There's just something captivating about watching a person dominate their sport.  In their primes, Michael Jordan, Earl Campbell, and Mike Tyson, just to name a few, would draw in fans, and even non-fans, just to see how many points, how many yards, and how many stopwatch knockouts would happen.  

I consider myself a big sports fan, but not one that follows Mixed Martial Arts.  However, like so many others, I have jumped on the Ronda Rousey bandwagon.  I don't understand all the rules of the sport, nor do I know any other names in MMA, male or female.  But, Rousey reminds me of Chuck Norris, and that's good enough for me.

So, where does Rousey get her drive, intensity, and determination?

Apparently, mostly from her mom, who just happened to be a world judo champion back in the day.  In fact, as you'll see in the video, Rousey is quick to point out that her ring domination is nothing compared to what her mom could have accomplished in the sport of MMA.
