So when Lewis fell prey to a TKO loss at the hands of Mark Hunt at UFC Fight Night 110, Browne used the occasion to criticize his former foe for laying false accusations against him.
In an Instagram post, 'Hapa' laid fire on Lewis for his comments regarding the domestic violence accusations. The 40-year-old even called out Lewis for a rematch:
"You say you have the most heart in the division, but I just watched you quit... You bought up false news about me that affected my family... I hope your family isn't affected by false accusations or false news like mine was... My home is heaven on Earth... We know you don't have the heart but if you have the balls... I'm down to run it back."
Browne last stepped into the cage as a professional in his July 2017 submission loss to Alexey Oleynik at UFC 213. Despite never formally announcing a retirement, his partner Ronda Rousey has also not fought in MMA for almost six years.
