Following her devastating loss at UFC 207 against women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, Ronda Rousey has officially released a full statement.
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.
A few days ago, Rousey’s mother AnnMaria De Mars also expressed her thoughts on the fight and most importantly, her daughter who helped pioneer women’s MMA.
Rousey lost the championship via TKO due to punches at just 48 seconds into the first round. UFC 207 took place on December 30th at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area.

Ronda Rousey’s Full UFC 207 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.
