After her crushing loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207, Ronda Rousey has finally broken her silence and has issued a statement about her future and more.
Here’s the full statement:
“I want to say thank you to all of my fans who have been there for me in not only the greatest moments but in the most difficult ones. Words cannot convey how much your love and support means to me. Returning to not just fighting, but winning, was my entire focus this past year. However, sometimes — even when you prepare and give everything you have and want something so badly — it doesn’t work how you planned. I take pride in seeing how far the women’s division has come in the UFC and commend all the other women who have been part of making this possible, including Amanda. I need to take some time to reflect and think about the future. Thank you for believing in me and understanding.”
Ronda Rousey did not speak to the credentialed media during UFC 207 fight week and did not attend the post-fight press conference following her loss to Amanda Nunes.
