Travis Browne has spoken very little about domestic abuse charges his ex-wife filed, but recently opened up about the situation at a media lunch for UFC 200:
“Honestly, I feel a little betrayed,” Browne said, holding back tears. “If those are your reasons for lying, but then you don’t press charges, you don’t try to do things the right way. If any of you guys were here beating your wife and you have two kids, I swear to God, I will f*ck you up. And I would take your kids and take them from you.”
Browne, 33, said he felt like the media were unfair to him following the allegations and still doesn’t understand why Webb didn’t have to answer for the things she said.
“Why do I have to do all the talking?” Browne said. “All these places — TMZ and that stuff — ran stuff and not a single person asked questions. I’m a 6-foot-7, 250-pound man. I have two little boys at home and if I did the things I was accused of, you want those two boys being raised by me? Why wouldn’t you want them in my home? Why would you want me to have my career if that’s the kind of man I am?”
The Hawaii native, who is now dating UFC star Ronda Rousey, has made denials in written statements, but has not addressed Webb’s accusations publicly face to face until now. Browne believes he did the right thing by not speaking about it previously.
“It was hard to listen, to see what people were saying about me,” he said. “But at the same time, I know what I did and what I didn’t do. And I was able to sleep at night — no problem.
