Kevin Garnett's Estranged Wife Seeking Nearly $200K A Month In Support
KEVIN AND BRANDI GARNETT
Kevin Garnett's divorce is not going to come cheap ... if his estranged wife gets what she feels she's due.
Brandi Garnett is seeking $146,000 per month in spousal support, plus another $46k monthly in child support for their 2 daughters -- ages 10 and 6. Brandi says she has the girls 95 percent of the time.
Brandi's also asking for $300k in attorney fees immedi- ately to cover the cost of the di- vorce proceedings so far and estimated future costs to ham- mer out an agreement.
There's more -- according to the docs, Brandi's requesting an additional $25k to retain counsel in another financial matter involving Kevin al- legedly getting swindled out of $77M. KG claims his former accountant worked with a crooked wealth manager to steal a fortune from him over several years.
Brandi filed for divorce from Kevin in July after 14 years of marriage, citing irrec- oncilable differences.

Jon Jones Defeats Anthony Smith At UFC 235
Jon Jones, right, dominated Anthony Smith, left, and yet came frighteningly close to losing.
He didn’t get the finish he would have liked, but Jon Jones was absolutely domi- nant in a five-round win over Anthony Smith.
The light heavyweight title bout was the main event of today’s UFC 235 show at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per- view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.
The two fighters set up at close range to start, with Smith (31-14 MMA, 7-4 UFC) landing a kick to the thigh to open. Jones (24-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) switched stances and teased a few strikes, but it was Smith who again kicked at the
thigh. Jones whiffed on a few big power punches, but a kick of his own touched the body.
Smith kept his focus largely on the legs, and he had to slip a quick front kick aimed at his head. Jones again cracked the robs with a spinning kick, and he seemed ready to turn up the pressure. When he caught a Smith high kick, he nearly dumped his opponent to the floor but instead was able to press him to the cage. Jones landed a few shoulder strikes there but was ultimately forced to pull away from the stalemate. Jones dominated the fight throughout.
