Now that Ronda Rousey is going steady with Travis Browne, it looks like she is using him to feel stable before her upcoming fight November 2015 against Holly Holm. Seeing how Ronda did just fine before Travis Browne rolled along, the crowd has no doubt that the undefeated Ronda Rousey is ready to bring down Holly Holm in downunder Australia.
But that doesn't mean that Holly Holm is ready to get dispensed quietly. According to Los Angeles Times, Holly Holm did her best to deflate Ronda's ego. She said to the press, "So she's basically saying, 'If I win...,' so she's got that thought in her head, which is awesome. With a win, I'll be able to handle it. The win is what I care about."
The 34-year-old fighter added, "I don't know how much she really wants to box. She's improved a lot ... but everyone has their go-to ... natural habits. I expect her to come hard."
Ronda Rousey has a lot of drama surrounding her so it's about time that she got some positive PR. With the drama about her mother publicly disapproving her coach Edmond Tarverdyan, the UFC champion has even let her boyfriend speak up about their relationship to turn the public's head.
Travis Browne spoke to New York Post about his relationship with one of the most successful MMA fighters and he went straight to the point. He said, "Over the summer, through all the s-t 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."
Looks like Travis Browne is getting possessive of her. Let's hope that he is ready to step back for her fight in November 2015.
The fact that Ronda Rousey's mom has been kicking up dust about her daughter's MMA coach Edmond Tarverdyan meant that the UFC champion had to do some damage control. With the scathing remark that her mom AnnMaria said about her coach, Ronda Rousey may have to make some hard choices in terms of choosing her team.
According to Fox Sports, Ronda's mom said, "If you read in Ronda's book... [Tarverdyan] didn't give her the time of day. And he has had that exact same pattern with many women in the gym and I have seen it with my own eyes, where they train there and it's basically a waste of their time. And they're talked to in a way that just makes my jaw drop."
She added that "All I did was say publicly what people have been whispering for years, but no one had the balls to speak up because Edmond is like that gatekeeper to Ronda."
With a bomb like that dropped on coach Edmond Tarverdyan, Ronda might have to choose between her mom and her coach pretty soon. Maybe her boyfriend Travis Browne has some advice for her!
