Ronda Rousey, a prominent figure in mixed martial arts, made a sensational return to the sport by defeating Gina Carano in just 17 seconds on May 16, 2026. Standing by her side is her husband, Travis Browne, a former UFC heavyweight fighter from Hawaii, who competed in the sport from 2010 to 2017. Known for his impressive height of 6-foot-7, Browne gained recognition for his powerful fighting style, achieving notable victories but never securing a UFC title.

Rousey and Browne's relationship began around 2015 when they met in the UFC. Their bond deepened quickly, leading to Browne's proposal at a picturesque waterfall in New Zealand in April 2017. They married a few months later on August 26, 2017, in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii. Together, they focus on family life, raising their two daughters, La’akea and Liko’ula, while Browne also has two sons from a previous relationship. Since retiring, Browne has remained active in the combat sports community through podcasting and wellness projects, supporting Rousey during her remarkable comeback in MMA.
