Ronda Rousey: How a Champion Was Built - And What It Cost | Full Documentary | BBC Sport

Ronda Rousey sits down with BBC Sport’s Rasheed Speede, as the iconic mixed martial arts mega star opens up about her life and career.

In this intimate, thought provoking and rare insight into her life, the film tells the story of how her mother’s inspiration helped her to blaze a trail as an Olympian, a UFC champion, a professional Wrestler in the WWE and a Hollywood actress.

Now a trailblazing icon and a mother, she reveals some of the deep hidden challenges that shaped her career and talks candidly about the trials and tribulations of life in the limelight.

Ronda became the very first woman to win a UFC Championship title under Dana White, but on May 16th 2026, after a decade away from mixed martial arts, Ronda returns to the octagon in a hugely anticipated super-fight against Gina Carano under Jake Paul’s ‘Most Valuable Promotions’ (MVP) live on Netflix.
