After Ronda Rousey said last week that she [considered killing herself](http://si.com/mma/2016/02/16/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-loss-killing-myself) after losing her bantamweight title and undefeated record to Holly Holm at UFC 193, Holm [told](http://mmajunkie.com/2016/02/suicidal-tendencies-holly-holm-says-i-would-never-get-that-low-after-a-loss) MMAjunkie that a loss would never upset her that much.

“For me, I would never get that low after a loss,” Holm said. “Maybe I’m a selfish person, but I just think I want to get back and win for me. It’s frustrating. You deal with a lot of doubt in your mind and maybe I’m not as good as I thought I was. Obviously those are the questions that go through your mind, but you have to be honest with yourself and think, ‘Maybe not. Obviously you need to get better because this fighter was better than you tonight.’”

Holm knocked out Rousey in the second round of their November fight, handing Rousey her first loss in 13 professional contests. Holm’s MMA record is now 10–0.

Though Holm said she had never felt that level of depression after a loss, she did clarify that she understood the gravity of Rousey’s statement.

“I keep wanting to make sure everyone knows I don’t take anything like that lightly, it’s a very serious subject,” Holm said. “I’ve never been in that position. I’m probably the worst person to ask for advice on that. I definitively don’t want to sit here and feel sorry, because I know for me, I have a competitive mind, and I’m confident Ronda is the same, that you don’t really want sympathy from the one that like created this. That almost makes it even more frustrating.


“I do hope that obviously she never really entertains that.”

Holm and Rousey are expected to fight again later this year.

## Transcript

In one of the biggest upsets in recent MMA memory, Holly Holm defeated Rhonda Roussy in UFC 193 to become the new women's bantam weight champion. Roussy came our swinging early but Holm appeared to connect with the most damaging blows Rousey's nose started bleeding after a series of punches from Holm and things never seemed to improve for Rousey after that. She went out there with game plan A, which has been extremely successful for her. She's ran through everybody. All of sudden then, halfway through that first round Game Plan A wasn't working. She had an opponent that had an answer for it. She never made an adjustment.

Holmes stunned Rousey with a left hook early in the second round. She KO'd Rousey with a left kick to the face and the match was over. I can not put it into words, but all I know is inside I'm thinking, okay, there's still a lot to come. You know, this was one good fight. And there's So much more to prove. Both fighters were undefeated heading to the match up but Rousey was the heavy favorite due to her ability to completely overpower opponents. Just one of Rousey's previous 12 opponents had made it passed the first round. Holm is also clearly a very talented fighter but has never displayed the level of domination Rousey has.

Holm is a former boxer and her ground game seem to be the biggest question mark. Heading into the match. The matchup didn't earn Rousey any sportsmanship points either. After getting tangled up with Holm at weigh ins, Rousey refused to touch gloves prior to the fight. Rousey was taken to the hospital directly after the match but UFC president Dana White says she didn't suffer any serious injuries.
