Browne, who was investigated over the summer for alleged domestic abuse, will be back in the Octagon against Matt Mitrione at UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz on Jan. 17 in Boston, it was announced Wednesday on UFC Tonight.
Browne (17-3) is coming off a first-round knockout loss to Andrei Arlovski at UFC 187 in May. He was accused by his wife of domestic violence in July, but the UFC stated last month that a third-party law firm had not found any conclusive evidence of any abuse. The 33-year-old Hawaii native has only lost twice since 2012 and was in line for a title shot had he beaten Fabricio Werdum in April 2014.
