Ronda Rousey’s meteoric rise in the UFC was met with a swift and harsh fall. After her first loss to Holly Holm, Rousey struggled to regain her footing, culminating in a brutal defeat to Amanda Nunes. In an interview with Chris Cuomo, Rousey expressed her disdain for the MMA media and fans who she believes criticized her unfairly after her losses.
Rousey’s setbacks had a severe impact on her mental health, prompting her to contemplate suicide. Despite her recovery, her second loss to Nunes apparently was too devastating for her to make a comeback to the UFC. Former icon Cris Cyborg has repeatedly challenged Rousey, but her recent comments suggest a return to the sport is unlikely.
