Following a 13-month hiatus from the sport, Ronda Rousey’s long-awaited return lasted a mere 48 seconds.
The former champion suffered her second consecutive knockout loss when Amanda Nunes unloaded a barrage of unanswered strikes that forced referee Herb Dean to call a standing technical knockout. While Rousey looked devastated following her defeat, fans and pundits were unable to gauge the extent of her disappointment because she refused to speak to the media in the fight’s aftermath.
UFC president Dana White, who spent some time with Rousey following the loss, was able to offer some insight into how she felt following her second loss.
