The “F*ck You” Mindset That Made Me Champion | Ronda Rousey

I don't touch gloves at the beginning of the fight and the bell rings, it's go. It's the person who wants it most that's going to reach out and grab that victory in that moment. If you're the kind of person that's willing to do anything to win, you're the kind of person that's willing to put up with anything to win. You know, I feel like uh I'm really vilified by MMA media at at this point. I'm pretty sure if I walked into the arena, I'd be booed.

Rhonda Rousey is back in the spotlight on Netflix fighting Gina Carano, so I think you should really hear this conversation we had with her in Hollywood. Because when most people talk about Rhonda, they talk about the knockouts, the titles, the losses. They rarely talk about the fact she walked into the final fights of her career already concussed. that she taught herself a submission that had never been done before in UFC history in fourteen seconds, while secretly hiding a brain she was terrified was breaking down. This is Rhonda, beautifully unfiltered.

Enjoy. Would you mind just describing the mindset of a young Rhonda Rousey Competing in judo at a young age, like what was happening in that brain? What was happening on that mat? Uh, well, yeah, the fuck you mentality.
