Ronda Rousey's loss against Holly Holm took a bigger toll on her than everyone realized.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the famous fighter admitted that she contemplated suicide almost immediately after her loss, which broke her undefeated streak.
“I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself,” she said.

Rousey was worried about the public's perception of her, concerned that her entire career would be derailed because of the loss. "No one gives a sh*t about me anymore without this," she said.
However, one thing inspired her through the darkness -- her boyfriend, Travis Browne.
"I looked up at him and I was just like, 'I need to have his babies," she said. "I need to stay alive."
Naturally, Rousey is also determined now to have a rematch against Holm -- so she can "beat her and make everything right again."
