John Fosco; manager of UFC(Ultimate Fighting Championship) heavyweight fighter Travis Browne defends him with ‘full confidence’ stating that all the allegations by Jenna Renee accusing the fighter of domestic violence seem to be untrue and this is just a cheap shot on Travis.
Ex-living girlfriend Jenna Renee had recently uploaded bruised pictures of herself on Instagram blaming it on Travis Browne (aka ‘Hapa’) which was noticed by UFC resulting into complicated situations for the fighter.
During this cat and mouse chase which kept everyone in UFC including the fans confused, UFC’s spokesman David Sholler stated that Travis will not be participating in this week's International Fight Week activities while a personal investigation remains ongoing.

Well, this was predicted as UFC takes domestic violence very seriously. Although Travis has been calm throughout, his manager John Fosco speaks on his behalf saying that they are prepared to comply with UFC’s investigation and Travis is sure to come out clean.
"UFC has been communicating with me and they've made it very clear that they take domestic abuse very seriously, as they should," Fosco said. "From our end we are ready and almost excited to comply with the independent investigation that they have.”
Further making matters clear for Travis’ fans regarding the absence of Travis in this week’s events John said, "Travis was not dismissed or anything from fight week. There was a conversation that was had and with fans being here in Vegas and with all this stuff being unclear and what is the take, we are all in agreement that Travis should go home. And because domestic violence -- Travis feels is such a serious issue and so do I - -it's like, okay, this has to be handled the right way.”
John Fosco also spoke with Jenna Renne and her father to understand what exactly this situation is all about which seem very much to be in his favour.
"I had a conversation with Jenna and her father this morning and I wanted to get their perspective because if there is something I didn't know about, I want to know about it. What I did hear is she never filed a police report; she never went to the police. If there was abuse, I think everybody would encourage everybody to go to the police. If Travis Browne, 6'7," 250 pounds, is going to abuse you, you are probably going to have to go to the hospital, but apparently there were no hospital visits.”
Surprisingly, Fosco was backed up by Browne’s ex-wife and mother of his children Erin Brown. Fosco says that the fact Erin commented on the issue voluntarily is again a proof of the allegations being untrue. Her exact words as per Fosco were: “I know the father of my two children. He's never laid a hand on me. That is not the kind of man he is.”
His arguments seem legit since no complaints were filed and this serious issue- keeping Browne’s image and career on stake- was just raised on Instagram. But since the facts are not clear yet, Fosco said " We don't have anything negative to say about her (Jenna Renee). It's confusing. It's frustrating.”
Fosco holds Travis in high regard and is hence sure that this is just a bump in ‘Hapa’s’ career and they both will cross it.
