Following a crushing loss to Holly Holm on Nov. 14 that left her unconscious and hospitalized, Ultimate Fighting Championship superstar Ronda Rousey has finally spoken out in an interview. Rousey had been undefeated up until this point. Less than 24 hours after her defeat, Rousey took to Instagram to say: “I just wanted to thank everyone for the love and support. I appreciate the concerns about my health, but I’m fine. As I had mentioned before, I’m going to take a little bit of time, but I’ll be back.”
After the fight, Rousey suffered a severe cut to the lip and a few damaged teeth due to Holm’s kick to the face. “I’m really f—ing sad,” she stated after her loss.
Regarding the possibility of a rematch, Holm stated: “I think a rematch makes sense for sure. I’ve been on a losing side of a fight and I wanted the rematch; I wanted to avenge my loss. With a champion like Ronda who has gone out of her way, above and beyond to do great things, absolutely she deserves a rematch.”
