1:09 PM PT -- Travis' manager John Fosco tells TMZ Sports ... the UFC fighter adamantly denies the allegations saying all claims of domestic violence are completely false.

Fosco says they believe Jenna is simply trying to smear Travis' name -- after finding out that Travis recently cheated on her with another woman.

Fosco says the decision to pull the fighter from UFC Fight Week activities was mutual -- and he's "happy" the organization is running an investigation.

"This is part of being in the public eye and we’ll just have to deal with it”

The UFC has pulled fighter Travis Browne from UFC 189 Fight Week activities after his wife claimed he beat her up ... and posted pics to prove it.

Browne's wife, Jenna Renee Webb posted graphic and disturbing photos on her Instagram page showing brutal injuries she claims she suffered when Browne attacked her.

FYI -- Browne is 6'7", 236 pounds and has a record of 17-3-1.

We spoke with Webb who tells us the incident went down back in February -- but claims she DID NOT and WILL NOT go to police ... instead, Webb says she plans to divorce Browne and move on.

"I did what I felt in my heart that I had to do to deliver a message to other people that are being abused and other people that he may potentially abuse in the future," Webb says.

"I do not plan on pressing charges. I’ve prayed for a long time that he would become a better person, and I will continue to pray for him in hopes that he can make changes and salvage a life for him and his boys."

Attempts to reach Browne for comment have been unsuccessful.

UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer's husband allegedly tossed her around like a rag doll and choked her so brutally -- he's been rung up for attempted murder ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The massive fight went down at the couple's L.A. home on the evening of June 11 ... when Brittney and Aaron Zalewski got into an argument. He had previously overheard a casting agent call her "babe" over the phone, and allegedly went ballistic.

In docs obtained by TMZ Sports ... LAPD says things got physical when they wrestled for her phone -- Zalewski noticed she was recording the argument, and during the struggle he threw Palmer, and she hit her head on a bedpost.

Brittney told cops Zalewski yelled, "Pack your f**king bags and go!" -- but wouldn't let her leave. She says he threw her down again -- pinning her face down on a mattress, with his knee in her back. She says she struggled to breathe for 2 minutes while he held her down.

And there's this -- Brittney says during the fight Zalewski scratched his own arms and yelled ... "Why are you making me do this? I just wanted you to love me."

When Brittney finally escaped the house, she called police ... around 1:25 AM on June 12. Cops arrived and busted Zalewski for attempted murder, spousal battery, and criminal threats.

Squats do a body good.

Here's UFC star Miesha Tate ... showing off her dangerous derriere ... in a recent pic from Brazil.

BTW, she's dating fellow UFC stud Bryan Caraway ... who's currently training for a big fight at UFC on FOX later this month.

Paige VanZant doesn't seem to be afraid of anything ... except when it comes to confirming that she's OFFICIALLY dating a fellow UFC fighter -- though it's pretty obvious it's on and crackin'.

VanZant was out in NYC when we just had to ask her about UFC rising star Cody Garbrandt -- who she's been hanging out with A LOT recently.

In fact, they recently had a movie date night together ... and she made him her "Man Crush Monday" just two weeks ago.

Check out the clip -- Paige gets all adorably flustered when we mention Cody's name ... and plays coy when we ask if the two are a real deal item.

Good news for the UFC ... its biggest star is finally "getting his head straight" ... and a former WWE superstar is looking like an "absolute stud" during his transition into MMA ... so says Dana White.

First, Jon Jones ... he's essentially been off the grid since his April arrest for hit and run in New Mexico -- an incident where cops say they found weed in Jon's car.

But when we saw Dana White at a UFC/Reebok event NYC moments ago, the UFC honcho told us he's quietly doing all the right things to get his life back in order in and out of the octagon.

As for C.M. Punk ... the ex-WWE superstar is "looking phenomenal" during his training. White says he's a beast in the making. Stay tuned on that one ...

White also had some advice for Ken Shamrock ... RETIRE!!!!

"Ken you're 53. Time to hang it up."

Age ain't nothin' but a number to Herschel Walker -- 'cause the NFL-turned-MMA-fighter tells TMZ Sports he's strongly considering getting back in the ring ... AT 53 YEARS OLD!!!!!

Walker is 2-0 is his MMA career ... but the last time he got in the ring was back in 2011 when he was 48.

Still, when we saw Walker in NYC yesterday, he assured us he's still training hard and staying in shape ... telling us when it comes to fighting again, "Don't rule it out! Herschel Walker may be fighting again soon."

#BadAss

UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum unleashed a featherweight version of a leg kick on an MMA reporter ... and it was still enough to send him to the ground in agony.

Aaron Tru has a history of allowing people to beat the hell out of him for no reason (check out the Ronda Rousey clip below) and this time he allowed Werdum -- who stands at 6'4" and weighs 232 pounds -- to kick him in the back of the leg.

It goes about how you would expect ... with Tru laid out in agony ... despite the fact Werdum claims he only used 40% of his strength.

Seems like he used 39% more than he needed to.

Ronda Rousey might be the greatest car salesperson EVER ... because she just sold her broken, beat up, dirty Honda Accord for roughly 4 TIMES it's actual value!!!

The UFC superstar (along with her sponsor Armbar Nation) was auctioning off her '05 Accord on eBay -- a car that has a broken transmission, 156,000 miles and is filled with a bunch of Ronda's old crap.

It also features a personal signed note from Ronda, thanking the car for its loyal service as she fought her way to the top of the fight game.

