Ronda Rousey defends suicide comments from Ellen show: 'It's not a weakness we should condemn'

Ronda Rousey recently made headlines after she admitted that suicidal thoughts crept into her mind following her knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193.

Soon thereafter, many in the mixed martial arts (MMA) world chimed in, with rivals Miesha Tate and the aforementioned Holm giving their thoughts (see them here and here) on "Rowdy's" comments made on the Ellen Degeneres Show.

Still, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight titleholder isn't taking back her statement, as she recently told TMZ Sports that it's something people really go through and she wants to let people know that it is okay and healthy to talk about those kinds of thoughts and issues.
