'Success' is perhaps the best word to describe Ronda Rousey. The blonde has no opponents in the UFC and shines every day in her appearances in the cinema or in advertising campaigns. However, the blonde's life wasn't always like this. In her official biography “My Fight / Your Fight”, Ronda reveals that she went through a routine of drugs and alcohol

According to the New York Post newspaper, the champion's book reports that after competing in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, where she finished with the bronze medal, the fighter became frustrated at not having achieved gold and lost interest in to compete. From that moment on, Ronda's life changed.
“Rousey began smoking and drinking heavily and would often start the day with cigarettes and vodka. She developed a habit of consuming a combination of marijuana and Vicodin. Ronda slept in the car, and when she found an apartment, all she could afford was a small studio,” says an excerpt from the book. Reports of lack of control continue elsewhere.
“On more than one occasion, dirt came up the drains and toilet, so I had to survive in an apartment full of shit. I don’t think I could go any lower,” Rousey described.
Ronda's life changed when she saw a women's MMA fight on TV and thought, “I can totally do that.” Today, Rousey is considered the most dominant athlete in world sport.
The book
The biography of Ronda Rousey, written by the fighter with the help of her sister, will be released this Tuesday in the United States. It is estimated that thousands of copies have already been purchased through pre-sale. There is still no forecast for the release of the publication in Brazil.
