    They make movies with stories about people who have the courage to rise from the darkest depths to the greatest heights.

    Kayla is the real thing.

    She is not a victim. She is a legend.

    I live in Middletown Ohio and it's an amazing thing to be able to know that a legend came from your home town. Kayla, I can't explain to you how proud of you we are. The Middies love you !

    I agree with that. The only thing Ronda did was get cocky in front of the TV and with the media. Kayla is the total opposite and went from the lowest point to the highest peak of the mountain (Olympic champion). That's something Ronda hasn't done in her Judo Career.
