Ronda Rousey said Tuesday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" she considered suicide after losing the UFC bantamweight championship in knockout fashion to Holly Holm in November.

Rousey explained how she felt sitting in a Melbourne, Australia hospital after her undefeated streak came to a stunning end.

I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself, and that exact second I’m like, "I'm nothing. What do I do anymore? And no one gives a shit about me anymore without this."

To be honest, I looked up and I saw my man Travis (Browne) was standing up there and I looked up at him and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive.
