Ronda Rousey: Internet comment ignorer, Pokemon forum moderator, graphic novelist, combat legend
Description
Ronda Rousey has collected all the fighting accolades and milestones: first US woman to medal in Olympic judo, first woman signed to the UFC and first female UFC champ, first woman in the UFC Hall of Fame... she was in the first women’s match to headline WrestleMania... the list goes on.
She's also a prolific writer, having authored two memoirs plus a biopic screenplay based on those books, which has been acquired by Netflix.
And she made two big announcements at San Diego Comic-Con this year: her second child is on the way, and so is her debut graphic novel, Expecting the Unexpected, which is about a deadly hit-woman who wears a fake baby bump filled with guns, until she becomes actually pregnant and must balance creating life with taking them. Unsurprisingly, the project has nearly tripled its Kickstarter goal.
Ronda joined LOG OFF to discuss much of the above, plus walk us through her Internet journey.
