Ronda Rousey Says She Almost Killed Herself After Fight With Holly Holm

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.”

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.

You know what’s crazy? I read this headline and my immediate reaction was, makes sense. That’s the part of boxing/mma fighting that is unlike any other sport. In other sports you lose and you have another game the next day/week/whatever. In Boxing or MMA you’re fighting a few times a year and when you lose you LOSE. Getting knocked out cold in front of the entire world when up until that moment you thought you were completely invincible has to be a hell of an experience. Your entire belief system crumbling with one single punch. It’s why watching fighting is so exciting and thrilling. It’s why I said a few weeks backs that seeing what happens with Connor McGregor when he catches a good one in a championship fight will be fascinating. There’s a certain amount of swagger that Ronda Rousey will never ever get back no matter what. You get knocked out like that and a small part of you dies. Still taking Holm in the rematch, unless Ronda learns how to box in the next 6 months or Dana White pulls some shady shit I just don’t know how the fuck she defends herself. Last one was a mismatch every which way.

Looking up this story I stumbled on this. May need to hire this guy.  Who does that?
