Ronda Rousey contemplated suicide following Holly Holm loss

Ronda Rousey was so broken by being knocked out by Holly Holm last year that the fighter said she had thoughts of suicide following the bout. The star fighter made that shocking claim during an emotional interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that airs Tuesday.
“In the medical room, I was down in the corner, I was sitting in the corner and I was like ‘what am I anymore if I’m not this?'” Rousey said as DeGeneres passed her a tissue. “And I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself in that exact second, I’m nothing. Like what do I do anymore? And no one gives an (expletive) about me anymore without this.”
Rousey's quick finishes and sheer dominance in her previous fights catapulted her to the top of popular culture. She landed film roles, magazine covers, endorsement deals and helped push mixed martial arts into the mainstream. But on the night of Nov. 15, Holm brutally halted much of Rousey’s momentum that was built upon her perceived invincibility.
It was assumed that she thought it was the end of the world when she lost. In fact, those assumptions may have been closer to the truth than we imagined.
