UFC must take overworked Ronda Rousey’s suicide discussion seriously

Ciaran O'Flynn believes Ronda Rousey’s frank admission about her state of mind after defeat should serve as a wake-up call to UFC.

Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has admitted she contemplated suicide after her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 last November. Rousey opened up while appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show on Tuesday evening.

"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?'" Rousey said. "Literally sitting there thinking about killing myself. In that exact second, I'm like, 'I'm nothing. What do I do anymore? No one gives a s--- about me anymore without this.'"
