Sinclair is the 7-year-old daughter of one Vin Diesel. You may remember him from such films as โThe Fast and the Furious,โ โThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,โ โFast Furious,โ โFast Five,โ โFurious 6โ and โฆ well, you get the point.
Anyhow, Sinclair is now receiving Judo lessons from undefeated mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey, whom Diesel met on the set of โ what else โ โFurious 7.โ Hereโs how Diesel explains the genesis of this gloriousness to celebrity website WENN:

โFirst of all I feel sorry for anyone that has to (date her). I wouldnโt want that on my worst enemy because Iโm just that kind of dad.
โIโve 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.
โBecause of her โauntieโ Ronda Rousey she is now an orange belt with stripes in Judo. Iโm dealing with it early. Iโm creating a beast and I want her to be able to say no means no.โ
Beyond Dieselโs cliche overprotective dad speak โ and whoโs more intimidating for someday suitors than Vincent Diesel, star of shoulda-been Oscar nominee โThe Pacifierโ โ itโs pretty awesome that heโs empowering his daughter at a young age. And who better to empower Sinclair than Rousey, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in womenโs Judo.
The world has long wondered what would happen if Vin Diesel and Ronda Rousey trained one superhuman, and the UFC may one day provide the answer. Start saving now, because pay-per-view isnโt going to be any cheaper in 2030.
