In 2015, Rousey's autobiography My Fight/Your Fight was published.

The book featured a story in which the former bantamweight champ had a physical altercation with an ex-boyfriend who she dubbed 'Snappers McCreepy.'

According to the book, Rousey was upset over nude photos that 'McCreepy' had taken, which led to a physical confrontation. She apparently struck him multiple times and dragged him onto the sidewalk home.

Some news outlets, like USA Today, accused Rousey of domestic violence.

Domestic violence is a terrible thing regardless of the extenuating circumstances, and certainly not something an athlete or human being wants to be associated with in any capacity. The incident with 'Snappers McCreepy' was not one of Rousey's finest moments.
