In just a few short years, Ronda Rousey went from being the most dominant female fighter in the UFC (and arguably in MMA at the time) to a hard fall from grace. “Rowdy” took another shot at reclaiming lost glory in 2016 against Amanda Nunes, but unfortunately, failed miserably.
Without making things official, Rousey walked away from MMA for good shortly after. She also never gave any reasons for her abrupt yet understandable departure, but in a recent exclusive sit-down with Daniel Cormier, she admitted not walking away at the right time.
“It was difficult in both judo and MMA in that everyone else felt that they wanted more from me,” Rousey said.
