Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres, Rousey Stated, “Well my mom. She was an example of being a working, strong mother.

And I always felt like I could do anything as a mom because of her and I wanted to give my little girl the same example.”
Ronda Rousey spoke openly about her mothering experiences
According to “The Baddest Woman on the Planet” she felt a semi-truck full of razor blades hit her in the crotch shortly after giving birth to her baby, which drove her insane at first.
Additionally, she also mentioned that she wants breastfeeding to be accepted as a normal thing in society. As she stated, “They had never seen anyone breastfeed before, so they didn’t know it was a normal thing and acceptable to do in public. I wanted to put it out there that ‘Hey, this is normal, this is natural.’ I can work, I can kick butt, and I can feed my little baby girl at the same time.”
