MMA fighter Ronda Rousey has kept a low profile since her embarrassing defeat last week.

The first photos have emerged of the former champion appearing stressed following a report that her new home in Venice Beach had been defaced.

As if suffering a career shattering loss wasn't enough, her new home has been vandalized with indecipherable black graffiti.

Rousey can be seen on her deck with a furrowed brow and donning a Reebok exercise outfit.

The photos, taken yesterday, show that bruises from her 48-second fight with Amanda Nunes seem to have faded over the last week.

Nunes was declared the winner in under a minute after delivering a vicious beating at UFC 207 in Las Vegas.

It is unconfirmed if Rousey will return to the ring, after many have called for her retirement after her 48-second defeat, including her own mother.

The first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo, Rousey is known for her arrogance in the ring and has previously said she could defeat everyone in her division with 'one arm tied behind my back'.

She received a tirade of abuse on social media following her defeat to Nunes, including from her opponent herself, who tweeted a photoshopped image of herself holding the championship belt while pushing a stroller with Rousey, as a baby, inside of it.

Rousey's mom, AnnMaria De Mars, admitted after the match last month that she wanted her daughter to retire a 'long time ago'.

Rousey took to Instagram on Monday to post an inspirational quote from Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

Her post read: 'And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life'.

The quote is from a 2008 Harvard commencement speech that Rowling called 'The fringe benefits of failure and the importance of imagination'.

Rousey can certainly relate to the quote, whose fractured fighting career has been postponed until at least February 14 due to a 45-day medical suspension.

Other than a prepared statement, the only response she'd made to the fight was in an Instagram post, which said: 'And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life'

Although Rousey hasn't decided yet whether or not she'll return to fighting, she also hasn't announced her retirement from the sport.

Rousey's comeback fight against Nunes ended a 13-month absence that followed her first career loss to Holly Holm in November 2015, after which she revealed she had suicidal thoughts.

She said: 'I was down in the corner [of the medical room], and I was like, 'What am I anymore if I'm not this?' I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself,'
