After a one-fight stint at King of the Cage, where she defeated Valerie Barney via first-round TKO, Gina Mazany returned to the UFC in June 2020.

What happened between Gina Mazany and Tim Elliott?

UFC flyweight Tim Elliot recently accused his wife, Gina Mazany, of cheating on him with teammate and former UFC bantamweight Kevin Croom via an emotional post on Twitter.

Training together at James Krause's gym, Elliott and Mazany had been together for several years before getting engaged on July 28, 2020. Notably, Croom also trains at Glory MMA and Fitness Gym alongside the estranged couple. 'Crash' fought in the UFC's bantamweight division for two years before being released in May 2022.

In a recent impassionate tweet, the No.11-ranked flyweight posted a picture of his wedding day, showing Mazany reading their wedding vows to his daughter while Croom held the mic for her. Elliott explained his situation in the caption, writing:

"You want to see something gross? This is my “wife” reading vows to my daughter on our “wedding” night! The guy holding the microphone [Kevin Croom] was my “friend/teammate” my wife cheated on me with this guy the same night! and they have had a relationship our entire “marriage” Gina Mazany."

Tim Elliott last faced Tagir Ulanbekov at UFC 272 in March last year. The 36-year-old defeated the Russian via unanimous decision. Meanwhile, Gina Mazany last beat Elizabeth Schroder via a split decision at FAC 17.
