AnnMaria De Mars, who was the first ever world champion in judo from the United States, would like to see Rousey retire from the sport following her 48-second TKO loss to Amanda Nunes on Friday night in Las Vegas.
Actually, De Mars wanted to see Rousey walk away from fighting long before now because she believes her daughter has talent in a lot of other areas that won't require her to get punched in the face as a result.
"I would like to see her retire," De Mars told TMZ.com. "I would have liked to see her retire a long time ago. Who wants to see their kid get hit? Cause she's got a lot of talent in a lot of other things. Movies, writing, producing, she's really, really smart. I told her that at the beginning when she started this.
