An inspirational story of resilience and recovery from UFC and WWE legend, Ronda Rousey

From Sunday Times bestselling author, British Sports Book of the Year Award winner, and trailblazing athlete Ronda Rousey, an unfiltered and entertaining chronicle of her last decade, tackling not only UFC and WWE but also parenthood, overcoming adversity, and finding meaning in life's journey.

'You defined the division. You basically created the concept of women fighting in the UFC...

Thank you for writing this book, it's incredibly honest.' Steven Bartlett, Diary of a CEO podcast

'Rousey has rewritten her story arc, and along the way learned that self-reliance and independence is real freedom.' Guardian

'Gripping and, at its best, offers a raw personal history of concussion.' Donald McRae, Guardian

From the moment she burst onto the MMA scene, Ronda Rousey was unbeatable. She repeatedly strung together back-to-back flawless victories, racking up a collection of records and forever changing the face of sports as the UFC's first female champion. A superstar in her sport, she transcended athletics, appearing in blockbuster films and becoming a role model for women everywhere. Then, on November 15, 2015, it all came crashing down.

In OUR FIGHT, Rousey explores the greatest challenge of her life and, ultimately, how she rebuilt her career into something better in the aftermath. She recounts how she replaced her pursuit of perfection with the pursuit of happiness and found a blessing in disguise amongst the wreckage. Following Rousey's relatable journey, OUR FIGHT is a courageous narrative of career changes, marriage, motherhood, and facing your fears.

"Ronda Rousey has completely transformed the world of martial arts, beginning with a historic bronze medal showing in judo in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and, most notably, a record-setting career as the UFC's first and most dominant female fighter and Bantamweight Champion. She was the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, in 2018, the same year she exploded onto the WWE scene. The self-proclaimed ""Rowdy"" Ronda Rousey, Baddest Woman on the Planet, returned to the WWE in January of 2022, four months after giving birth to her daughter, La'akea, to win the Royal Rumble. During her time in WWE, she held the Raw, Smackdown, and multiple Tag Team titles. Rousey is also a New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author, the most-followed female athlete on social media, and an actress who has appeared in both the Fast and the Furious and The Expendables franchises. She is married to former UFC heavyweight contender Travis Browne. They live with their two sons and daughter on their small farm east of Los Angeles, California."

Reviews for Our Fight

Gripping and, at its best, offers a raw personal history of concussion * Donald McRae, Guardian * One of the most significant sports personalities of the 21st Century ... A tale of industry norms that ranges from sad to frightening * Telegraph * The kick ass hero we’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re into sports or not, you need to know about Ronda Rousey * Elle * I fell in love with Ronda Rousey when she announced to the world that she was not a “Do-Nothing Bitch.” (DNB). When Ronda suffered her first-ever UFC loss at the hands (and feet) of Holly Holm, her detractors rejoiced. But Ronda will be back. “Everybody has losses in their life, but I choose to always be undefeated.” Put this Do-something-Bitch on Mount Rushmore already -- Tina Fey * Time 100 Most Influential People * On the fight scene, there’s never, ever really been anyone quite like her * Rolling Stone *
