Ronda Rousey opens up about having suicidal thoughts after Holly Holm knocked her out
UFC fighter Ronda Rousey opened up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday about her stunning November loss to Holly Holm. In the immediate aftermath of getting knocked out, Rousey said she had suicidal thoughts.
"I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself, and that exact second I'm like, 'I'm nothing. What do I do anymore? And no one gives a shit about me anymore without this,'" Rousey said. "To be honest, I looked up and I saw my man Travis was standing up there, and I looked up at him and I was like, 'I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.'"
