Latest
In her first interview since losing to Holly Holm on November 14, UFC star Ronda Rousey finally spoke publicly about her first loss—loose teeth, puffy lips and all.
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Rousey invited ESPNW’s Ramona Shelburne (seen above speaking about her reporting on SportsCenter this morning) into her Venice Beach home and admitted that she’s been “really fucking sad” since the defeat a month ago.
“I need to come back. I need to beat this chick,” she said. “Who knows if I’m going to pop my teeth out or break my jaw or rip my lip open. I have to fucking do it.”
After Holm’s knockout kick to her face, Rousey said, she flew from Australia to a ranch in Texas and turned her phone off.
