The book is currently ranks #17 out of 20 on the list. It is autobiographical, and it discusses Rousey's struggles before her rise to fame.
In the book, she discusses her struggle to earn a living wage and spending too much time partying. This, of course, was turned around when she started to take mixed martial arts seriously.
"My Fight/ Your Fight" has received positive reviews.
"This dichotomy is on full display in 'My Fight/Your Fight,'" Sherdog stated in a review of the book, "an unflinching look at the personal and professional highs and lows of the MMA starlet. Alongside award-winning journalist Maria Burns Ortiz, who also happens to be the champion's sister, Rousey details the good, the bad and the ugly without blinking an eye.
Though Ortiz clearly brings the writing chops, penning a highly readable book without diluting the content, the voice is unmistakably charged with Rousey's trademark cavalier charm and candid sass.
It is this ability to cut through the noise that allows Rousey to open the old closet and dust off whatever she finds there, including stories of failed relationships, the hollow sense of happiness after medaling at the Olympics and even an STD scare."
