Ronda Rousey Considered Suicide After Loss To Former Boxing Champ Holly Holm

[Damn Wicked]

This b*tch wanted to commit suicide.
You don't have to lift a finger Rhonda. Holly will put you out of your misery for good if you choose to fight her again.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

We place way too much emphasis on a loss these days. It's just part of the game. There's no shame at all in taking a loss to a very good fighter.

The problem is that some fighters get hyped so much and transcend the sport, crossing over into mainstream culture without even really proving anything against other good fighters. Once they start believing that hype and then get completely outclassed, it's very difficult to handle because the whole world is watching you get exposed and showing everybody you are not what they thought. It must be difficult to handle.

Well put.

Rousey needs to bounce back too. That's what true greats do. Does she really want the last image of her in this sport she dominated for so long, is her being knocked flat on her back unconscious by an underdog, despite still being her prime? I don't think anybody would.

She's trying to get people to feel sorry for her. She's pathetic.

Maybe but I sense there's some authenticity behind this rather than some attempt to manipulate emotions with tears (which some women are experts at doing so you never know).. Lots of fighters who suffer their first loss have fleeting feelings of suicide because of the devastation and humiliation they feel in defeat so it certainly isn't out of the realms of possibility. Might be an honest account of what a lot of fighters feel in this situation.. Just most fighters wouldn't publicly admit it.. Who knows for sure..

Her father committed suicide, and she has been an advocate against suicide. She's also bashed Floyd for domestic violence, yet her boyfriend has done the same thing. She's an obvious hypocrite

Rousey is done as a top fighter. Her confidence is shot. The first time Holly lands a straight left against her she will crumble. This is why Noone should ever believe in their own hype.

Holm has been knocked dead before and she bounced back strong. I will respect Rousey if she does the same.

She better hope Tate beats Holm (which is possible) because I don't see Rousey having a shotat beating Holm now seeing how mentally broken she is.

Agreed she'll never be the same fighter again she'll be hesitant now and end up getting koed again

[LetOutTheCage]

So much this, her ego was getting ridiculous. Holm gave Rousey a cold hard truth - she claimed she could get into boxing and become a champion. I wonder if the fanboy's still think she could beat Mayweather or Pacquiao?

Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey says she thought about killing herself in the immediate aftermath of her knockout loss to Holly Holm in November.

Rousey, 29, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday and spoke openly about her loss at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia. The championship fight ended when Rousey went down in a highlight-reel knockout after a kick to the head from Holm. Rousey was transported to a local hospital afterward.

"Honestly, my thought in the medical room, I was sitting in the corner and was like, 'What am I anymore if I'm not this?'" Rousey said. "Literally sitting there thinking about killing myself. In that exact second, I'm like, 'I'm nothing. What do I do anymore? No one gives a s--- about me anymore without this.'"

Rousey said her relationship with her boyfriend, UFC heavyweight Travis Browne, was ultimately what got her through that moment.

"I looked up and saw my man, Travis, was standing there," Rousey said. "I'm looking up at him and was just like, 'I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.'"

A former Olympic bronze medalist in judo, Rousey (12-1) told DeGeneres -- as she told ESPN in December -- that she intends to return to the Octagon in a rematch against Holm, a former world boxing champion.

"It's always crazy going into every fight," Rousey said. "It's always so much chaos, so much going on. Things weren't perfect, they never are. One thing that was different was it was my third title fight in nine months. I don't think anyone has even attempted that before. I don't make excuses. I've fought in worse conditions, but I think one thing that was different was I felt tired -- but I've been more tired."



Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes successfully defended the title three times in eight months in 2002, and Tito Ortiz did the same in a seven-month span in 2001.

Holm (10-0) is scheduled to defend the 135-pound title at UFC 196 on March 5 in Las Vegas.

"I did a lot of thinking on, why did this happen?" Rousey said. "I do believe all the best things come from the worst things. The worst things result in the absolute best things. I was trying to think, what is the reason for this and what my actual purpose is -- and maybe just winning all the time isn't what's best for everybody.

"I felt like maybe my role is, everyone has their moment of picking themselves off the floor. I've gone through several of mine, but no one had ever seen me go through it. Maybe I just needed to be that example of picking myself off the floor for everyone. Maybe that's what I'm meant for. I really do believe I'm still undefeated because being undefeated is a choice. Everybody has losses in their life, but I choose to always be undefeated."

Rousey's longtime trainer Edmond Tarverdyan told ESPN in January that the former champion had returned to her gym in Glendale, California. Rousey had previously said she would like to fight sometime in 2016. UFC president Dana White believes Rousey could return in November.

bruh there's a thread already in the lounge
