33-year-old UFC heavyweight Travis Browne is currently separated from his wife, who accused him of domestic abuse via social media after Brown and Rousey appeared in the background of a photo taken at a Benihana.The UFC conducted a third-party investigation in August and found that there was no conclusive evidence, and Browne's wife never filed formal charges.
The photo seemed harmless (apart from Brown's "I'm so busted" facial expression), but it was enough to start the MMA rumor mill. Still, since the photo surfaced on the Internet, both UFC stars have kept quiet about the status of their relationship—until today when Browne finally broke the news on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.When asked if he was dating his Glendale Fighting Club teammate, Travis answered,"Dating is for children. Dating is for kids. Over the summer, through all the shit that I had to shuffle through, that I had to sift through, Ronda and I started talking throughout the summer and I'll say now that we are together. She's my woman and I'm her man. There's no boyfriend, girlfriend stuff. There's no dating. We're together."He went on to insist that dating a fellow fighter, especially one he trains side-by-side with will distract either of them, and pointed out that they had known each other for a while before getting together.Watch the entire discussion (starting at 1:26:15) below:
