Rousey wows on Jimmy Kimmel

Greatness in fighting is not established in winning easy, it is built in coming back, in overcoming challenge. In the arena of media and popular opinion, Ronda Rousey had a rough night Saturday, giving back to back interviews in which she came across as less than a role model.

However, Monday night on The Jimmy Kimmel show, Rousey roared back, charming Kimmel and the crowd with stories about Thanksgiving, learning Judo from her mom, and beating the stew out of a pack of boys in a movie theater.
