Ronda Rousey's mother defends daughter after shocking UFC 207 loss

In her first fight since a stunning loss to Holly Holm in November 2015, the previously indestructible Ronda Rousey lost again on Friday night, this time getting knocked out by bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes in the main event of UFC 207.

Rousey showed no signs of improvement in the bout, which lasted just 48 seconds. Speculation has immediately turned to her potential retirement, though she has remained silent since the fight as she did in the wake of her defeat at UFC 193.

Rousey's mother, Dr. AnnMaria De Mars, has commented on the loss in a post on her personal blog.
