![]() ![]() “My Fight/Your Fight,” is Rousey’s first book, and there is no doubt this is an authorized biography: The UFC undefeated bantamweight champion co-authored the gripping 300-page elucidation of her life and success with journalist Maria Burns Ortiz, who just happens to be Rousey’s sister. Rousey, who is without a doubt the emotional and cerebral offspring of a steadfast family with a distinct fighting spirit, has offered us a stunning peek into what makes her the most dominant UFC athlete on earth. It’s the complex, menacing mentality of a warrior that is difficult for non-fighters to truly comprehend. Ronda Rousey wants to grab our attention and command it, much like she grasps her opponents in the Octagon and quickly subdues, then destroys them. ![]()

Don't mix this one up with "The Little Engine That Could!", although nominally they are both about trains that come through in a crisis.Many crowd scenes of people - almost all of white people then one scene of Native Americans in traditional dress - teepees, etc. Otherwise, there's no real plot here - just scenes of the countryside that the train is going through. The little red caboose is at the end of the train but has a function to fulfill. The Little Red Caboose makes "his" journey over the mountain and around the countryside. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Socks cleary![]() It refers to those questions that require a simple, factual answer.
