UFC warrior woman Ronda Rousey has still got a lot of fight left in her.
As she prepares for her return to the ring next month, the tough 29-year-old is demonstrating she’s recovered mentally as well as physically from her devastating loss to Holly Holm a year ago.
Her comeback fight will be next month against Amanda Nunes and Rousey seems ready for it, judging by her interview about it on Tuesday’s “Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
She told Ellen, “I feel good … I’ve trained twice a day since the beginning of August, so I finally feel like in super ninja good mode.”
The previously unbeaten fighter at first struggled to come to terms with her knockout loss to Holm and even admitted to suicidal thoughts afterwards. “Honestly, my thought in the medical room, I was sitting in the corner and was like, ‘What am I anymore if I’m not this?’ [I was] literally sitting there thinking about killing myself,” she told ESPN.
But the healing process and a long break from the UFC seems to have done her some good. She now sees that having or sharing suicidal thoughts isn’t a sign of weakness. “It’s something real people are going through, not something like a weakness that we should condemn.” Rousey told TMZ.
Although the star has considered retirement after her next fight, she’s fully focused on the Nunes clash for now and is running, jumping and even climbing trees to get into great shape.
So yes, she’s gotten knocked down, but Rousey has got right back up and is ready to show her formidable ring skills again.
