UFC 300 is only a week away and fans are excited to witness what has been promised by head honcho Dana White to be one of the most exciting events in the history of the promotion. Some of the most talented fighters in the promotion are prepared to entertain the fans, with two title fights and one fight for the title of BMF. That being said, the entire card is jacked, one of which would see Bobby Green taking on Jim Miller in the lightweight division for the first time in his career.

Both fighters have very contrasting styles, and the fans will be up for an intense battle. Green has had one of the most challenging upbringings and has always been vocal about it. However, before his important clash, let us find out who the 37-year-old is married to.

Bobby Green has always been a powerful contender in the lightweight division, and despite his struggles, ‘King’ has made a name for himself by competing against some of the biggest names in the division. During his journey, his wife Tabitha Swann played a huge role in his success.

Although no details are available about how, when, and where they got married, they have been together for almost a decade. The happy couple has also grown their family together and has a daughter named Isabella. But she is not Green’s only child, as he has two more sons from previous relationships.

The California native‘s firstborn, Jeremiah, was born when he was discharged from the army for purportedly having a relationship with a woman. The relationship did not last for long, and he split from the woman shortly after. Regardless, being the stand-up guy he is, ‘King’ still takes care of Jeremiah and helps him financially.

Green’s second son is named Jacob, but next to nothing is known about his mother. This means Isabella is the youngest of his three children.  The lightweight fighter is a responsible father and takes care of all three of his children, even working at a warehouse before making it big in MMA to support and provide for them. While the UFC star seemingly does his best to make sure his children are loved and taken care of, alas, Green did not have anyone in his family to do the same for him.

More about Bobby Green’s family and personal life

To say that Bobby Green had a turbulent childhood would be an understatement. ‘King’s father, Mitchell Davis was incarcerated a few years after he was born in 1986, and his mother, Connie Scott Davis struggled with drug addiction. With neither parents nor any other member of the family there to take care of the child, Green moved to the foster care system at the tender age of five, away from everyone he loved and cared for.

Unsurprisingly, this turbulence and dysfunction led him to act out. In school, he would express his angst by wearing all-black make-up, painting his body white, and even shaving his head. It was in school, however, that Green found the ticket to his future success as he started wrestling, taking to the sport like fish to water.

Watching an old tape of Muhammad Ali helped Green come to the final decision that he would pursue a career in fighting. While he did successfully make it in the fight game, signing for the world’s most successful MMA promotion, the UFC, in 2013, tragedy struck the very next year.

In 2014, his younger brother, Mitchell Davis, was shot and killed in a suspected gang-related drive-by shooting, leaving ‘King’ devastated. But, this was not all, as merely a few months later, his older brother, Charles Gasaway was shot as well. However, ‘King’ was spared the pain of losing another family member as Gasaway managed to survive and made a full recovery.
