Ronda Rousey has a new book coming out on May 12. The book is called My Fight / Your Fight and she is currently doing the rounds of the media to promote it.
She was featured in article in the New York Post:
About difficult childhood:
“Rousey was born in Riverside County, Calif., with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. She was blue. Doctors revived her, but those crucial moments without oxygen led to developmental delays. She didn’t begin talking until she was 4 years old.
“At about 6, I began speaking coherently in sentences,” Rousey says. “They told me I had brain damage from the hypoxia. But when you’re a kid, your brain figures out a way to reorganize.”
Her beloved dad and namesake, Ron, encouraged her. “You’re a smart kid,” he’d say. “It’s not like you’re some f- -kin’ moron.”
She talks about her father’s suicide:
“When Rousey was 8, her father killed himself, committing suicide by asphyxia in the family garage while Ronda and her sister Jennifer watched Nickelodeon in the living room. He had suffered chronic, acute back pain since a freak accident a few years before, but no one saw it coming.”
“None of us were the same after that,” Rousey says. Her father’s death was the most formative event of her life, and she almost never talks about it.
“I never wanted to be in the situation where I’ve told the story so many times that I become detached from it and don’t cry,”
Ronda was yesterday on ‘Good Morning America’ and used her best moves to throw the host:
