In her statement, Ronda Rousey mentioned that every single muscle in her body serves a purpose. The former 135-pond UFC women’s champion said, “I have this one term for the kind of woman my mother raised me to not be, and I call it a do nothing b—. A DNB. The kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by someone else.”
She further added, “That’s why I think it’s hilarious if my body looks masculine or something like that. Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f—ing millionaires doesn’t mean it’s masculine.”
“I think it’s femininely badass as f— because there’s not a single muscle on my body that isn’t for a purpose because I’m not a do nothing b—. It’s not very eloquently said but it’s to the point and maybe that’s just what I am. I’m not that eloquent, but I’m to the point,” concluded Ronda Rousey.

Ronda Rousey’s fitness is credited with the training she put on early in her life. The former UFC champion began training judo at the age of 11. Not only did Rousey’s training give her physical attributes, but it also enabled the Olympic bronze medalist to face opponents above her age.
Ronda Rousey once faced a Judoka twice her age
The Olympics are usually considered the pinnacle of sports by many. While people dream of representing their country in the Olympics, only a few can make it. Ronda Rousey is one of the few who made it to the Olympics at a very young age. However, her journey towards the same wasn’t easy.
In her bid to earn a spot on the US Olympic team, Ronda Rousey faced a Judoka who was more than twice of Rousey’s age. The young Ronda Rousey faced Grace Jividen, who was a few weeks short of celebrating her 40th birthday.
However, Rousey put up an impressive performance against Jividen. She clinched victory over the judoka in the -63kg category. Speaking about the incident, Rousey mentioned she felt like she was competing against her mom.
This win enabled Rousey to be on the team for the 2004 Athens Olympics. It was quite a shocker for the young Ronda Rousey, who originally expected to make the Olympic team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She said, “I thought I’d be going in 2008. I never thought I’d be going now. I’m really just in shock. It will take a while to sink in”
Ronda Rousey did not have a great time at the 2004 Athens Olympics. However, she realized her Olympic dream at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Ronda Rousey won a bronze medal and became the first US woman to win a medal in Judo.
