Undefeated UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has confirmed that she is dating fellow fighter Travis Browne.

Romance rumours have surrounded the pair since August after Browne's estranged wife alluded to the relationship on Twitter.

In a statement released to ESPN, Rousey put an end to the speculation by saying: "I don't talk about my personal life much. That's why it's called 'personal life'.

"It's true that Travis and I are in a relationship. I've really enjoyed the time we have spent together and getting to know one another, and that's all I'm going to say about it."

Browne also spoke about the relationship on Monday, telling MMAFighting.com: "She's my woman and I'm her man. There's no boyfriend-girlfriend stuff. There's no dating. We're together."

Two months ago, Browne's ex-partner accused the UFC heavyweight fighter of domestic violence, but following an independent investigation, the sportsman was cleared.
