“Every single loss feels like a piece of my soul has died. I\u2019m never the same after a loss. For me, losing is second only to having a loved one die,” Ronda Rousey says in her memoir My Fight \/ Your Fight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Former UFC bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey, continues to be criticized by many within the MMA community following her unofficial retirement from the fight game on foot of back to back defeats within The Octagon.<\/p>\n

The International Sports Hall of Fame<\/a> entrant has been labelled a \u2018bad loser\u2019 for her noticeable absence at both the Holm and Nunes post fight press conferences. Despite being recently promoted to a 6th degree black belt in Judo (along with her Mother AnnMaria De Mars who became a 7th), the validity of her skillset has also been questioned, along with the fighting IQ of her past opponents.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll show my hand before Bruce Buffer calls time and admit that I am,\u00a0and always will be, a Ronda Rousey fan.<\/p>\n

While this admission will undoubtedly be met with derision by some, and cause my credibility as a female MMA scribe to be questioned (I\u2019ve learnt that this comes with the territory), I\u2019m here to talk about how this athlete, woman, sister, daughter and wife is someone I will forever look up to, even though we’re the same age.<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey has inspired and connected with young women around the world like no other female fighter before her.<\/p>\n

She is an empowering figure, one that has been vocal when it comes to championing positive body image and equality for women in sport.<\/p>\n

Many who have followed the ‘Rowdy’ one will also be aware that she has had to adapt to, face and overcome many challenges throughout her thirty years.<\/p>\n

It would somehow feel inappropriate if not insensitive to list each one here, in black and white, for the sole purpose of this piece, but as anyone who is aware of her story knows, Rousey has had to deal with loss before she ever entered The Octagon. And while the former bantamweight champ has been criticized for her \u2018arrogant\u2019 attitude towards her opponents in the past, she shouldn’t be so harshly judged for her innate desire to be the best in the world, or the way she dealt with the eventual realisation that she no longer was.<\/p>\n

In fact, upon listening to Rousey speak candidly on The Ellen Show<\/a> in February 2016 about the suicidal thoughts that occupied her mind following her KO loss to Holm, it is plain to see that these aren\u2019t the post loss musings of someone who is simply (to quote Miesha Tate), \u201cawfully pouty\u201d, nor merely bitter over a defeat.<\/p>\n

No, the intensity of the Olympic medalists reaction to being beaten is affirmation of how much she cared about winning \u2013 and not from an egotistical or shallow standpoint. But because she simply\u00a0had to<\/em> be the best. Nothing else would do.<\/p>\n

Ultimately however, tying in your identity with that of being a World Champ is a risky position to take. In that respect, Rousey erred – in the way in which we are all capable of doing.<\/p>\n

Be it a job or a romantic relationship, most us will have experienced that sense of disorientation and loss of identity upon having something taken away – in particular if we allowed that thing to become a large part of who<\/em> we are. Yet on the other hand, Rousey’s iron-clad winning mentality stemmed from an\u00a0innate self\u2013belief. One that drove her to compete on the world stage in both Judo and MMA. Since when do we discourage such confidence from within?<\/p>\n

While many MMA fighters and pundits have both questioned and chided the strength of her reaction to both losses, I commend her for speaking out about the suffering that she faced following her first defeat in the UFC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was sitting in the corner and was like \u2018What am I anymore if I\u2019m not this?\u2019\u201d She explained to DeGeneres, visibly upset. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m literally sitting there thinking about killing myself. In that exact second, I\u2019m like, \u201cI\u2019m nothing.\u201d What do I do anymore? No one gives a shit about me anymore without this.”<\/p>\n

By revealing the hopelessness that she experienced following the Holm fight, Rousey did a great thing for anyone who has ever suffered with their mental health. If someone as beautiful, confident, rich and talented as Ronda Rousey could feel like her life was not worth living, then why would anyone feel shamed or stigmatized?<\/p>\n

Looking once again at the criticism aimed in her direction following her yet unofficial decision to step away from the sport of MMA, I challenge somebody to name a dominant female champion in the UFC who has suffered back to back defeats in the violent and one-sided fashion that Rousey endured, and returned to be victorious.<\/p>\n

I think Miesha Tate is an awesome fighter, and an excellent MMA analyst, but when the tide began to turn on her in the cage, and she found herself getting lit up by both Nunes and Pennington, she also walked away.<\/p>\n

If Joanna Jedrzejczyk decides against returning to the strawweight division following a potential second hammering from Rose Namajunas, will MMA fans view Rousey\u2019s decision differently?<\/p>\n

I have a sneaky suspicion that they might.<\/p>\n

There is a Ted X talk, presented by Andrew Solomon entitled, \u2018How the worst moments in our lives make us who we are<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter you\u2019ve forged meaning, you need to incorporate that meaning into a new identity,\u201d Solomon states. \u201cYou need to take the traumas and make them part of who you\u2019ve come to be\u2026 and you need to fold the worst events of your life into a narrative of triumph, evincing a better self in response to things that hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rousey\u2019s brutally raw (no pun intended) interview with Ellen reveals that she did just that. That\u00a0takes strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did a lot of thinking and I\u2019m like\u2026 why did this happen?\u201d Rousey confided. \u201cI do believe that all the best things come from the worst things\u2026. maybe just winning all the time wasn\u2019t what was best for everybody\u2026everyone has their moment of picking themselves off the floor and I\u2019d gone through several of mine but no one had seen me go through them\u2026maybe I just had to be that example of picking myself off the floor for everyone\u2026maybe that\u2019s what I\u2019m meant for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having recently fulfilled a childhood dream by signing with the WWE, Rousey is slowly coming around to speaking about her losses in the cage.<\/p>\n

In fact, in an insightful interview<\/a>, she recently drew a parallel between her transition from Judo to MMA and her move from MMA to wrestling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the Olympics was the only thing I cared about as a kid. I devoted my whole life to it and I tried and I tried\u2026winning the World Championships like my Mom did\u2026I got to the final\u2026and I lost\u2026and I went to two Olympics and I lost..it\u2019s still hard to realise your childhood dreams are not coming true\u2026I think the only thing that really helped was finding something else to devote myself to and be successful at\u2026.I think I was only able to get past the Olympics when I started doing MMA\u2026I do believe that there is a parallel there…”<\/p>\n

In preparation for writing this piece, I came across another\u00a0interview<\/a> Rousey did since joining WWE.<\/p>\n

The following explains even better than I can why Ronda Rousey is one of the GOATs in women’s MMA, and an athlete that I will always admire.<\/p>\n

And it goes a little something like this\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad, he made me believe that if I want to do anything, I\u2019m going to be the best in the world at it. I went and won my Olympic medal, and everyone was happy with me and then\u2026 I ended up living in my car. Nobody else would give me the respect that I felt I deserved. So, then I decided. I\u2019m gonna talk a lot of shit, break a bunch of arms and then at the end of the day, I can at least feed my dog.\u201d<\/p>\n
