Personal life

Early life
Ronda Jean Rousey was born in Riverside, California, on February 1, 1987, the youngest of three daughters of AnnMaria De Mars (née Waddell), a world champion judoka, and Ron Rousey. She has two older sisters, Maria and Jennifer. Her mother’s ancestry is English with some Scottish Roots while her father is of Dutch descent. She was raised in Jamestown, North Dakota until age eight when the family settled Directory in Santa Monica, California. Rousey attendedSanta Monica High Schoolbefore dropping out. In response to comments that she received over her athletic ability, she stated that “I was called ‘manly’ because I was athletic and because I had really large muscles for a woman… that always bothered me”.

At 13 years old, Rousey began judo with her mother at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School after she told her she was too scrawny. The exercise made her into an athlete who later competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens two years later. After she placed second at the 2004 Olympics, she began mixed martial arts (MMA), considering it “a more well-rounded sport”, as it included stand-up striking while still being able to utilize judo takedowns. She was then ranked among ESPN’s top 25 fittest women of 2015 and 2016.

In 2009, after winning 12 MMA fights and losing just one (by DQ for an elbow to solar plexus), Rousey signed with MMA talent manager Darin Harvey of Fight Tribe Management LLC., who then helped sign Rousey with UFC president Dana White.
