The UFC fighter Anthony Smith said a trespasser in his home gave him "one of toughest fights" of his life and that the intruder was "no normal human."

Smith told ESPN that on Sunday at about 4 a.m., he woke up to find an intruder in the computer room of his home in Omaha, Nebraska, and attempted to subdue him for more than five minutes.

"No normal human is able to fight like that," Smith said. "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."

Smith added, "I didn't know it was possible to be that terrified."

A man named Luke Haberman was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal trespass, according to ESPN.

Anthony Smith UFC's career has seen him go up against some of the baddest men on the planet, including Jon "Bones" Jones, Rashad Evans, and Alexander Gustafsson.

But Smith said he had one of the toughest fights of his career in his own home on Sunday morning when faced with an intruder he described as "no normal human."

Smith told ESPN that on Sunday at about 4 a.m., he woke up to find a stranger in his home in Omaha, Nebraska, then attempted to subdue him for more than five minutes while waiting for the police to arrive.

"No normal human is able to fight like that," the UFC light heavyweight told ESPN. "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."

He added, "I'm not lying when I said it was one of the toughest fights I've had in my whole life."

Smith, whose three young daughters were also in the house, said his wife woke him, then he heard a man "screaming at the top of his lungs" and found him in the family's computer room.

Smith said the man walked toward him as if to threaten him, adding that he was concerned that the intruder might have had a weapon.

"I didn't know what he had," Smith told ESPN. "Typically people don't break into your house in the middle of the night for any good reasons. I'm expecting that I'm gonna hear a gunshot or he's gonna stab me. Like he's got something. I figure I've got about two minutes before whatever he's got takes me out."

He added, "I didn't know it was possible to be that terrified."

The police arrested and charged the man, identified as Luke Haberman, with first-degree criminal trespass, ESPN reported.
