UFC legend Ronda Rousey cared more about being bantamweight champion ‘Than anybody ever Has’

Ronda Rousey’s drive to be the best was drilled into her at a very early age.

As a child, Rousey dreamed of being an all-star swimmer before inevitably following in her mother’s footsteps, becoming one of the best judokas in the world and capturing a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
