UFC superstar Ronda Rousey’s new autobiography, ‘My Fight / Your Fight’ is officially released today.
The book documents Rousey’s whirlwind life to date, covering both her initial success as an Olympic medalist in Judo at Beijing in 2008 and her transition to mixed martial arts which led to her current status as an undefeated world champion in the UFC who’s widely considered to be the greatest female fighter of all-time.
There’s far more to Rousey’s story than just that though. For instance, she almost died at birth which left her with brain damage and unable to speak until the age of four, her father committed suicide when she was just eight, and she battled with marijuana and painkiller addiction in her teens.
Throw in the influence of her mom – a decorated Judo champ herself – who took a tough-love approach which helped mould her into the unstoppable force she is today, her bad relationship choices and the fact that she rose above it all and became not only as a UFC fighter, but also as a rising Hollywood star, and you’ve got yourself a great story.
‘My Fight / Your Fight’ is available now from amazon.com and all other good stockists. See below for the book cover and official publisher’s description.
