This week, the mixed martial arts (MMA) community was dealt the shocking revelation that former UFC women’s bantamweight Ronda Rousey actually considered suicide following her devastating knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 when the ultra-popular “Rowdy” revealed her formerly frail state in an emotional interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

There were understandably a mixed bag of reactions to the news, with some of her fans exhibiting compassion and understanding while others showed a cold and cruel lack of remorse in suggesting Rousey was only doing it for attention, and the MMA media justifiably wondered if she is truly ready to step back into the Octagon for the title rematch that is tentatively talked about for late this year.

Either way, it was tough for Rousey to find too much sympathy as a millionaire movie actress whether she has the belt or not, and prominent MMA figures like Holm and former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar spoke out to state that while they felt for Rousey, they didn’t necessarily feel that sorry for her.

It’s no doubt a shall we say, different, point of view from a once-dominant champion who, only four months ago was considered unstoppable and a candidate to retire undefeated as arguably the best fighter in UFC history. Now that that’s gone, however, all of the dynamics might suggest that Rousey won’t win the title again, and her mental state could certainly have a lot to do with that. Let’s take a look at the largest reasons why Rousey won’t regain her title.

Movie Delay Pushes Ronda Rousey’s UFC Return Back Even Further

Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans waiting for former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey’s return will unfortunately have to wait even longer.

After the previously dominant champ was knocked by Holly Holm at UFC 193, the general consensus was that “Rowdy” would return at the UFC’s July blockbuster UFC 200 to rematch Holm in an attempt to get her belt back. But when her featured role in the upcoming remake of “Road House” got in the way, Rousey’s comeback was delayed until late this year, and not many argued with that given the destructive nature of her loss.

That return has been pushed back even further, however, as Rousey revealed on a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon (via FOX Sports) that “Road House’s” filming has been delayed further, which in turn will delay her availability to fight. Rousey said that the film will “hopefully” now start filming this May, adding that she made a commitment to the project and will follow through on her word:

“Hopefully we’ll start around May. We’ll see. I promised that I would film “Road House” after the last fight,” Rousey said. “I made a promise and that’s it. My word means something so I’m going to go film “Road House” first.”

It’s clear that Rousey’s film career is burgeoning, with this role and the opcoming “Mile 22” with Mark Wahlberg in addition to her coined catchphrase “Do Nothing B*****s” with Tina Fey on the docket this year. Dana White has said that Rousey will most likely return around November, but if “Road House” doesn’t start filming until May or beyond, that would leave hardly enough of a timeframe to prepare for the toughest challenge of her career against the ultra-dangerous champ Holm.

Still, with Rousey declaring that she considered suicide in the aftermath of her knockout loss to “The Preacher’s Daughter,” perhaps some more time off is what’s best for Rousey, who is obviously still MMA’s biggest star.

However, her recent emotional statement coupled with her return being pushed back further and further is certainly cause for wonder and speculation to her ability to win back the belt, if she returns to fighting at all. Rousey assured fans that she would, however:

“Of course (there will be a rematch).”

Social media went nuts on Tuesday when former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she almost committed suicide following her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 by second-round KO.

Two UFC stars reacted to the news. First, the women who handed her the devastating defeat, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm, was interviewed and asked about Rousey’s comments. Holm explained that she’s not sorry for finishing Rousey and becoming the champion, but she feels her opponent’s pain.

“There’s a lot of things around that. When I heard that she said that, for me it’s one of those things it’s like, ‘How do I respond to that?’” Holm told Sherdog. “I don’t want to say I’m sorry because I think on a competitive level for me, if somebody was to say they’re sorry after [beating me], it’s like, ‘No, I’m a competitor.’ I’m not a charity case.”

“I hurt for her that she feels that way because that is a very low place. I did have a lot of help around me to where I did not feel that way,” Holm said. “People would say, ‘Oh it’s not the end of the world.’ I was like, ‘Well that’s exactly what it feels like, the end of the world.’”

“When you put your heart and soul into something and it gets shut down devastatingly, it’s terrible. It’s a horrible feeling.”

Then, former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar reacted to the news. Lesnar appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter Tuesday night to talk to Jonathan Coachman about WWE. During the interview, Lesnar was asked about Rousey. 

“I’m a big fan of Ronda’s and have been since the beginning,” Lesnar said. “I think one thing that I learned, and that she should have learned a long time ago, is that you have to learn how to lose before you can actually win. That was one thing that my coach taught me at a very young age because I was a bad loser. You’ve got to be able to get back on the horse.

Lesnar believes that Rousey will get back in the gym and figure out her mistakes that she made in the fight and come back better than ever.

“This life is very precious and very short, and one fight isn’t going to make or break her career. She’s just got to get back on the horse again and figure it out and she will.”

“She can do whatever she wants to do,” said Lesnar. “She’s proven that, but I think she’s got a lot on her plate. You can’t be a fighter and be in 10 movies a year. She’s going to have to step back and find out what Ronda wants to do moving forward.”

Rousey is expected to return to MMA later this year and has said in several interviews that she wants a rematch with Holm.

We almost lost one of the greatest MMA fighters of all-time. Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday that she almost committed suicide following her devastating loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193.

“I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second I’m like ‘I’m nothing, what do I do anymore and no one gives a s–t about me anymore without this.’

“To be honest, I looked up, and I saw my man Travis was standing up there, and I looked up at him, and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.”

Rousey is expected to return to the world famous Octagon later this year to fight the winner of Holly Holm – Miesha Tate at UFC 196.

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey took her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 hard. Rousey was KO’d with a head kick by Holm to not only lose her title, but it also broke her undefeated streak. Rousey, who said going into the fight that she wanted to retire undefeated, said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday (transcribed by the Daily Mail) that she almost committed suicide following the loss.

“I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second I’m like ‘I’m nothing, what do I do anymore and no one gives a s–t about me anymore without this.’

However, she changed her mind when she saw her boyfriend and fellow UFC fighter Travis Browne.

“To be honest, I looked up, and I saw my man Travis was standing up there, and I looked up at him, and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.”

Rousey revealed that she was hit so hard by Holm that she doesn’t remember most of the fight.

“In that first hit I cut open my whole mouth, and I knocked my teeth loose,” said Rousey on the show. “I knew she was out there, but like I really don’t remember most of it. So I was trying my best to kind of hide the fact that I wasn’t even there anymore.”

Now, on the positive side, Rousey is already back training. Rousey and UFC President Dana White has gone on record by saying that she would return to MMA late in 2016 due to her movie schedule.

It’s expected that if Holm can defeat Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 196, then she would fight Rousey this year.
