Rousey was once the biggest star in UFC and was the reason that the UFC Women's Division was created, but after years of dominance inside the Octagon, her life came tumbling down in the fall of 2015 when she lost to Holly Holm at UFC 193.

Rousey told ESPN following her loss that she felt suicidal and had no idea how she could come back.

"Honestly, my thought in the medical room, I was sitting in the corner and was like, 'What am I anymore if I'm not this?' Literally sitting there thinking about killing myself. In that exact second, I'm like, 'I'm nothing. What do I do anymore? No one gives a s--- about me anymore without this.'"

Rousey returned to UFC the following year and lost to Amanda Nunes in just 48 seconds at UFC 207, which signaled the end of her UFC career.
