Ronda Rousey breaks social media silence with inspirational quote

Ronda Rousey reappeared on social media Monday, more than a week after her stunning loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.

It's unclear whether the former bantamweight champion will close out her career or if she will continue fighting, but she posted an inspirational quote to her Instagram, insinuating she is coming to terms with her second defeat in a row.

The quote is from a speech titled “The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination,” which "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling penned and read at a commencement ceremony at Harvard in 2008.
