Ronda Rousey reflects on her UFC career: 'Your legacy means nothing if you take it with you...'
Instead, it was a bit of a fall from grace for the seemingly unbeatable UFC women's bantamweight champion, which saw Rousey retire from MMA in 2016 after being handed her first and only losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.Rousey On Why She Didn't Retire On Top: "It Was All Dependent On Me"
An Olympic Bronze Medalist in Judo, Rousey was on the top of her game for years and ran through the bantamweight division with super-fast finishes, leaving many to wonder what would've happened if she had decided to retire from fighting at the peak of her success rather than her downfall. There wasn't a plethora of WMMA stars back when Rousey was on top, leaving "Rowdy" to think the UFC might do away with the women's 135lb division had their undefeated champion just walked away.
"Nobody retires with a belt in the WWE. You have to give it away. So, I kind of learned that through WWE, which kind of helped me to get through a lot of that stuff and process it when it's about the division," Rousey explained. "WWE was therapeutic to me in putting things in perspective. And it's about the vision and your legacy. And your legacy means nothing if you take it with you.
