Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey was a recent guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. During her chat with the host she was asked about her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November. The judoka had been previously undefeated.
Rousey was brought to tears and revealed publicly for the first time she had thought of committing suicide.
"Honestly, my thought in the medical room, I was sitting in the corner and was like, 'What am I anymore if I'm not this?'" Rousey said. "Literally sitting there thinking about killing myself. In that exact second, I'm like, 'I'm nothing. What do I do anymore? No one gives a shit about me anymore without this.'"
Her relationship with boyfriend Travis Browne, a fellow UFC fighter, helped Rousey pull through.
"I looked up and saw my man, Travis, was standing there," Rousey said. "I'm looking up at him and was just like, 'I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.'"

We're glad Rousey got over her bout with depression. It would have been another tragedy for her mom, AnnMaria De Mars, and her loved ones.
Rousey's father committed suicide when she was 8-years old.
She's now back in the gym training. A rematch with Holm is expected to take place later this year.

Singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and model Vanity died at the age of 57 on Monday, February 15.
Vanity, real name Denise Mathews, was a former protégé of Prince and the lead singer of the singer of the group Vanity 6 in the mid-80's. The trio released one self-titled album in 1982 that spawned the hit song "Nasty Girl."
She also appeared in the films "The Last Dragon" and "Action Jackson."
According to Billboard, Mathews passed away due to kidney failure, caused by years of crack cocaine use.
Mathews had become a born again Christian.
TMZ reports that she told her church congregation on Saturday that she was "ready to go home."
Artists Sheila E, Questlove, MC Hammer, Solange Knowles and more mourned her death on Twitter and Instagram.

Taylor Swift finally responded to Kanye West saying he's responsible for her fame on his new song titled "Famous" from the album, "The Life of Pablo."
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous," West raps, referring to the aftermath of him interrupting her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
While accepting the award for "1989" winning "Album of the Year" at the 58th GRAMMYs on Monday, February 15, Swift threw a subliminal diss at the rapper.
"I want to say to all the young women out there. There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame," Swift said. "But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you'll look around and you'll know it was you and the people that love you that put you there."
