Less than 24 hours after her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193, Ronda Rousey took to Instagram to thank her supporters and assure them that she’ll return to the octagon after taking a few time off.

Rousey lost to Holm at UFC 193 at Eithad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. She was in position to take a run at Sharapova’s annual take-home pay of $20 million.
The retired boxer went on to say that it’s obvious that Holm was a better boxer than Rousey, and offered Rousey a few tips on what she should do next.
However, first of all she will take a break from UFC after the brutal knockout which required her to spend a night in hospital. And chances of landing a lucrative autograph deal dimmed, too.
Holm said a rematch with Rousey would “make sense” for her first title defense. “I don’t want to give away any bit of my victory”.
But one person surprisingly didn’t take Rousey to task after the loss.
Rousey’s long-time coach Edward Tarverdyan also hinted that the former undisputed champion may consider hanging up her gloves.
Mayweather told Fighthype.com that he I hasn’t really spoke to anyone about the Ronda Rousey situation.
“It’s not easy to deal with everything she has been dealing with”, Tarverdyan said, reports ESPN.
“She’s good, just had to get a few stitches in her lip”, White wrote on Twitter.
Rousey, in a daze, laid on the floor, leaving the world in shock because she was on the receiving end of one of the UFC’s biggest upsets. “She still has a movie to film, doing all the things she has to do before she fights again”. Rousey said. “I’d like to see you pretend to not know who I am now”.
Rousey, a former judo Olympian, was unbeaten through 12 UFC fights before she met Holm.
