It seems increasingly unlikely that Ronda Rousey will ever again wear a UFC title belt, but she now has another prized accessory: an engagement ring.

The former bantamweight champion said recently that she is set to marry her long-time boyfriend, UFC heavyweight Travis Browne.

Browne, 34, told TMZ Sports that he and Rousey, 30, got engaged about a week earlier under a waterfall in New Zealand. “It felt like the right place to do it,” he said.

In a video published by the website on Friday, Rousey showed off a sizable gemstone and said that the wedding would take place “soon.” She added, though, that she didn’t know “what goes into planning” such an event.

“It could be really easy – I don’t really want a lot,” she said. “I don’t really need decorations or flowers, just somewhere to go, something to eat and some people around.”

Browne had confirmed the relationship in October 2015, saying it began that summer. At the time, Rousey was the undefeated bantamweight champ and easily the UFC’s biggest star, having crossed over to Hollywood with roles in films such as The Expendables 3, Furious 7″and Entourage.
