Here comes the bride.

UFC commissioner Dana White dropped a bombshell Friday, casually revealing that former women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will marry fiance and fellow fighter Travis Browne on Saturday - the day of the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor superfight.

"Rousey gets married tomorrow. Tomorrow is her wedding," White said on "The Rich Eisen Show," according to Alexander K. Lee of MMA Fighting.

"And she’s in a good place, she's really happy, and she hasn’t announced her retirement or anything like that. She's focusing on this wedding."

White only found out about the wedding in a conversation with Rousey on Friday, and initially told her he'd attend. But White reneged when Rousey revealed the wedding was Saturday.

Rousey and Browne announced their engagement in April, four months after her shocking, 48-second loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.
