It was about this time that Rousey reportedly returned to training - which proved timely. What do I do anymore?’ and ‘No one gives a s**t about me any more without this’.”
“I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself, and that exact second I’m like, ‘I’m nothing. “Honestly, my thought, I was in the medical room and I was down in the corner, and I was like, ‘What am I any more if I’m not this?’” Rousey said. Rousey revealed that her downfall as an all-conquering MMA superhero had led to suicidal thoughts. She then opened up to Ellen DeGeneres in a bombshell interview in February. “And I just wanted to take a minute to sincerely congratulate her.”Īs the crowd applauded, she snapped (as part of the act): “That’s enough!” “This is the first time I’m talking to my fans since I lost to Holly Holm in November, which, by the way, was a fight Holly deserved to win,” Rousey said. The fallen champion went to ground after her shocking loss, before hosting an episode of Saturday Night Live in January. She hid her face as she arrived back in the US. Rousey suffered a badly cut lip thanks to the savage head kick that dropped her to the canvas, needing emergency plastic surgery to fix it. The invincible Rousey was bloodied and beaten for the first time, with Holm the new champion via a brutal Round 2 knockout. Yet by the afternoon of November 15, the UFC world had been turned upside down. It sent the card into a different stratosphere, with Rousey the promotion’s undisputed biggest star at that stage (the Conor McGregor phenomenon was yet to fully explode). Then, a bombshell: Rousey was the new headliner. It proved to be one of the greatest fights ever seen in the Octagon - but it happened at UFC 195, because Lawler (who ultimately defended his title with a split-decision win) suffered a broken thumb ahead of UFC 193 and the bout was postponed. It was an excellent fight, though one that excited UFC diehards far more than casuals. Carlos Condit as the original main event. It came up with welterweight champion Robbie Lawler vs.
Given Etihad Stadium could fit such a massive crowd, the UFC promised a major attraction for UFC 193.
