Future champion on our hands?

If you think you’re an over-protective dad, then check out Vin Diesel.

The Hollywood star wanted to toughen up his seven-year-old daughter Hania Riley Diesel.

So obviously he called in the best in the business – undefeated UFC champion Ronda Rousey.

Diesel, who starred in Furious 7 with Rousey, has got the former Olympian teaching his little girl Judo in a bid to turn her into a ‘beast’.

It seems to be working. Under the expert tutelage of the ‘baddest woman on the planet’, Diesel junior has already earned her orange belt in the sport.

The 48-year-old actor told WENN “First of all, I feel sorry for anyone that has to (date my daughter). 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.

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

We might very well have a future champ on our hands at this rate.
