Not being the type to forget and move on, her silence on the topic had been surprising. But today the undefeated champ spoke out.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In an acrimonious Instagram post Rousey wrote, &#8220;Success is the best revenge&#8221; \u2018one of many lessons I learned from fighting that helped me fight through life&#8217;s battles off the mat and outside the octagon. @walmart is welcome to watch the success of this publication from the sidelines if they choose\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Beside this caption was a picture with the statement: \u2018Walk in to any Walmart in the United States and you can easily purchase any combination of high caliber rifle with accompanying ammunition. However, if you\u2019re looking to purchase a book by a former olympic medalist and undefeated world champion, you\u2019ll have to look somewhere else\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Rousey\u2019s publisher commented, \u2018I\u2019m shocked, shocked at the censorship going on in America\u2019. This viewpoint has been shared by all in the MMA community, who\u2019s reaction has been one of bafflement.<\/p>\n<p>Of all mixed martial artists, Ronda Rousey has made the biggest break in to mainstream media. Within the last year she has become a star of the screen, landing roles in The Expendables 3 and Furious 7 as well as television series Entourage. On top of this, last month she made a cameo appearance at Wrestlemania 31.<\/p>\n<p>This absolute acceptance of her superstar status from the entertainment industry makes her rejection from Walmart frustrating &#8211; it\u2019s discouraging to see a gigantic American corporation disregard MMA\u2019s biggest star. The story is a reminder that the sport is not universally, or even nationally, accepted as a legitimate.<\/p>\n<p>This is an unfortunate circumstance. However, it\u2019s down to the luminaries of the sport, like Ronda Rousey, to continue educating those who don\u2019t understand. Then eventually everyone should come to respect both the sport and its competitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=39299\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/imagez\/rsrad.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Barnaby Kellaway Walmart, the largest seller of guns and ammunition in the United States, recently broke the news that they would not sell Ronda Rousey\u2019s book in their stores on the grounds that she\u2019s too violent.
