LOS ANGELES — UFC heavyweight Travis Browne is eager to get back in the cage in hopes of snapping a three-fight losing streak when he fights Oleksiy Oliynyk on the UFC 213 card at T-Mobile Arena on July 8.

Browne recounted the tense moments leading up to the proposal, which took place under a waterfall in New Zealand earlier this year.
