Ronda Rousey Comments on Health After Knockout Loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193

Ronda Rousey's UFC career isn't over following her shocking defeat to Holly Holm at UFC 193 on Saturday, but the former women's bantamweight champion admitted she plans on taking a break from the Octagon.

"I just wanted to thank everyone for the love and support," Rousey wrote in an Instagram post Sunday night. "I appreciate the concerns about my health, but I'm fine. As I had mentioned before, I'm going to take a little bit of time, but I'll be back."

Holm delivered one of the biggest sporting upsets in recent memory after she thoroughly outclassed Rousey en route to a second-round knockout, as shown by UFC on Fox:

"[Rousey] was transported [to the hospital] because she got knocked out," said UFC President Dana White after the fight, per Steven Marrocco of MMAjunkie. "Then her lip was split in half, so they had to sew her lip."

The talk of a possible rematch between Holm and Rousey happened almost instantaneously as Holm was declared the new champion. MMAFighting.com's Luke Thomas isn't so sure that would be a good idea for Rousey:   

Holm vs. Rousey would be the biggest return fight in women's MMA. Too much money would be on the line to think it will never happen at some point.

Still, given both Rousey's injuries and her desire for some time away from the UFC, it may be a little while until she gets another crack at Holm.
