Ronda Rousey showed off her toned body in "Self" magazine as the UFC champ shared the challenges she endured to win the Olympics.
The undefeated fighter graced the cover of the November 2015 issue of Self magazine dressed in a red wraparound swimsuit.
In the accompanying interview, Ronda Rousey revealed the sacrifices she made when she was still young to get where she is now.
"When I was a kid, all I did was train," she recounted. "I never went to a dance, I never had a date, I never went to a single party. Training was my whole life, and it was because I wanted to be able to win the Olympics more than I wanted to go to the movies with my friends. It's funny, because people get offended by the mind-set that it takes to be the best."
Now, UFC champ Ronda Rousey is the most dominant fighter in the world, bar none.
She further explain her mindset, "If I say that I'm the best in the world, sometimes people think that's really cocky and arrogant, but I had to work hard to be able to believe in myself. In your teens, you start to become super self-conscious. I had to build that up."
But the undefeated UFC champion has a bigger goal in mind and that's to become transcendent.
"I want my name to be mentioned along with Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali," she said. "And I don't want the word woman to be in front of champion."
Ronda Rousey's toned body was on full display on the said "Self" magazine issue, which is a good thing in light of the recent body shaming from social media against the UFC champ as some people accused her of having a masculine built.
In an episode of UFC Embedded, Ronda Rousey slammed the body shamers as she said, "Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f***ing millionaires doesn't mean it's masculine."
"I think it's femininely bad**s as f**k because there's not a single muscle on my body that isn't for a purpose because I'm not a do nothing b***h," she added.
