Staff Reviews


The currently-undefeated UFC Women's Champion has quite a story to tell already. Having barely survived a traumatic birth, Rousey didn't speak until she was well into her toddler years. Her mother was a world judo champion, and her hard-working father was her hero. After a tragic accident, her father suffers an incredibly degenerative back injury, eventually committing suicide. Finding strength and resolve after her loss, Ronda follows in her mother's footsteps. Rousey becomes obsessed with judo, and eventually a 2-time Olympian.

After successfully transferring to MMA, she single-handedly convinces the UFC to start a Women's division. Written with very candid insights into her personal life, each chapter is a small, intense vignette that propels the reader forward.
