5 Things We Learned From Reading Ronda Rousey’s Book Our Fight

5 Things We Learned From Reading Ronda Rousey’s Book Our Fight




Ronda Rousey's memoir, Our Fight, offers an intimate look into her personal and professional journey. Here are five key insights from the book:

1. Emotional Aftermath of UFC 193 Loss: Following her defeat by Holly Holm in 2015, Rousey faced profound emotional turmoil, admitting she contemplated suicide. The unwavering support from her future husband, Travis Browne, played a crucial role in her recovery.

2. Role in Bret Hart's Hall of Fame Incident: At the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, when Bret Hart was attacked, Rousey's husband, Travis Browne, was the first to intervene. Rousey recounts urging him to act swiftly while cautioning him against excessive force, highlighting the surreal nature of the event.

3. Challenges in WWE's Male-Dominated Environment: Rousey discusses the gender biases within WWE, noting instances where women's matches were deprioritized. For example, before WrestleMania 35, she was discouraged from performing certain moves because male wrestlers had planned similar spots, underscoring the persistent challenges women face in the industry.

4. Low Point at Survivor Series 2022: Her match against Shotzi at Survivor Series 2022 was heavily criticized due to multiple mistimed spots. Rousey felt humiliated, especially when fans initiated a #FireRonda movement afterward. She observed that similar backlash wasn't directed at male wrestlers after serious in-ring incidents, reflecting on the double standards in wrestling.

5. Perspective on WrestleMania 35 Main Event: Rousey reveals that the historic women's main event at WrestleMania 35 was finalized just the night before, a scenario unlikely for men's matches. Despite being advised against using certain moves to avoid redundancy with men's matches, she incorporated them anyway, challenging the existing norms.

Our Fight provides a candid exploration of Rousey's experiences, shedding light on the personal and professional challenges she navigated in her career.
