Stephen A Smith was featured for the first time during a UFC broadcast at UFC 246 and he’s already causing controversy within the MMA community.

After Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone was destroyed by Conor McGregor in 40 seconds, Smith went on the UFC postfight show and crushed Cerrone over his disappointing performance.

“I’m quite disgusted,” “Let me be very, very clear: I’m honored to be up here with you guys. I’m a spectator watching the sport. I expected to see more than 40 seconds. I predicted McGregor was going to win this fight inside of two rounds. I thought he would take him out. Here’s the deal: 15 seconds in, ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone was done. He got hit with those shoulders in the clinch, and he was done. It look like he gave up. It was just an atrocious performance on his part.”

Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan called Smith out for being disrespectful towards Cerrone which led to a heated response from Stephen A. on Saturday night. Conor McGregor has chimed in on the Stephen A-Joe Rogan beef and is called for Stephen A to apologize to Cerrone for his comments.

Despite McGregor’s plea for him to apologize Stephen A continues to stand by his criticism of Cerrone.
