As Ronda Rousey's star continues to rise, we are also learning more about her past. We're just catching up with this video clip that has been making the rounds online for the past several months, and it's a classic. In 2011, when Rousey was just getting started in MMA, she appeared on a Japanese TV game show to take on three male amateurs in judo.

Before facing them, Rousey, the 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in judo, says, "I feel it would be more fair if I fought all three at once, but I still think they'd have no chance."

Frankly, we think these guys were lucky when you consider the fate of this smart-aleck reporter, who questioned Rousey's judo skills:
