Defeated UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey broke her silence on social media after her latest loss with an Instagram post on Tuesday.
The UFC women’s legend posted a quoter from a J.K. Rowling about bouncing back after hitting rock bottom.
It read: “And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”
Rowling, the acclaimed author of the Harry Potter series, delivered the quote in her 2008 speech at Harvard, recounting her struggles writing the book while being broke, jobless and recently divorced.
The 29-year-old Rousey, meanwhile, has been in a seclusion after her shock defeat to Holly Holm back at UFC 193 in 2015, where she lost for the first time in UFC as well as her title.
Amanda Nunes also knocked her out in 48 seconds in Rousey’s return at UFC 207 last December 30.
