Who would have thought that one could find romance in the up-and-down, rough-and-tumble world of fighting?

Fighters tend to enjoy dating other fighters; maybe it’s the fact that it’s a tough lifestyle for a non-fighter to adjust to, with long hours of training and travel that just makes it easy to date someone of common interest.

Whatever the reason, fighters and other big-name personalities surrounding the sport have coupled up more often than you think, so here are the 10 hottest couples in MMA:

10. Travis Browne & Ronda Rousey

Perhaps these two could be higher on the list, but these two aren’t active in MMA at the current time.

But Rousey was once MMA royalty, so by extension “Hapa” was one half of MMA’s hottest power couple.

Although they ultimately found love, things took an unexpected turn when the two took their talents to Glendale Fighting Club. Under Edward Tarverdyan’s tutelage, Browne and Rousey began losing fights consistently, and “Rowdy” couldn’t mentally handle defeat. “Hapa,” too, is on the worst skid of his MMA and UFC career and has been violently finished in all of his recent losses.

Now, Ronda is in the WWE and Browne has still yet to fight or have a fight scheduled since his last defeat to Oleksiy Oliynyk in July 2017.

Kerry Vera Could Return to MMA Early 2012

Filed under: ,

After over two years on the sidelines, Kerry Vera will look to return to the cage in early 2012, says her husband and UFC light heavyweight Brandon.

Vera (2-0) made her Strikeforce debut in November 2009, putting on a kickboxing clinic in a dominant win over Kim Couture. She then seemingly disappeared from the MMA scene, but now, according to Brandon, is working her way back to active competition.
“Kerry actually just started training two-and-a-half weeks ago,” Brandon said Monday on The MMA Hour. “She blew out her knee and when she blew out her knee, she fractured her spine, her o4, o5. It’s a super small hairline fracture. They couldn’t do any surgical procedures on it.”

Brandon said since no procedure was possible, all Kerry could do was wait for the year to a year-and-a-half for her spine injury to heal. Brandon guesstimates that Kerry is now 96% and is looking to return early next year, “maybe February-March.” Kerry remains under contract with Strikeforce.

“She’s so excited about training again, getting back in there and getting some,” Brandon said. “She watches all the girl fights. Yeah, she’s amped. She’s super, super excited to get back in [the cage].”
