The couple are also blessed with three daughters. Ariah, Avaya and Adley Joy were born in 2011, 2014, and 2017 respectively.
Anthony Smith will be fighting Ryan Spann next in the UFC. This is a special event to be held in Singapore with the main event of The Korean Zombie and Max Holloway.
Smith is coming off back-to-back losses to Majored Ankalaev and Johnny Walker. He was on a three-fight winning streak before the loss to Ankalaev, and his last win was also against Spann.
