I don't want little girls to have the same ambitions as me. But I want them to know that it's okay to be ambitious.

For girls it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight actually. Not with like everybody, I don't put out like a Craigslist ad or anything, but if I got a steady I'm going to be like 'yo, fight time's coming up.

When I looked at the state of women's MMA, what I saw was that it was missing rivalries or anything theatrical about it. Everybody was trying to be Miss America, unwilling to go under any kind of criticism, and taking the safe answers. I thought I needed to do whatever I could to get attention.

It's your purpose to leave the world better than how you found it.

Even though I was painted, even though I had on seven layers of paint - to the point that I got a tan, it was as thick as a fabric - I think I felt the most naked because I couldn't cover myself at all. I didn't have to, so I had to be much more open and relaxed.

One thing that I learned from judo... Maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

That's why I love fighting, because I get to have a big battle every couple months to make up for the little battles I have to forfeit every day

My father would say, 'Ronnie, you're going to be someone special. Whatever it is that you want to do, you're going to be the best in the world at it.'

I kind of like to think of myself as the bad girl Olympian that would get kicked out of the Miss America pageant.

The confusing thing is we now live in a society where it's not illegal to be an asshole, but it's illegal to slap one.
