Ronda Rousey Training Vin Diesel's Daugher In Judo; UFC Champion To Defend Title Next Month
Vin Diesel has enlisted Ronda Rousey to teach his 7 year old daughter, Haina Riley Sinclair the art of Judo. Diesel and Rousey co-starred in "Furious 7" together and became close friends. Vin asked Ronda to mentor his little girl.
"First of all, I feel sorry for anyone that has to (date my daughter)," the "Furious 7" star tells WENN. "I wouldn't want that on my worst enemy because I'm just that kind of dad." cited by NY Post.
Every great fighter has a protégé, now Rousey has hers - Vin diesel's daughter. The undefeated champion has been training Haina. Judo is the same martial arts discipline that earned Ronda a bronze medal in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Rousey started training judo at a very early age, thanks to her mother, a world champion martial artist in her own right. Ronda is the best fighter in the world, pound for pound. Her record is 12-0. That being said, there's no doubt Diesel's getting his money's worth.
Ronda is loved because she is the ultimate underdog. She's got heart, toughness, and started with a great story, according to Fox. Surviving a traumatic birth that led to brain damage, she suffered from severe speech impediment. The only time she was able to construct a coherent sentence is when she reached the age of six. "Even if they don't know it, everyone has the instinct to survive," she says.
Vin Diesel's daughter is still too young to date but the screen stud does not want to take any chances.
"I've been thinking about this since the day I cut the umbilical cord," said Diesel, as reported on ESPN. "And because of that, I made a decision early on that I was going to do everything in my power to empower her to handle it herself. Because of her 'Auntie' Ronda Rousey, she is now an orange belt with stripes in judo."
He adds, "I'm creating a beast, and I want her to be able to say no means no."
Rousey will take a break from training young Hana when she travels to Australia. She will defend her UFC women's bantamweight championship against Holly Holm at UFC 193 on November 15.
