Ex-UFC fighter Ronda Rousey once revealed how she got involved with a “creepy” guy in her teenage years. Even though Rousey was surrounded by boys growing up, this particular boy stood out. As she mentioned in her book My Fight / Your Fight’ she revealed how he was persistent in his efforts. The boy was in his twenties while Rousey was just 16 years old. The two met at a training camp. ‘Rowdy’ was falling for the lies and games that the older boy was making up to emotionally and physically manipulate her. The reason was that she was only surrounded by boys in her judo classes, and there, they saw her in a sisterly way. The only one who did not abide by these sisterly rules the guy whom she referred to as D*ck IttyBitty in her book.

Ronda Rousey mentioned all these personal details in the chapter ‘You Will Never Win a Fight by Running Away’. She recalled the time she was being a stupid teenage girl. For her, it is an unpleasant memory. ‘Rowdy’ also recalled how her mother had already warned her about the boy.

Rousey’s mother lashed out at her saying, “Ronda, you know why a guy in his twenties goes after sixteen-year-old girls? Because they’re dumb enough to believe his bulls**t. I would like to believe you’re smarter than that. Seriously, it’s creepy.”
