AceShowbiz - Ronda Rousey is officially taken off the market. The 30-year-old female fighter exchanged wedding vows with fellow fighter Travis Browne, 35, in Hawaii. The groom broke the news on his Instagram. He shared a black-and-white picture of them as newlyweds.
"What an amazing day!! She is so perfect in every way! She makes me so happy! She is my other half! I Love You @rondarousey #browsey2017," Travis wrote in the caption. He and his new wife flashed big smiles as they took a stroll together while holding hands.
Ronda and Travis started dating in 2015. He proposed to her under a waterfall in New Zealand during a romantic getaway. Back in June, Ronda shared their plan for the wedding, "He's Hawaiian so we're gonna do kinda like a backyard, Mexican Corona party - but, like, in Hawaii."
During her chat with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest on "Live with Kelly and Ryan", she also revealed details of her engagement, "It was actually after heavy rain and we were under this waterfall. Apparently he had this whole speech prepared but it just went down into bullet points in the moment."
Ronda Rousey hasn't returned to the UFC ring since her two consecutive losses. She suffered her first loss to Holly Holm in November 2015. "I'm just really f**king sad," she told ESPN a month later. When asked about a possible rematch, she said, "It might be about three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact." She added, "Maybe I can't do it all before my prime, before my body is done. But f**k it, maybe I can."
In a 2016 chat with Ellen DeGeneres, she opened up on her suicidal thoughts. "I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second I'm like 'I'm nothing, what do I do anymore and no one gives a s**t about me anymore without this,' " she said. "To be honest I looked up and I saw my man Travis was standing up there and I looked up at him and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive."
She returned to the ring in December 2016 in a fight against Amanda Nunes, but she was defeated again. She was knocked out in just 48 seconds in her comeback fight. It's unclear when she will fight again but before her fight against Nunes, she told Ellen, "I'm wrapping it up. This is definitely one of my last fights. Everyone better watch because the show isn't going to be around forever."