The professionals say the car SHOULD be worth between $4k and $5k ... but it just sold to the highest bidder ... for $21,300!!!!

Ronda tells TMZ Sports, "I'll miss the worn in feeling you get from like a favorite pair of jeans or shoes you've had for years that molded to you perfectly."

So far, the identity of the buyer has not been revealed -- but Rousey has made it very clear, she hopes the new owner isn't just some crazy wack job.

He's a martial arts expert ... but Jackie Chan says he's NEVER heard of MMA superstar Ronda Rousey.

Weird, considering Chan is also an action film buff ... and Ronda's been blowing up with roles in "The Expendables 3" and "Furious 7."

In fact, when Chan was cruisin' through Beverly Hills yesterday -- he told us he's still making MORE action flicks ... including "Rush Hour 4" -- and was having dinner with Chris Tucker to talk about the project.

She'd probably beat his ass in the end, but Ronda Rousey says she AGREES with Shaquille O'Neal -- that he could probably last 45 seconds in the Octagon before getting him to tap out.

Shaq made the prediction on "Inside the NBA" last week -- saying, "It's not a joke! I could last 45 seconds!"

So, when we saw Ronda at LAX this weekend -- we had to ask how she felt about the situation ... and she explains why Shaq is 100% correct.

BTW -- here's the tale of the tape:

Shaquille O'Neal:
Height -- 7'1"
Weight -- 325 lbs

Ronda Rousey
Height -- 5'7"
Weight -- 135 lbs

Bonus -- we also asked Rousey about the guy who tested a new "bulletproof cup" that some men could be wearing in MMA in the near future.

Here's that video, too ...

The Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight was so bad, it actively HURT the sport of boxing ... but it was GREAT for the UFC ... so says UFC octagon announcer Bruce Buffer.

Buffer -- the voice of the UFC -- was brutally honest about the fallout from the bout that was supposed to be the fight of the century ... saying it was a HUGE flop.

"When you create something with so much hype, you have to deliver. And if you don't deliver, then instead of getting a shot in the arm, you get a shot in the leg."

"That night was really a shot in the leg for boxing in my opinion and a shot in the arm for UFC."

So, why was it so great for the UFC? Check out the clip.

BONUS -- Buffer also addressed criticisms from people who say UFC fighters are underpaid ... saying Dana White has done a helluva lot to make sure the checks are bigger than ever.

Buffer also mentions how much Rampage Jackson got paid for his first fight back in the day ... and the number is pretty shocking!!!

Ronda Rousey doesn't want her pal David Spade worrying about her getting into WWE, and took a few moments to let him -- and all her fans -- know why she's determined to wrestle, and why it's low risk ... for her.

Ronda was leaving a book signing Thursday night when we asked her about Spade's comment that she should quit pining for pro wrestling ... because she might get hurt and screw up her UFC career.

Watch ... Ronda not only explains why she's still determined to return to the WWE, but also smacks down Spade's concerns. As she puts it ... she's more likely to stub a toe at home, than get injured while wrestling.

David Spade thinks Ronda Rousey should say buh-bye to all WWE action for the sake of her career -- but he's got a theory about why she keeps pushing to be a pro wrestler.

Spade -- who's a big fan of the UFC and Ronda -- was out in L.A. when he told us what he thought about Ronda saying she's down to be the next big thing in turnbuckle tussling.

FYI -- the WWE has a long history of having MASSIVE stars from the combat fighting world throw down with them, including Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali himself.

David says Ronda would be taking a "backwards" move if she followed in those footsteps. As for why she wants to do it -- he thinks it has a lot to do with how much ass she's kicking in the Octagon.

He just had surgery to repair his busted elbow last week, but UFC badass Anthony Pettis refused to let some stupid cast stop him from doing what he loves ... FIGHTING WRINKLES!!

Turns out, Pettis is a partner in a skin care company called Seacret -- which sells products infused with Dead Sea minerals that "help reduce fine lines and other imperfections on your face."

And Anthony is so passionate about the stuff, he hit up a seminar in Phoenix, AZ to promote the line ... just one week after reportedly having surgery to fix a torn muscle and ligaments in his right elbow.

One person who was at the seminar tells us ... Pettis told the group he vows to come back stronger than ever and battle his way back to the top of the fight game.

At the very least ... his skin will probably look good.

Ronda Rousey eats chicken wings. Boxer Danny Garcia immediately has sex. But Daniel Cormier says he has a different post-fight ritual planned for UFC 187 ... he's going to Mariah!!!

Since the UFC star is set to take on Rumble Johnson in Vegas this weekend ... Cormier says he plans on taking in a local show the night after the fight -- and he picked Mariah over Britney and Celine!

But Cormier says he's not usually a "Diva" kind of guy -- admitting he's OBSESSED with Boyz II Men ... and has basically become a regular at their shows!!!

Cormier's not joking ... he's a bona fide B2M'er ... and he's damn proud of it.

Check out the clip.

UFC superstar Anderson Silva tells TMZ Sports ... Jon Jones should NOT return to the Octagon ... instead, saying Bones needs to focus on fixing his life outside the ring.

The Spider explained that he LOVES Jones (the two have been friends for years) but says he has a message for the embattled fighter -- "You need to change everything in your life."

It's been a rough year for Jon ... he's been suspended by the UFC indefinitely after being charged with felony hit and run ... just months after testing positive for cocaine.

Meantime, Silva is also currently suspended .... after testing positive for PEDs before his UFC 183 victory over Nick Diaz.

But Anderson says he is already putting together some post-fight career plans ... plans that could have him working with Sylvester Stallone.
