In US gambling news, Rousey has granted her first post-defeat interview to ESPN The Magazine. Finally breaking her silence about the fight, she said that she felt “really f—king sad” following her November 15 loss in Melbourne. She also opened up about the injuries she’d sustained, saying that because of the split lip and loose teeth “It might be three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact.”

The former UFC champion went into detail about what let to her demise, saying that when Holm punched her 30 seconds into the fight, it threw her off for the rest of the match. She wasn’t thinking clearly and felt shaky, and for the first time ever spit blood onto the floor instead of the bucket. Says Rousey: “I just feel so embarrassed. How I fought after that is such an embarrassing representation of myself. I wasn’t even f—king there.”

In spite of her upsetting performance and loss in Australia, Rousey said that the knockout will not be the end her career. She vows to have a Holly Holm rematch, saying: “I need to come back. I need to beat this chick. Who knows if I’m going to pop my teeth or break my jaw or rip my lip open again. I have to f—king do it. It doesn’t matter. I have to do it.”
