Ronda Rousey discusses suicidal thoughts after loss to Holly Holm (video)

Ronda Rousey broke down while recalling suicidal thoughts shortly after she lost for the first time in her mixed martial arts career.

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the 2008 Olympic judo bronze medalist described her thoughts while she sat in a corner in a medical room after being knocked out by Holly Holm on Nov. 15.

“Thinking about killing myself,” Rousey said, tears running down her face, before being handed a tissue by DeGeneres. “In that exact second, I’m like, I’m nothing, what do I do anymore? No one gives a s*** about me anymore without this.
