Browne is a former UFC fighter, having retired from the sport in 2017. Growing up, martial arts was not his primary sport, as he explained toUFCin 2011.

“I didn’t start doing any kind of martial arts until I was 23 or 24 and that was when I started playing jiu-jitsu,” he said. “Before that I played basketball and I was always an athlete coming up but I wasn’t into any one-on-one sports, it was always team sports.”

After discovering jiu-jitsu, Browne then began to transition into mixed martial arts and it wasn’t long before the sport became his main focus.

“I started doing kickboxing, standup and all that kind of stuff, and then I started putting it all together, so that’s when I started fighting in MMA,” he continued. “I played the 2, 3 and 4 position so the guard, shooting forward and power forward, and I played one year in college. Then I just stopped going to school, which I regret doing, but it’s led me to where I am now.”

Since retiring, Browne has been busy with other endeavors, including his podcastTough Business.

The former UFC fighter co-hosts the show, which is described as “a raw, rough, real, small business survival guide,” with entrepreneur John Fosco. He and Fosco give business and life advice to their listeners, and Browne often promotes the show on his Instagram.

He’s from Hawaii

Browne was born and raised in Hawaii, and isvery proud of his Hawaiian roots. While speaking with UFC in 2011, he discussed his upbringing.

“I was born in Oahu, Hawaii, and for me it was a typical childhood, but I was a little rough around the edges,” he said. “We had very little supervision growing up, so we were able to do pretty much what we wanted to do as kids. Growing up in a Hawaiian household that’s a toddler’s dream."

He added: “It’s like you’re being raised in a village with all your aunts and uncles, and your cousins are always around, so there’s always that family feeling you get.”
