The declaration of Ronda Rousey on presenter Elen DeGeneres' program, in which the former judoka revealed that she had even thought about killing herself after her defeat to Holly holm in November last year, they fell like a bomb in the MMA world. Ronda's words were received with astonishment by Holm, who revealed that he had no reaction when he heard the impact of his victory over his rival.

“When I heard she said that, I thought, 'How do I respond to that? I don't want to apologize, because if someone who beat me apologized to me, I would say: 'No, I'm a competitor. I'm not a charity case.' In the long run, she will become mentally stronger because of this,” said Holm, to the North American website “Sherdog”.
Last week, almost three months after the defeat to Holly holm, Ronda Rousey finally returned to training and made headlines in the sports news. The former champion, however, still does not have an official date to return to the Octagon and is currently dedicating herself to other projects, such as modeling and acting.
Holm puts his title on the line for the first time on March 5th, in Las Vegas (USA), in the co-main fight of UFC 196. On that date, in the event that features a lightweight title fight between Rafael dos Anjos e Conor McGregor in the main fight, Holly faces Miesha Tate.
