Ronda Rousey has a message for fans on Instagram -- 'I'll be back'
- 9 years ago
A day after being stunned by Holly Holm at UFC 193 in one of the sport's biggest upsets, Ronda Rousey used Instagram to reach out to fans for the first time since she was hospitalized after being knocked out in her first career MMA loss.
Rousey, a former judo Olympian, was unbeaten through 12 UFC fights before she met Holm.
A win Saturday would have been Rousey's seventh title defense.
Instead, Holm, a 34-year-old veteran boxer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, has the championship belt.
After the loss, Rousey skipped the post-fight media conference and was taken to a nearby hospital for precautionary reasons.
She received stitches for facial cuts and had plastic surgery on her lip, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
