7. Ronda Rousey Issues Statement After Crushing UFC 207 Loss, Gets Mocked By Cris Cyborg
After Ronda Rousey lost her UFC 207 Title fight in just 48 seconds, she issued the following statement to ESPN:
“I want to say thank you to all of my fans who have been there for me in not only the greatest moments but in the most difficult ones. Words cannot convey how much your love and support means to me.
Returning to not just fighting, but winning, was my entire focus this past year. However, sometimes — even when you prepare and give everything you have and want something so badly — it doesn’t work how you planned.
I take pride in seeing how far the women’s division has come in the UFC and commend all the other women who have been part of making this possible, including Amanda.
I need to take some time to reflect and think about the future. Thank you for believing in me and understanding.”
Below is what fellow UFC fighter Cris Cyborg (fans have wanted to see Cyborg vs. Rousey for a long time in a battle to find out who is the best women’s fighter ever):
I guess we know why the fight never happened now….best ever…don't believe everything the media tells you! Boa… https://t.co/UXhRs0UgSH

As we noted before, WWE was interested in bringing Ronda Rousey to WWE after her UFC career is over. But Coach thinks Ronda has no chance in WWE after her devastating 48 second loss at UFC 207.
Below is what Coach tweeted:
Sorry no chance. You can't bring in her at any point. Perception matters. That performance mattered. https://t.co/0HGPgVNLod

Michael listen to me. It will NEVER happen. They are not in the business of bringing in a broken star and rebuilding her. https://t.co/JUOAVig2ov
