UFC fighter Anthony Smith recalls a time when he did not feel welcome at a hospital.
A UFC fighter’s life is filled with injuries. That is a big part of the job. It takes a special kind of person to get beat up for a living and keep coming back for more.
With fighting and injuries comes surgeries and hospital visits. Many times on fight night, those fighters with severe injuries are transported right from the event to the hospital. Because of the nature of these injuries and how they came about, they may not always receive a warm welcome at the local hospitals.
This seems to be the case with the hospital in Dallas following the event held on July 30. That event was UFC 277 and was filled with some exciting and bloody fights.
Many fighters that night were transferred to the hospital or were in need of some medical attention afterward. One man who suffered a loss that night which secured him a hospital visit was Anthony Smith.
“It was real clear that they didn’t want us at that hospital in Dallas anyways, they were almost seemingly annoyed that we were there,” Smith told The MMA Hour (h/t Sportskeeda.)
“And I get it, it’s like the best trauma hospital in Dallas, not in a fantastic area, they get a lot of really critical injuries. I have a friend in Dallas, a police officer, and if there’s any cops that get shot, that’s where they take them because it’s the best. So they’re busy, and I’m sure they don’t want to deal with our self-inflicted bulls–t, which I understand, totally understand.”
Hmmmm Never Saw That Coming
Makes sense.
The Diaz bros ruined it for everyone.
Nailed it
Cool, his feelings don’t validate the reality of a situation. You know what clears that up? A levelheaded “I feel a little tension here, did I do something wrong?”. I swear to God, it’s that simple lol
Do you trane communication Bro?!?!?
I think there was a scene in the movie The Smashing Machine were a nurse or something alluded to this
Epic Movie
Was just moved to Utube , post time
Lmfao fucking classic
Maybe fighters should stop being emotional women. My god be a man and deal with some criticism. Fucking babies.
timeless
I would love to meet a person who talks like this in real life.
Smith seems like he’s been taking a ton of damage in his fights these past few years. His body doesn’t seem like it’s holding up anymore.
And this mother fucker’s never been around a nurse.
They’re not always fun but they’re never boring.
Cool, not all nurses are like that you father fucker. He “feels” fighters aren’t welcome in hospitals. I feel you’re a faggot. Ok, never mind, I like how this works 
. (I try to keep in mind facts and objectivity aren’t well received here, but I do my best to fit in with you retards 
)
They’re mad because it’s cutting into their TikTok choreography time.
