Samenvatting:

Ronda Rousey — Most dangerous unarmed woman on the planet. She's also an Olympic bronze medalist, UFC champion, and world’s largest female pay-per-view draw...

But it wasn’t always that way. Once a shy, frustrated child, an outcast in school, & an unwelcome competitor in a male-dominated sport, walk along with Rousey as she pulls herself up from an unthinkable tragedy to become the UFC’s first female fighter & one of the greatest female athletes of our time.

"I’ve been through so much that there isn’t much left that can scare me. I’ve felt the most pain that I could ever feel, and I’ve felt the most pressure that I could feel and there’s nothing else left. And I believe that I’m capable of doing anything."

“I am extremely excited to announce Ronda Rousey: The Biography. With mixed martial arts being the world’s fastest growing sport, this is a sure-fire bestseller. But you don’t have to be a fan of the UFC to enjoy it. Her life is a Rocky, comeback tale if there ever was one — going from barely surviving birth, struggling with speech, being an outcast in school, to experiencing an unmentionable childhood tragedy; going from that to the Olympics, uncovering a child molestation scandal, entering mixed martial arts and then finally dominating the competition. Men, women, fans, or not — Ronda’s story is something anyone can appreciate.”
