AceShowbiz - Ronda Rousey may be one of the UFC's wealthiest stars, but she was living in a ramshackle house before her rise to fame. In a preview clip of her upcoming documentary "In Her Father's Eye", Ronda gives a tour of her "hellish" home in 2011.
In the video released via USA Today, the mixed martial artist provides a tour of the kitchen of her Venice Beach home. "People eat here apparently," she says, while showing a lot of things covering her counters. "I don't know how we haven't come up with a new strain of cholera or something."
She then closes an open door to show a note she made to "describe the personality of our kitchen." The words on the door read, "I don't know what our garbage disposal must think of us."
As she moves to the laundry room, the former Bantamweight Champion explains that her lack of interest with her surrounding was due to the fact that she and her roommates were told that the house was going to be torn down soon after they moved out.
"They are tearing this house down right after we move out. So as soon we found out we were like, 'Well, who gives a s**t. They're tearing down the house.' So we kind of let it all go to hell," she says. "But it was already kind of hellish when I moved in. I didn't make it like this."
Ronda also reveals that filmmakers Gary Stretch and Peter Antico called her before the interview because they assumed that they were at the wrong address when they saw her house. "We were like, 'Where are we?' " Stretch tells USA Today. "It didn't look like the kind of place where someone was actually living. It was like a jungle outside and looked like it was about to fall down."
