Win or lose, Ronda Rousey, was planning on taking some much needed time off after UFC 193. It's now mandatory. The organization has suspended her for six months for medical reasons.

After being knocked out in the second round by Holly Holm, Rousey was immediately taken to the hospital. UFC President Dana White said she would be having plastic surgery to repair her split lip.

It's now obvious that her injuries were more serious, although the UFC has not revealed the extent of them.

The former bantamweight champion is not allowed to fight on her own time for 60 days, can have no contact for 45 days and is prohibited from an official fight for 180 days (or earlier if cleared by a negative head CT scan).

Jose Aldo

UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo told MMAFighting.com that he believes Rousey's fighting career is over.

"I think it’s really hard for her to return to fighting," Aldo said. "Her career has taken a different direction. If I’m making a lot of money doing movies or something else, I’d go that direction too. Am I going to mess my face up getting punched in the face? You’re crazy [laughs]. In my opinion, I don’t think (she fights again). If she comes back, of course she can (win the title). She was always a fighter, but if I were her, I wouldn’t come back.

"I see this as Gina’s situation," said Aldo, comparing Rousey’s loss to Cris Cyborg’s win over Gina Carano at Strikeforce. "Gina was a great fighter and went her way to become an actress after she lost to Cyborg, and she’s getting more attention than if she was still fighting. No diet, not getting punched in the face, nothing."

"I think the legacy Ronda leaves behind is that she changed women’s MMA," Aldo said. "She put it where no one ever imagined, where even Dana White said it would never be, and it is now. That’s her legacy. She has done a lot for women’s sport."
