal human is able to fight like that. I’m by no means the baddest dude on the planet. But he’s a regular Joe and I had a hard time dealing with him. And he took everything that I gave him. Every punch, every knee, every elbow. He took every single one of them and kept fighting me.”

Luckily no one was injured. The intruder had supposedly broken in through the garage and caused the ruckus. Smith said it was the most terrifying experience he’s ever had. Especially because his family’s life was at risk. He said, “You always just think you’re such a badass. I just don’t feel like one, feel insufficient a little bit. I didn’t know it was possible to be that terrified.”

Be it a common Joe or a pro-MMA fighter, when It comes to real-life situations everyone can be caught off guard. The intent of the intruder is unclear as of now, but further investigation on the matter is on.
