While many look at Ronda Rousey’s Olympic bronze medal as an incredible accomplishment, the undefeated UFC women’s bantamweight champion looks at it as a source of motivation every time she steps into the Octagon.<\/p>\n

She spoke about her Olympic medal during the UFC 193 media day scrum at Glendale Fight Club.<\/p>\n

“I still get (motivation) from never winning the Olympics.”<\/p>\n

“That was my childhood dream and I spent my whole life in pursuit of that. And I had to give that up. I had to really come to terms that it wasn’t going to happen. And I’ve always really been heartbroken by that.<\/p>\n

“But in a way I’m grateful because I feel that if I did win the Olympics then I wouldn’t have the never-ending source of motivation that I have today.”<\/p>\n

“Every time I defend my title it’s another chance to redeem myself. But it’s never quite an Olympic gold medal. And that’s how I stay I motivated.”<\/p>\n

Rousey will face Holly Holm at UFC 193 on November 14th, and look to continue her unbeaten streak. See an extended trailer for the event by clicking THIS LINK.<\/a><\/p>\n
