Dang. This is pretty harsh, even for a UFC fighter like Ronda Rousey. Holly Holm laid her out pretty well – but maybe a little too well:
Ronda Rousey says it may take six months to fully recover from the injuries she sustained in her Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight title defeat by Holly Holm in November.
Holm, 34, ended her fellow American’s unbeaten 12-fight streak with a second-round knockout in Melbourne.
“It might be three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact,” Rousey, 28, told ESPN.
The Expendables 3 star added she was hoping to reclaim her title.
“Maybe I can’t do it all before my prime, before my body is done, but maybe I can,” added Rousey, who is set to appear in a remake of 1980s film Road House.
On Sunday, Holm had a day named after her, at a parade in her native Albuquerque, New Mexico
I’m gonna file this under reasons why I don’t EVER want to watch or participate in any UFC stuff. It’s just brutal. To not be able to eat fruit for 6 months is pretty awful. Hope you recover soon, Ronda – and enjoy that apple when you finally get it!
