Rousey has been open about her health issues stemming from a history of concussions since her judo days. She has had a lot of help dealing with the hardships: UFC CEO and Ronda's friend Dana White.

“I don't regret it or anything like that. Thankfully, I now have a lot more information about what was going on with me. I just felt like I couldn’t be honest about what I was going through physically without people thinking I was making excuses for myself. I also felt like I didn’t owe anyone an explanation, especially if they were going to vent. So yeah, I needed to figure out what was going on first,” she said. Ronda Rousey em interview to the channel 'Untapped'. 

“Dana sent me to a neurological study of long-term fighters and they really made some — I wouldn’t call it breakthroughs, but they were able to diagnose a lot of the things that were going on with me and I think they still are. I just didn’t have all the information at the time. So I couldn’t give myself that information at the time to better explain things now, so no, I don’t dwell on that. It was the best I could do with what I had,” she said. 

The fighter is now facing the diagnosis and looking for ways to improve her symptoms. Although she probably won't return to the cage, she is looking to have a better quality of life.
