Ronda Rousey: Vin Diesel Hired UFC Champ To Train His 7-Year-Old Daughter

Vin Diesel's 7-year-old daughter is getting lessons in how to be a "beast" thanks to her "auntie" Ronda Rousey. The "Fast and Furious" franchise star hired the UFC champ to train his daughter, Hania Riley Sinclair, in Judo so that she can properly defend herself, Bleacher Report reported.

"First of all, I feel sorry for anyone that has to (date my daughter)," the over-protective dad told WENN, as reported by Bleacher Report. "I wouldn't want that on my worst enemy because I'm just that kind of dad. I've been thinking about this since the day I cut the umbilical cord, 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."

Diesel and "Rowdy" Rousey both starred in the most recent film of the "Fast and Furious" franchise, "Furious 7," TMZ reported. The pair hit it off so well that the 48-year-old actor trusted Rousey, 28, to teach little Hania how to defend herself with judo, a modern form of martial arts.

"Because of her 'auntie' Ronda Rousey, she is now an orange belt with stripes in judo," Diesel said. "I'm dealing with it early. I'm creating a beast, and I want her to be able to say 'No means no.'"

Rousey started her training in Judo at an early age as well, according to Heavy, following in her mother AnnMaria De Mars' footsteps. De Mars was the first American to win gold at the World Judo Championships.
