Regardless of if you've seen her fight once or have watched her from the beginning, everyone seems to have an opinion on Ronda Rousey.
After Rousey's devastating loss at UFC 207 to Amanda Nunes, there were a lot of negative opinions out there, but she did receive some support from a couple of unlikely sources.
Jon Jones, who is in a somewhat similar position as Rousey shared some great advice with Ronda on Twitter earlier this month, and recently Floyd Mayweather of all people shared some heartfelt words with the former champ, courtesy of fighthype.com:
“So Ronda Rousey, hold your head up, stay focused. Keep believing. A true champion can bounce back. You’ll be okay. Everything will be okay. … I don’t want her to think this is the end of the world. She’s hearing it from the best. She’ll be okay, Ronda Rousey hold your head up, still a true champion in our eyes. You made women’s MMA huge, so stay focused, go back to the drawing board, and do what you gotta do. 2017 is a whole new year. That was 2016 from that mistake. Now it’s 2017. So you’re undefeated this year. Come back, champ!”
Surprisingly kind words from Floyd, but very supportive nonetheless.
In an interview with TMZ Sports shortly after sharing those words with the world, Floyd even said he was willing to work with Ronda.
"I'll work with her if she's willing to work with me."
The one thing that many analysts were talking about after Rousey's loss was her striking and how it needs improvement, and working with Mayweather would probably improve that area of her game.
That being said, the two potentially working together is a long-shot at this point considering their history and we don't even know if Rousey will ever fight again.
Still, we're hoping that she does decide to give it another go, and judging by this quote she posted on Instagram after the loss, it looks like she just might.
