Our Fight

A Memoir

By: Ronda Rousey, Maria Burns Ortiz

Narrated by: Ronda Rousey

From New York Times bestselling author and trailblazing athlete Ronda Rousey, an unfiltered chronicle of her last decade, tackling her explosive career transition, parenthood, overcoming adversity, and finding meaning in life.

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 life into something better in the aftermath. She recounts how she replaced her pursuit of perfection with the pursuit of happiness and found an opportunity 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.

What a Career

This insight into Ronda’s MMA career and her WWE career was incredible. She truly is a pioneer in combat sports for women and deserved better when she entered the squared circle than she got. I hope one day soon she will see a WWE that respects the women enough to have them involved in story telling early and for women’s matches to not be short or shortened just so men’s matches have time to tell there stories. As a Fan who only came back in the last 4 years, it’s been the women’s division that has been the most exciting seeing Bianca and Becky’s story. Seeing Liv start her revenge tour, seeing Becky and Nia’s story(even though I don’t like Nia, some wrestlers you just don’t click with, I know I’m a mark/nerd but i don’t care) these stories were special. And maybe I was one of the only fans to enjoy Shanya vs. Ronda but that match was something magical and both women deserve their kudos. I really expected Shanya to move up the card and get a title run but it seems Vince or maybe someone else shattered that momentum. Fingers crossed Shanya gets a run and maybe just maybe we will see Ronda return for redemption against one of her closest friends!!!!

Raw and honest

It’s an amazing listen. She’s raw and honest. She goes into details and does not hold back.

Finally, I have closure!!

Loved the book & appreciate that it was written/narrated like “my fight, your fight” was. It’s like I picked up where I left off. Glad you’re doing well Ronda!

Unadulterated, Fearless Feedback.

Ronda holds nothing back and shows she’s one of the most fearless and non-intimidating story tellers ever. She eviscerates the WWE in a never before seen no holds barred style.

Big Fan - She’s a hater

Typical, really. This book made Ronda look like a cry baby. Always a victim. Sad really. I enjoyed it but we all knew she wasn’t long for the Rasslin world

Great story!!

I love that she never holds back, extremely vulnerable, and speaks from the heart. Enjoyed it probably more than the first one.

Spectacular!

I have always been a fan. This was so awesome & the sheer fact that I lived watching it in real time but with this book relived all the high, lows, and emotions all over again. Fucking phenomenal!

Raw and uncompromising

Loved the raw uncompromising telling of her story. I watched live and on TV most of this story and it revealed lots of insights on the business side of sports entertainment. I was super exited to see Rhonda back in WWE but her exit left me with lots of questions. Now I know what happened. Thanks for sharing your story. Be true to yourself, be a rebel, be a mom, be a pro wrestler, be a professional fighter, be Rhonda.

Inspirational, But Different

I have read & listened to many autobiographies & biographies, because they're what I enjoy the most. Anyone whose work or talent I respect, admire, or enjoy, I read their books. So when this one came out I wanted to listen & find out more about Ronda Rousey's life & career. In the grand scheme of everything, the book is inspirational, heartbreaking, intense, & frustrating. A majority of the book is her venting & complaining about obstacles in her life, and in most instances with good reason. I appreciate her telling so much behind the scenes information about her times in UFC and WWE. And I do hope the best for her & her family. Most of the time when I read or listen to an autobiography or biography book, I walk away having learned a lot more about the person, and in most cases, I have more respect or admiration for that individual. This is one of those unique books where I come out feeling the same way as I went in. I had the same feeling with Philip Norman's "John Lennon: The Life" and Scottie Pippen's "Unguarded". I can see how it would inspire others though and I hope that it does. I appreciate Ronda Rousey writing it and overall, would recommend it to others.

Makes me wish I followed her story more when it was happening!

I love how humanizing hearing her stories was. I need to rewatch her matches in MMA and WWE now!
