Should Ronda Rousey retire? Fellow fighters discuss: 'She doesn't know how to handle a loss'

Following her second straight loss, is it time for former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey to retire, according to fellow fighters? It depends on which one you ask.

Rousey (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who posted six consecutive title defenses from 2013-2015, lost her title to Holly Holm in November 2015, and then she returned from a yearlong layoff and suffered another TKO defeat after facing reigning champ Amanda Nunes (14-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in December at UFC 207.

Rousey has been rather quiet about her future plans, though UFC President Dana White said he doesn’t expect MMA’s former top star to return to the cage.

Should she, though? It’s the question we posed to fellow fighters, and the answers varied widely.

Some said that Rousey’s potential paydays would make it a worthwhile effort. Others said she has nothing left to prove and should do whatever makes her happy.

Nunes, though, offered one of the more blunt assessments.

“I think she did a lot for this sport,” she said. “And she proved she doesn’t know how to handle a loss. She doesn’t know how to come back. And this is a big thing. You have to learn, and she doesn’t (have to keep doing) this to herself. She’s very talented. She can do a lot of things. She can keep moving forward. … But I think she’s going to keep hurting herself if she comes back.”
