If you work hard the fight's easy. If you don't work hard then the fight's hard.
Ronda Rousey
Image
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.

If you're fighting with emotion instead of structure... it's always going to be a mistake.

Image
Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last.

Image
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.

Image
I'm not a full model like those other girls. Mostly I was surprised that I could hang.
Ronda Rousey
Image
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.

Look at my face. Does it look like I can take a good hit?
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.

The kind of hope I'm talking about is the belief that something good will come. That everything you're going through and everything you've gone through will be worth the struggles and frustrations. The kind of hope I'm talking about is a deep belief that the world can be changed, that the impossible is possible.

Sports are a metaphor for life.
Ronda Rousey
Image
As an athlete you're taught to be selfish. When I'm training, it's usually all about me.
Ronda Rousey
Image
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.
Ronda Rousey
Image
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
Image
I kind of like to think of myself as the bad girl Olympian that would get kicked out of the Miss America pageant.

Image
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.

I think that going on any reality show is not good for your mental health because you behave differently when you are being watched, and you constantly have an extra bit of awareness of what's going on all the time.

Everything happens for a reason.

Reality TV is set up to make people entertaining. A good person with values and principles is not good television.

Image
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.
