"My Fight/ Your Fight by Ronda Rousey with assistance from her sister Maria Burns Ortiz was an awesome read. Ronda tells her story in an honest, sometimes even slightly vulgar, no beating-around-the-bush matter that is highly admirable. Ronda is not a girlie girl but a tough-as-nails competitor and fighter. She has been that way her entire life and her mother, world champion in judo in her day, never once babied her. Her father committed suicide when she was very young and her mother was her biggest motivator in and out of the ring. She was taught to never give up and never give in. Ronda won many championships, tournaments and even a bronze medal in the Beijing summer Olympics for judo but never truly found fulfillment. She never really found fulfillment in her boyfriends, jobs or even judo until the day she decided she wanted to be an MMA fighter. From that day forward, she worked hard, bled, bruised and broke her body to achieve greatness in the Octagon as the first female champion of the UFC. Her story was inspiring and the details of her fight preparation, training and even her analysis of her past fights were insightful and fascinating. Highly recommended to fans of the MMA but also for anyone looking for something outside their comfort zone. She often describes slightly disturbing events and uses inappropriate language so recommended for mature audience (17+)."
