This is an extremely candid look at Ronda Rousey’s time in UFC and the WWE. It’s enlightening and a sometimes tough look at how both organizations work and how the athletes work even harder.

She is so much more than a fighter and athlete, although she has accomplished a great deal as both of those. A great read and I loved learning that she’s also into WoW, LOTR and other ‘nerdy’ pursuits.

*Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.*

Candid, honest and a very personal insight into not only her life but her private thoughts as well.
This book takes you through a journey as Ronda talks openly of her life, from a young judo Olympian, her transition into the world of MMA and the UFC, through to her final days with the WWE, as well as becoming a wife and a mother.
The highs, the lowest of lows and everything in between!
I only know of her from her MMA and UFC days as well as being in the films Expendables 3 and Fast and Furious 7 so to get such a personal insight to her life before and after that was extremely interesting as well as inspiring.
I know she built her career and reputation being an inspiration to women in the world of sports but there is so much else to her than just her fighting accomplishments that this book shows, and as her husband Travis tells her in the book “You are so much more than just a fighter” and he is right.
This book does feature her time within the WWE quite heavily, an entertainment sport I have no idea about, but I still enjoyed reading about her time in the organisation and the highs and lows it entailed.
Whether you are a Ronda Rousey fan, a UFC fan, WWE fan, sports fan or not, this is a really interesting, insightful look into the life and mind of a trail blazing woman.
You don’t need to be any of the above to enjoy and appreciate the book. The book will keep you reading regardless, but if you are a fan of any of the above this is definitely a book every fan needs to read.

Our Fight
By Ronda Rousey
5⭐️


I knew of Ronda Rousey before I read her new book, Our Fight. I followed her via the media. Through the likes of ESPN, People, and TMZ, I got the Ronda Rousey "highlights" version. So I was aware of the UFC record, her movie roles, and the wrestler versions of Rousey. She opens up in Our Fight to tell us how she REALLY feels about it everything, how she handles change on her life and facing her fears. She is honest and even blunt on all aspects of her journey- positive, negative, and all the in betweens.

I received an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’m surprised with how candid Ronda is in this book about her experience with WWE. Too often, we’re stuck with sanitized accounts of WWE backstage dealings but Our Fight was an unfiltered, honest look at the wrestling business from someone who has main evented Wrestlemania within the past 5 years. I read this book within 48 hours and couldn’t put it down. A must read for any UFC/WWE fan

Our Fight is a comprehensive look back at the last 15-20 years of Ronda Rousey’s career from her early days as an Olympic Judo medalist, to her start in MMA, and her work with the WWE, plus everything in her personal life that has happened in between.

What an awesome book! Some of the things I really enjoyed about this book were how reflective it was. She looks back at each phase of her life and touches on lessons she learned along the way, whether that be in the moment or after the fact. She does an awesome job of breaking it down from the outside looking in. This was a nice quick read that really flowed well from one segment of her life to the next, while still including small details that help set the mood.

Roughly the last 50% of this book focuses on her WWE career along with her journey into motherhood. I would say this is what really pushed this from a 4 star up to a 5 star book for me. Getting a behind the scenes look at her runs with the WWE was extremely interesting and detailed a good amount of things that I had no idea happened.

This book was provided to me by Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for my honest and fair opinion, but I can say with certainty that this is a book that I would recommend to anyone that even has the slightest interest in nonfiction or memoirs

I stayed up all night reading this book! I thoroughly enjoyed Rousey's first memoir and was eagerly-anticipating her next work. It did not disappoint! She was incredibly candid, thoughtful, reflective, and honest in this raw account of the hardest years of her life and career as a professional fighter. I felt enlightened, but also, empathetic for the pain and consternation she endured from fans, coaches, and the media alike.

Rousey's story deserves to be told and her candor makes this anything but a run-of-the-mill celebrity autobiography.
