Ronda Rousey confirms engagement to UFC fighter Travis Browne

Ronda Rousey will be tying the knot soon. The 30-year-old has recently announced that she's engaged to fellow Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) talent Travis Brown.

The 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in judo revealed she and her boyfriend of two years are finally getting married. Browne popped the question while they were in a New Zealand vacation last week, according to TMZ. Browne said he proposed under a waterfall because "it felt like the right place to do it."

The pair were spotted out and about earlier this week as Rousey showed off her massive diamond ring. Rousey revealed she hopes the wedding will happen soon, but also admitted that she does not know much about planning for a wedding. The UFC star went on to reveal that she is currently keeping an open mind about the date of her wedding.

"I'm very happy for Ronda and I'm looking forward to the wedding!" UFC president Dana White said about the pair's engagement.

Rousey rose to superstardom when she was on her way to building her 12–0 MMA record. Along the way, she won both the Strikeforce and UFC bantamweight titles — making her a household name in the cage fighting industry. The attention she received from mainstream media opened a lot of doors for her outside the Octagon. Despite her lack of any background in acting, Rousey earned roles in several feature films including "Furious 7" and "The Expendables 3." She also got a chance to host NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

Browne, on the other hand, has continued to be active in the Octagon. The heavyweight fighter has lost three straight bouts recently — the most recent being his loss against Derrick Lewis earlier this year.
