Ronda Rousey's Retirement, Concussions, and WWE Critique

TL;DR Summary
Ronda Rousey revealed that her history of concussions, stemming from her judo career, was the primary reason for her retirement from MMA in 2016, despite being at the peak of her abilities. She explained that the impact of her concussions made it impossible for her to discuss her devastating loss to Holly Holm openly, as she felt it would put a target on her head and jeopardize her ability to compete. Rousey, a trailblazer for women in UFC, has since transitioned to professional wrestling and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.
