Who Is Travis Browne, Ronda Rousey’s Boyfriend? Ex Brendan Schaub Is Worried About Fighter’s Mental State Before UFC 207

Former bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is slated to participate in her last fight at UFC 207, but that means she might have more time to spend with boyfriend Travis Browne. While Rousey is arguably better known, Browne is also an accomplished UFC star.

Browne, 34, is ranked No. 9 heavyweight in the UFC. His record is 18-5-1. Browne, whose nickname is “Hapa,” hails from Honolulu. He’s 6 feet 7 inches tall and 255 pounds.

The couple confirmed their relationship in October 2015. “I'll say now that we are together,” Browne said at the time on “The MMA Hour Live.” “She's my woman and I am her man.”

He said they were “serious” and not just dating. “There's no boyfriend, girlfriend stuff ... we're together,” the fighter added.

There’s been some controversy with Rousey, 29, dating Browne since his ex-wife, Jenna Renee Webbs, accused him of assaulting her in July 2015. “When he hits you across your pretty face don't worry, I'll be right here to say #IToldYouSo I wish you both the best #yourewelcome #hyprocrite #thankyou #DNB,” the fitness model wrote at the time.

Browne denied the assault accusations. There was no police investigation.

Friday’s UFC 207 against Amanda Nunes is Rousey’s chance to win back her title after she lost it to Holly Holm at UFC 193 last year. While many are hoping for her to dominate, ex-boyfriend Brendan Schaub isn’t so sure about Rousey’s mental state.

The former Olympian took a break from the media after Holm defeated her, tarnishing Rousey's unblemished record. “What scares me about Ronda, she went MIA, she blamed it on the media. Well, that same media turned you into who you are and her taking this time off, it’s a little scary,” he said on the “Pony Hour” podcast Tuesday, according to the New York Post. “She also said something like this is one of my last ones, and whenever a fighter even hints that this might be the last one, they’re one foot in, one foot out, or both feet out.”

“When they say that, they get annihilated, and if I hear that, I always take the other guy.”
