Rousey appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and spoke about her loss. While in the hospital for sustaining injuries after the match, she said that "without the championship she is nothing. No one will care about her." Her boyfriend ultimately got her through that moment. She realized that she wants to be with him the rest of her life. Rousey told DeGeneres that she intends to return to the octagon in a rematch against Holm. Rousey says that everyone picks themselves up and continues to fight. She claims that she went through many ordeals to get where she is at in her career and her life. Her longtime trainer told ESPN that Rousey returned to her gym for training last month.
It's scary to think that arguably the best female fighter in the world had thoughts of suicide right after she lost her bantamweight championship. Her defeat to Holm really ate her alive. She hasn't been the same since. Rousey is a role model to all the women who struggle to be the best. She represents all the women who fight each day to better their lives and accomplish things for themselves. She realized that killing herself would affect everyone, from her family and friends to the people who look up to her. Plus committing suicide is never the solution; there is always a way out.
Wow! That is so scary and so sad that the loss brought her down that low. I am glad she got through this.
