In this revealing memoir, undefeated UFC champion and Hollywood star Ronda Rousey charts her difficult path to glory, revealing her tragic childhood and her father’s suicide, her meteoric rise to fame, the secret behind her undefeated UFC record, and what it takes to become the toughest woman on Earth.
Rousey (11-0 with nine submissions) has won all five of her fights in the UFC, with the most recent a 14-second first-round destruction of Cat Zingano. All but one of the 28-year-old's victories has come in the first round, and she's finished off nine of 11 foes with her famous armbar.
