Tim Elliott, a United States mixed martial artist competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, recently shared a candid personal story on social media.
He posted, Would you like to see something difficult? This is my wife taking vows of love and loyalty to our daughter at our wedding. The man with the microphone is my close friend and fellow fighter Kevin Krum. My wife was unfaithful with him on that very night, and the affair continued for years during our marriage, he wrote, accompanying the message with photographs.
The 36-year-old American has fought in 35 professional MMA bouts, securing 22 wins. His former spouse, Gina Mazani, has achieved seven victories in 14 professional appearances.
Anthony Smith, another former UFC competitor, opened up about his own family ties and hesitations. He revealed that some relatives live in Chechnya and admitted he once hesitated to visit them. My wife’s stepmother is from Chechnya, he explained, so I have knowledge of the region. Relatives were invited to visit, yet I refused because the idea felt intimidating to me. I’m not sure why, but something about it unsettled me, he said.
