LAS VEGAS, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Ronda Rousey's comeback tour lasted a mere 48 seconds.

Her opponent, reigning champ Amanda Nunes, wasted no time in feeling no mercy toward the former women's bantamweight champion after beating her by way of technical knockout in UFC 207 Friday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Just an hour after embarrassing Rousey, Nunes posted a photo on Twitter of herself pushing Rousey in a baby crib, while holding the championship belt.

Rousey was fighting for the first time since being knocked out by Holly Holm last year during her first loss. In February, she told Ellen Degeneres that she contemplated suicide following the upset to Holm.

"I was in the medical room, sitting in the corner and I was like: 'what am I anymore if I'm not this'," Rousey said on The Ellen Show. "I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself. At that exact second it's like, 'I'm nothing...what am I going to do anymore?' No one gives an [expletive] anymore about me without this."

She is now 12-2 all-time as experts ponder if she will retire from the sport. Friday's 135-pound clash was the headliner for UFC 207. Rousey received $3 million for the fight, while Nunes cashed in for $200,000.

"Let's stop this Ronda Rousey nonsense because this fight was everything about her but I'm the champion," Nunes told ESPN after the fight. "I don't understand why. It's supposed to be everything about the champion and about the best in the world. Why did Ronda Rousey stop for a year and then come back and have everything? It's not right."

The former champ wasn't knocked out, but suffered several devastating hits from Nunes' right jab, before referee Herb Dean halted the action. Friday's bout was the fastest knockout ever by Nunes [14-4].

Rousey did not have to go to the hospital after the fight because she was medically cleared.
