Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Our Fight by Ronda Rousey in exchange for an honest review.
Fans of Ronda Rousey will enjoy reading her book "our Fight." I am a fan of Professional wrestling and didn't know that much about Ronda except for her wrestling career. It was nice to learn about the women she is and her fight as a woman to become the best she can be and pave the way in a difficult world where men used to only rule.
Readers will enjoy her book as she shares her biographical journey.

Have you ever seen Rousey in a match? Be it UFC or WWE, the woman is ICONIC. She brought Women’s wrestling into spotlight. Time and again, she has proved her worth with exquisite showmanship and skills.

This book is divided into the events leading up to her big UFC loss in 2015 and her entry into WWE thereafter.
The first part covers her relationships with her mom, coach, boyfriend turned husband Travis Browne and her professional dealings the man who made UFC into the behemoth it is today- Dana White.

The second part is a BIG spill on the internal workings of WWE, and I’m here for it. This part went a little longer for me, especially the detailed match descriptions. This is an uncorrected proof, not the final copy, so I hope they edit it a bit.

I think this book is an important read, for it sheds light on how the world perceives athletes, especially women. The way that media portrays them, and the actual struggles that they go through- all of this is covered in this book. She also explains why she did some things, that at the time seemed crazy. I think it’s well thought out and written.

Read this if you
- [ ] Enjoy Pro wrestling/ MMA,
- [ ] Are a fan of Ronda Rousey or
- [ ] Simply love sports memoirs.

This one’s worth a read.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Was excited to see that Ronda has written another book! Though the timelines overlap at times from the first book, we are getting a different perspective and stories. Her raw honesty of how her body was reacting to the impact of fighting and how the WWE really was an unhealthy work environment. I have followed her career, watched many of the fights referenced as well as her introduction into the WWE and her reality work in Mars. She really laid it all out there, she is brave for sharing her story especially against the large WWE corporation that I am sure many do not feel comfortable speaking up on but agree with. I am happy she has come out on top and puts her family first.

This book gives a very candid, behind the scenes look of Ronda Rousey's life during her UFC and WWE years. Readers get all the details of what her training regiment was along with what she endured mentally and physically to become the best in the UFC and how hard she took her losses, especially her first MMA loss along with her eventual transition to WWE. I really enjoyed learning more about her run in WWE as I didn't watch her there like I did when she competed in UFC. I've always known professional wrestling was just "sports entertainment" and scripted but also didn't know just how on the fly it was as well. I think anyone that has followed Ronda throughout her career will really enjoy this memoir and how refreshingly honest she is with all of her ups and downs. Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an ARC of this book to read and provide my unbiased review on.

This book was very captivating from the very beginning. I did not know much about Ronda Rousy but thought I would like to know more about her life. Wow is all I can say.

Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Our Fight by Ronda Rousey in exchange for an honest review. I have been a fan of Rousey since I saw her on Expendables 2 or 3. I like her style of fighting, her quirky smile and have she embodies "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." This book was a beautiful exposure of her life and what makes her her.

I was very interested in starting this book, as we followed Ronda through a lot of her fights. I must admit that I will not be finishing this book. It was fairly interesting the first half of the book, but then when we transitioned to her wrestling career. While it was interesting to learn the behind the scenes aspect of fighting and wrestling it does seem like everyone is against her. Like this book is ultimately about her exposing everyone that wronged her along the way. Maybe it truly was her experience and it was her against everyone but unfortunately it just lost me. I was not actively reaching to finish it and felt like I was forcing myself to read through it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy of this book.

Ronda Rousey unleashes it all in this unfiltered, raw, inspiring, and sometimes humorous reflection on her life and what she witnessed in the UFC, WWE, and her personal life. This book gives a fantastic, behind-the-scenes look at the big organizations and also goes into how she felt when certain matches didn't go in her favor or when she decided to dabble in other fields to see where they would take her.

There's a lot to love here, with Rousey opening up about her first UFC loss to Holly Holm in 2015 and the emotions she experienced in the aftermath. The vulnerability Rousey lets loose is highly appreciated and gives both fans and detractors a different view of the story and of her career. From there, Rousey opens up about her ventures into WWE and its endless travel situation, script changes, and issues with upper management -- namely Vince McMahon.

Our Fight serves not only as a memoir, but also as a motivational piece for people out there who have felt like they've been beaten down and want to give up on everything. It gives Rousey the opportunity to go deep into stories that she hasn't quite gone into before. It's a fast-paced read that will keep fans and casual observes engaged from start to finish.

Our Fight by Ronda Rousey was obtained directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. Ronda Rousey is a name known to most people, for many reasons. I know her from her fighting days and then the WWE, even though I rarely, if ever, watch either. This book covers a 15-20 year time frame from her beginnings through her MMA career and then her WWE career. Ronday seems candid and honest and gives personal insights into her thoughts and the like during those times. I have not read her first book but I will look for it, as she, or her ghost writer, writes in a way that I can relate to. If you, or someone you buy gifts for is a fan of Ronda, give this book a read.

5 Stars

Anyone familiar with UFC or WWE knows the name Rowdy Ronda Rousey. A legend in UFC history and a badass on WWE, she shares her story starting at her time at UFC until the end of her WWE career. As a fan, her book answered all the questions I had regarding her time with WWE. She’s not shy about calling out others on their BS, and it’s highly refreshing! Ronda is more than just a fighter and a champion, she’s a wife and a mother, and even took on the role as a farmer. Each key point in her life has lead her to where she is today. If you’re looking for a memoir that’s unique and inspiring, give Our Fight a chance

Rousey has lived enough experiences for two lives, as an olympian, UFC fighter, WWE wrestler, wife, mother, and glass ceiling smasher. In this autobiography she shares the lessons that she learned along the way about what drives her, and us, to do what we do and how we live our lives. This is a raw and exposing look at her life. A word of caution, if you are uncomfortable with marijuana use or have trauma related to control/manipulation/abuse this might be a difficult read.

