Cross-over superstar Ronda Rousey hasn’t stepped\u00a0into the Octagon since last year after suffering a devastating knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193.<\/a> In spite of the jaw-breaking, concussion-causing head kick Holm dealt\u00a0her,\u00a0the former champ still regards the sport as beneficial to the brain.<\/p>\n

Rousey waxed philosophical during an interview with USA Today on Wednesday<\/a> and got into the benefits of the mind when it comes to\u00a0mixed martial arts\u00a0and human aggression:<\/p>\n

“(MMA) really is the most responsible outlet for (aggression),” she says.\u00a0“It\u2019s a human instinct to fight. If you try to suppress it entirely, and put everyone in a bubble-wrapped society, that\u2019s when people start going nuts and shooting movie theaters. If any of those people that had all of that aggression built up in them had some sort of outlet, I think that we\u2019d have a lot more societal health because of it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Rousey doesn’t have a fight lined up yet since her loss to Holm, she has been busy in the meantime <\/a>filming the ‘Road House’ beboot, production of which began in February 2016, just three months removed from\u00a0her first loss and the first time she’s been\u00a0knocked out in her career.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
