Ronda Rousey retirement rumors and latest news: Dana White says Rousey was inconsolable after loss

Ronda Rousey hasn't been seen in public since Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes destroyed her in 48 seconds. In a recent interview with ESPN, UFC president Dana White revealed that Rousey was utterly devastated with her loss. "I must have tears, blood and boogers all over my f—ing jacket. I went in there and hugged her for 45 minutes," he stated.

There was so much pressure for Rousey to perform well, and the way the fight went was just too much for her. Even before she stepped inside the octagon, many people were already questioning her mental stability. She refused to face the media and Nunes did all the promoting for their bout.

Well, the champion wasn't pleased about the way Rousey acted leading to the fight, and she continued to kick Rousey while she's down. "I don't know how Ronda Rousey went too far in this division. Honestly, I don't understand why those girls lost to Ronda Rousey," she said (via MMA Fighting).

Nunes also explained that Rousey was clearly overrated, and she was just a product of the UFC hype machine. "They put her in a place where she's not at. But I know I can beat Ronda Rousey since I saw her first fight," she said.

If Rousey does retire after the fight, White made sure she knows that she has already done so much for the sport's women's division. "I told her, 'I love you so much, and whatever you want to do next, I got your back. You built this. This doesn't exist without you. You're the best decision I ever made,'" he said.

Nunes might think that Rousey was overrated, but the fact remains that there would have never been a women's division in the UFC if Rousey did not impress White and the rest of the UFC brass.
