*WINNER British Sports Book Awards SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR*
Ronda's new memoir OUR FIGHT is available on 4th April, in Hardback
'I have this one term for the kind of woman my mother raised me not to be, and I call it a Do-Nothing B-tch'. Its the kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by somebody else. Thats why I think its hilarious when people say that my body looks masculine or something. Just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f-cking millionaires, doesnt mean its masculine. I think its femininely badass as f-ck because there isnt a single muscle on my body that doesnt have a purpose because Im not a Do-Nothing B-tch.'
When Ronda Rousey made this speech she inspired women everywhere. Beyoncé even played a recording on-stage and it went viral. But Rousey has been inspiring others her whole career.
The journey to the top for the most dominant mixed-martial-arts fighter in history has been filled with challenges. From a childhood marked by speech problems to the painful loss of her father, she grew up repeatedly pushing her mind and body to the limit in order to win. She battled prejudice to become the first female fighter in UFC. Now she is the biggest name in the sport, breaking attendance levels and re-writing the history books with her astonishing knockout victories, most in under a minute. She has also forged a successful Hollywood career as an actor.
In this honest and inspiring book, Rousey relives her greatest fights and shares her secrets for success and mental toughness. She reveals how we can all be at our best, even on our worst days, and how we can turn our limitations into opportunities. It will leave you ready to face your own challenges in life, whatever they may be.
