Rousey conducted her first video interview since the devastating loss to Holly Holm.
On Friday, a sleepy Rousey told TMZ she was keeping her word and attending the marine ball as promised.
“I’m going to the Marine ball. Yeah, I promised I’d go. It’s an honor to be asked. Honestly, I’d probably stay on my couch, crying and eating ice cream if he hadn’t asked me. So it’s probably a good thing.”
About her return to MMA and a rematch with Holly Holm. Dana White said there would be an immediate rematch and plans for it to be at UFC 2000 in July 2016. Rousey is hungry for revenge and wants she told ESPN the Magazine that she wantedit, and she confirmed that Friday in the video with TMZ:
“It’s what I want, but it’s up to the UFC and it’s up to her camp, so we’ll see what happens.”
In her interview with ESPN, she talked about her motivation for the rematch:
I need to come back. I need to beat this chick. Who knows if I’m going to pop my teeth out or break my jaw or rip my lip open again. I have to f*cking do it. It doesn’t matter. I have to do it.”
“I just feel so embarrassed,” Rousey said. “How I fought after that is such an embarrassing representation of myself. I wasn’t even f*cking there.”
