As a longtime mma fan I never believed female mma fighters deserved to be in the UFC because their skill and fighting spirit paled in comparison to men's and I felt that way with Rousey too. Each opponent she would face I would dismiss them both as lacking skill and undeserving of being in the most elite mma company in the world the UFC [Ultimate Fighting Championship]. I would boo Ronda as I watched her fight at the local Buffalo Wild Wings and think to myself this woman is a one trick pony and she will be beaten once that trick doesn't work. Disappointment would fill me as she would win over and over again and I thought to myself maybe one day she won't. It wasn't until UFC that she opened my eyes and made me realize that I was letting my bias towards her blind my logical reasoning. She would co-main event against fellow bantamweight Alexis Davis and defeated her dominantly by KO through My Fight / Your Fight: The Official Ronda Rousey Autobiography combination of an overhand right, a judo throw, and punches from hell once they hit the deck. It was then that I knew she was different, she wasn't a one trick pony but a once in a lifetime athlete who transcends the sport and reaches the mainstream through her absolute dominance of her competition. Then I asked myself how is she so great? How does she make it look so easy? And why does everyone including Hollywood want to be associated with Ronda Rousey? I scoured a few articles and read that she was a hard worker and a former olympian medal winner so maybe I thought that is why she is better than everyone and let it be believing I solved it. Unbeknownst to me she had My Fight / Your Fight: The Official Ronda Rousey Autobiography book coming out today that I only found out about yesterday. I felt if it was an official biography done by the pound champ I had to get my hands on it to understand why she My Fight / Your Fight: The Official Ronda Rousey Autobiography became so great. And she showed me through what felt like a first person perspective the events that brought her to greatness. I felt like I was Rowdy Ronda Rousey going through the death of her dad, her failures and shortcomings at the pinnacle of Judo competition, living in a car, her trying to win over her current mma coach to train her, the first mma fight, the strategy to bring women's mma to the limelight, and what kinds of things she plans to do with the future. This amazing book which I read in under 6 hours was of the most inspirational books I have ever laid my eyes upon and felt necessary to write a review.
