In November of 2008 Williams' mother, Belinda Jordan Williams, 44, was found strangled to death in Plainfield, New Jersey. The murder remains unsolved. "It’s very frustrating for all of us," Williams said. "I feel like half of me died the day she died. We just hope some day we can get some answers. I take her spirit with me every time I step in the ring. I fear nothing.”
