Back in 2016, Ronda Rousey did a candid and tearful interview with Ellen Degeneres about contemplating suicide. Around this time, “Rowdy” Ronda had just lost the UFC women’s bantamweight title to Holly Holm two months prior.
“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 at the time, adding she snapped out of it after seeing then boyfriend Travis Browne and the “need to have his babies.”
Recently, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland opened up this discussion six years later.