Mostly covers her UFC and WWE runs up until the Shayna match. Also contains a reasonable amount of family and coach drama.

A couple of minor errors, like adding a 'k' to Ric Flair's first name. That's going to annoy a lot of wrestling fans probably more than it should. Weirdly though she gets that one right towards the end.

Her take on the traditional approach to structuring a match (mostly improv) in contrast to how her first match was done (rehearsed heavier than anything on Broadway) is interesting. I get that all of the constant changes from the Vince era were frustrating even to guys at the Foley and 'Taker level, but I'm still under the impression that calling spots on the fly is just the normal way of doing things. RR really seems to hate that approach. It'll be interesting to watch how they handle Logan Paul moving forward with this in mind.

Some of it might come across as excessive complaining, such as her claim that when she botched a spot #FireRonda started trended, but nobody said anything when somebody hurt Big E. (Ridge Holland might disagree with her on that). For the most part though, she sticks to the story and it's a good story.

One last thing: She stopped writing just a little too early and so missed the big news about Vince that came out just before the 2024 Royal Rumble. Hopefully they're able to update before the official release. RR's take on Vince isn't earthshattering (everybody knows he's a scumbag), but she's in a position to give it weight. She doesn't like him.

This book shows the softer side of the author. I went into this book with an idea of who Ronda Rousey is. This book changed that. This is story of the real Ronda Rousey and how easy it is to be misunderstood when on a public platform. The author also discusses her time in the WWE which is interesting. I really enjoyed learning more about the private life of this author and seeing the softer side of her as a mother.

I LOVED Ronda’s first book. I struggled with this one, especially when she talked about losing her fight, and how her relationship with a married man began.
That being said, as a former boxer- it takes a lot of hard work to prep for a fight, so I will always have respect for someone who puts their body through rigorous training, because it is TOUGH. This book was just not it for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review this Advanced Reader Copy of Our Fight by Ronda Rousey.

I think that I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars as a rating. For a book that totes itself as a book that Rousey herself wishes that she had on the worst days of her life, I think it would serve well to help someone see through the shadows and depths of pain and into the positivity of what else is out there.

I did not read Ronda’s first book and I am upset about that fact because this is very well written. The best types of memoir’s are the ones that read like how you assume the author themselves would speak. Rousey takes a page out of fellow competitor Jon Moxley’s book and provides a no-holds barred look into the world of combat sports.

We get to see Ronda move from her career in mixed martial arts to the pinnacle of sports entertainment. Ronda pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of professional wrestling to show us a glimpse of what that experience is like in what is a none more timely release given the current state of the WWE and their (now former) Chairman of the Board, Vince McMahon.

I think that this story was very well done and gives you a close glimpse at the life that Ronda has lived and helps explain the highest of highs (no pun intended) but we also get to experience the visceral feeling of the lowest of lows that she experiences. This is a story that anyone who has failed and been in the depths must read.

The only knock that I have on this book is that it goes out of its way to over explain professional wrestling and its unique terms and experience. While this makes it accessible to more masses, those who come here as lifelong fans may sit back at some of the definitions or over explanations. Additionally while I did review an unfinished ARC, some of the mistakes (some grammatical and others like calling co-workers the incorrect name like Tegan Nox [Steffanie Newell] being referred to as ‘Tegan Watson’]) are a little jarring to read at this stage of publishing.

Despite those last comments, this was an exciting read that anyone interested in Ronda the athlete, entertainer, actress, or person should read.

A really well written memoir that I deeply enjoyed reading it discusses the flaws and benefits of the leagues she was in, and the difficult times she had. Thanks for the arc

I have always had an admiration for Ronda Rousey. This book just gives light of what she went through, through a hardship of her life. I very much enjoyed reading this book!

I've been a huge fan of Ronda's career since she was in the Olympics all the way through her run with WWE. Her story is not only uplifting for woman who have face adversary, and hopped over the barriers in male driven careers, but it a testament that woman can do anything they out their mind to do.

Very reflective, honest, and candid. I loved how Ronda dissected each moment and how it impacted her. I’m a perfectionist and overachiever and despite other people’s thoughts about how she handled that loss to Holly Holm, I completely understand her. It just felt so inspiring to read about someone hitting rock bottom, really stewing in their grief, and coming out the other side. Reading about her and Travis Browne was fascinating too because I had so many misconceptions about their relationship during that time. Damn, they’re perfect together! I actually teared up during the last chapter when Browne’s words after her devastating loss come back full circle, “You’re more than just a fighter….” We are all more than our worst days and I truly did find this a captivating memoir as someone reflects on that.

Just like any other celebrity memoir, I would only recommend if you’re a fan or familiar with the person. I really enjoyed the UFC part and Ronda picking up the pieces after her loss but not so much into the second half talking about her time in the WWE. Also a great behind the scenes look at behind the scenes of the UFC and WWE.

I don’t give memoirs a rating but this is one is well done.

Introduced to Ronda via my son’s interest in WWE…I was not expecting this story from her. Very open with the shortcomings of her time in WWE from match times being cut, last minute changes, little to no communication amongst bigger issues she worked to overturn in the industry.

I’ve also never got to the end of a memoir and feared for someone’s physical safety and health as much as I have with this book. Really get a walkthrough of the impact being an Olympic athlete, UFC fighter Turned WWE athlete had on Ronda. While many would be “afraid to bite the hand that feeds them” it was refreshing that Ronda shared what she did and got to the realization on being “more than just a fighter”
