Summary
Anthony Smith entered a not guilty plea to four felony charges and was ordered to return for a Sept. 21 status hearing in Nebraska.
Prosecutors say the former UFC title challenger threatened to kill his wife during a July 26 altercation in Gretna, then forced her into a vehicle and later tried multiple times to strike her with it.
The charges include terroristic threats, two counts of false imprisonment and attempted assault; authorities say Smith's wife avoided physical injury.
Smith has not commented publicly, while his manager said on Aug. 1 that people should not rush to judgment and stressed his right to due process.
