Anthony Smith pleads not guilty to felony charges

Former UFC title challenger Anthony Smith pleaded not guilty to multiple felony charges in court. Smith, known as "Lionheart," was arrested in Nebraska in July following an altercation with his wife. He is accused of making terroristic threats, two counts of false imprisonment, and attempting a felony. Smith is currently out on $45,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on September 21 for a status hearing.

The Sarpy County District Attorney's Office released a statement detailing the allegations against Smith, stating that he allegedly threatened to kill his wife and grabbed and pushed her inside his vehicle during an incident at a bar. Smith has not commented on the allegations, and his manager requested that people avoid rushing to judgment.
