I’ve separated my shoulder and my collarbone; I’ve messed up my knee a million times. I’ve broken my foot in several places. I’ve broken my toe a bunch, broken my nose a couple of times, and had a bunch of other annoying little injuries, like turf toe and arthritis and tendonitis. It’s part of the game.

I’m a big crier. I never cry when something is painful, but I cry if things are frustrating. Like if I’m trying to do something, and I mess up over and over. If I’m playing a video game, and I can’t beat a level that I’ve tried 10 times, I’ll cry. When I was a kid, I think I cried for every practice from 2003 to the middle of 2006. Ronda Rousey Read Quote
I just like when a guy dresses for comfort, to be honest. If he takes longer to get ready than I do, that’s a deal breaker. Ronda Rousey Read Quote
Judo was one of those sports where they give you guidelines but then try to tell you to develop your own style. Ronda Rousey Read Quote
Kids don’t like what they don’t understand, and judo was always my social outlet. I always felt really socially awkward, and I couldn’t speak very well when I was younger. When I was doing judo, it was something that I could understand and someplace where I felt that I belonged and fit in. Ronda Rousey Read Quote
Somehow, people act like I have no competition, but the thing is, the competition is so good that it forces me to be better than I even thought was possible. Ronda Rousey Read Quote
A lot of people, once they become champion, they relax, kind of sit in the position and try to enjoy it. But I feel like everything I’ve ever worked for could be lost at any moment. I work harder and harder and harder, because I want to be farther ahead with every fight, and not worrying about these girls catching up to me. Ronda Rousey Read Quote
