Ortega/Getty Ronda Rousey is opening up about her life in and out of the public eye. The UFC and WWE champion exclusively shared the cover of her forthcoming memoir, Our Fight, with PEOPLE. The book will be published next April. “I’ve been silent the last few years because there was more to say than could ever be relayed in an interview,” Rousey says in a statement to PEOPLE. "Our Fight is everything I’ve wished I could fit into a headline but just couldn’t. My story in my words. All the answers I needed years to give succinctly.”Our Fight, which is Rousey's second book following 2015's My Fight / Your Fight, will detail the inside story of Rousey’s professional career. Getting her start in mixed martial arts, Rousey won the Olympic bronze medal in 2008 for judo, becoming the first American woman to win a medal in the event. Rousey would also become UFC’s first female champion — donning the nickname "Rowdy" — and helped to pave the way for other women in the sport. 'Our Fight' by Ronda Rousey.

Rousey left UFC in 2016. She has since become an actress, starring in films, such as The Expendables 3, Furious 7 and Charlie’s Angels, and the debut season of the reality TV series, Stars on Mars, which had Rousey and other contestants competing against one another on a simulated version of Mars. Rousey also writes of her journey toward motherhood. She and her husband, fellow former UFC fighter Travis Browne, welcomed their daughter, La'akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne, in 2021."I think the best part about it is that it's mentally made me more healthy and made me stop beating myself up so much because I'm so concerned with taking care of her,” Rousey told PEOPLE in 2023.
