Ronda Rousey Says 'Punks' Robbed Home In Venice
Ronda Rousey has been out of the spotlight for a minute but that hasn't done much to slow things down in her life outside of the cage.

The former UFC women's bantamweight champion went radio silent with media following her first-round TKO loss to Amanda Nunes UFC 207 back in December, but that hiatus ended Wednesday morning when the "Rowdy" one paid a visit to the set of Live with Kelly and Ryan. The interview was Rousey's first since having her highly anticipated comeback soured by the Brazilian powerhouse in Las Vegas, and there was speculation hovering as to whether or not the former Olympian would shed light on the status of her future in MMA. 

The only source of input on Rousey news over the past several month has been UFC President Dana White, and the promotion's frontman hasn't sounded all too optimistic about the situation. Fight fans were hoping to find out whether or not Rousey would be returning to the Octagon in the near future, but the ESPY winner didn't address the matter in the interview.

What Rousey did reveal though was some insight into the latest happenings in her life including her recent engagement to UFC heavyweight Travis Browne. The WMMA superstar recalled how the Hawaiian striker popped the question, but then also shed light on her home being burglarized by skate "punks." Rousey went into detail on how the situation was initially discovered and how Browne took matters into his own hands to get it resolved.

"[Browne] was going to sneak away and ask for permission, but right when we got to the house we realized we had been robbed. Someone had been squatting in my house for like three days, had been sleeping in my bed, stole my Olympic rings, stole my guns and all my precious jewelry. They stole every headphone in the house and my credit card.

"We have security cameras and we looked back at them and saw a bunch of kids with skateboards. There is a famous skate park right across the street because we are in Venice. My man is 6'7" and like 260 [pounds] so he B-lines it across the street straight to the skateboard park. He finds the guys right away and he's smart enough to not [slapping motion] right in the middle of the [park]. We'll get sued pretty hard so he found the police right then and they caught them. And the kids confessed to it.

"But they knew it was my house. There's no way they couldn't know it was my house. What little punks."
