Ronda Rousey says, and I quote, “I’m really f—ing sad,” about her loss to Holly Holm.
In fairness, I’d be sad too if I had been KO’d in front of my friends, family, spouse and millions watching on television. Rousey now has to pick up the pieces of her career and think about her comeback, which doesn’t seem to be on the horizon.
Rousey spoke with ESPN The Magazine for its “Ideas of the Year” issue and had this to say:
“It might be three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact.”
A crushing loss can do two things to a fighter, motivate them to get better at their craft or discourage them from fighting again. It seems as though the newly morose Rousey is leaning toward the latter.
