What Ronda Rousey’s Husband Travis Browne Really Does For A Living

When Travis Browne met wife-to-be Ronda Rousey in 2015, he himself was already an esteemed figure in the realm of mixed martial arts. Carving out an impressive career in the heavyweight division, Browne’s prowess in the Octagon has earned him a loyal following among fans of the sport. Jumpstarting his professional career in 2009, Browne signed with the UFC in 2015. Quickly making a name by winning his first consecutive nine bouts, he only lost one of his first 18 professional matches. A serious title contender at one point, Browne was listed at no. 5 in June 2015’s official UFC Heavyweight rankings. Upon retiring in 2018, Browne’s record stood at 18 wins and 7 losses, with his last win being in January 2016 against Matt Mitrione.

Just as he is her source of constant support and comfort, Rousey is her husband’s biggest fan. “My personal life is better than it’s ever been,” Browne told Hawaii’s Star-Advertiser amid a series of defeats in 2017. “Being with somebody who understands the game, being with somebody who’s there to support you as a partner in life instead of being that person who draws that energy out of you … I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for that,” Browne credited Rousey. The power couple also avoided competitiveness in their relationship. “That’s one thing we set up early on,” Browne said. “She [has] her own work. That’s her baby. What I do is my baby.”
