'Is it going to disappoint you if I say "Hell no", she responded when asked about a possible camaraderie between the two champions, according to the New York Post.

Rousey told the chat show host: 'I was down in the corner [of the medical room], and I was like, "What am I anymore if I'm not this?"'

'I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself.'

"To be honest, I looked up and I saw my man Travis standing there and I looked up at him, and I was just like: "I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive"'

Tate's responses:

'Now that I am the champion I have unlimited energy,' she told TMZ

'I don't even know what [Ronda] is thinking right now...it seems like her motivation to stick around was to have Travis Browne's baby. So, I don't know', referring to comments Rousey made on The Ellen DeGeneres show following her shocking defeat to Holm during the most attended UFC event in history.
