While fellow UFC champion Conor McGregor was battling Floyd Mayweather in the ring, Ronda Rousey was having a big moment of her own. The movie star and fighter married her longtime boyfriend in a private ceremony in Hawaii.
Rousey married Travis Browne on Saturday night. Browne posted the first real picture of the wedding showing the two wide-eyed and smiling as they walk hand-in-hand together.
“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,” he wrote on Instagram.

People notes that another image of Rousey on her wedding day comes from the account of her friend Michael Mardones who shared a snap of he and her beaming with big smiles.
“Congrats to Ronda and Travis. Incredible wedding. Blessed and thankful to have been there for it.”
