\"rousey\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey, UFC bantamweight champion, has been a competitor for a large portion of her life, from Judo to the UFC.<\/p>\n

Her story is well documented. She began with Judo and eventually won an olympic bronze medal, before going on to be ‘the most dominant athlete’.<\/p>\n

One of her former Judo coaches recently talked to Times Union<\/a> about working with Rousey and about how she mentioned him in her book, ‘My Fight\/Your Fight’, which wasn’t so flattering.<\/p>\n

“She was already an exceptional competitor, which she still is today. But she was raw, and there was a lot of room for technical advances. And that’s basically where I filled in a lot of things that she does today, among other coaches. I’m just a small blip in her existence.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The reality is she owes her entire existence to our sport. Not to me or any one person. … The judo community raised her, and this is why she’s so successful.”<\/em><\/p>\n
