Dana White isn’t overly concerned about Ronda Rousey’s claim that she had suicidal thoughts following her defeat to Holly Holm.
The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion made the startling revelation during a recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. So far, there has been a mixed reaction to Rousey’s comments with the woman who dethroned her refusing to say sorry and one of her biggest rivals reaching out to Rowdy.
UFC president Dana White and Mike Tyson seem to have a shared view on Rousey following her worrying comments. El Presidente told TMZ that he’s not concerned about her mental health and reckons her feelings can be put down to her competitive spirit.
“Trust me, she’s good right now and in a great place. Winners don’t like to lose. I have never worked an athlete like her! She is fucking amazing in every way.”
Tyson, who became a friend of Rousey over the last number of years also doesn’t seem to bothered by Rousey’s comments on Ellen.
“Everybody has a bad day at the office. She needs to focus on coming back, eventually. She can do what she wants, you need to be happy to do this stuff. It’s just a moment in time. She doesn’t feel that way now.”
When asked if he personally suffered through those kinds of bad thoughts after a loss, Tyson joked, “I have bad thoughts after a win!”
