More quotes by Ronda Rousey
There have always been people who have written me off. They're not going away. I use that to motivate me. I'm driven to show them just how wrong they are.
Ronda Rousey
I never aspired to be 2nd. I was taught... you can do whatever you want in this world, so why not be the best in the world?
Ronda Rousey
I'm the most dangerous unarmed women in the world, I've prepared my entire life to be that way.
Ronda Rousey
I got a lot of body paint on me in a short period of time. I would definitely do it again because Joann Gair is so brilliant, but I would definitely need, like, a good long break for it.
Ronda Rousey
I knew that I liked what I was doing, that it was what I wanted to do for a living, and that the profession didn't really exist so much. So I had to create it.?
Ronda Rousey
The reaction has been amazing because there is no woman that could look at these covers and not be like, 'That's what I could look like,' or, 'I pretty much already look like one of these chicks.' It really makes beauty seem so much more attainable to people.
Ronda Rousey
Everyone wants to win. But to truly succeed - whether it is at a sport or at your job or in life - you have to be willing to do the hard work, overcome the challenges, and make the sacrifices it takes to be the best at what you do.
Ronda Rousey
Whenever people call me the first female this or that, it doesn't make it more special because no one in front of me wanted the same job. I've always wanted weird stuff and enjoyed things differently than other girls.
Ronda Rousey
No one is easy until you actually beat them.
Ronda Rousey
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.
Ronda Rousey
One thing that I learned from judo... Maximum efficiency and minimum effort.
Ronda Rousey
Where is women's sports prominently displayed with the men? Tennis is the only thing I can think of.
Ronda Rousey
If I could have had everything exactly the way I wanted, this is how I would have written it down. Win all my fights in the first round, then go to the UFC and headline a show, and have it as a pay-per-view and at home. People's dreams don't come true like that.
Ronda Rousey
Most people focus on the wrong thing They focus on the result, not the process. The process is the sacrifice it's all the hard parts - the sweat, the pain, the tears, the losses. You make the sacrifices anyway. You learn to enjoy them, or at least embrace them. In the end, it is the sacrifices that must fulfill you.
Ronda Rousey
You have to have fear in order to have courage.
Ronda Rousey
I'm not a full model like those other girls. Mostly I was surprised that I could hang.
Ronda Rousey
I train to be the best in the world on my worst day
Ronda Rousey
The bigger my chest is, the more it gets in the way. It just creates space. It makes me much more efficient if I don't have so much in the way between me and my opponent.
Ronda Rousey
If you work hard the fight's easy. If you don't work hard then the fight's hard.
Ronda Rousey
I thought that I was mutant somehow. I eventually realized that I have a very natural look, and that's what God gave me, and I'm proud of it. It was kind of a way for me to get past that as well.
