"I feel sorry for anyone that has to [date my daughter]," Diesel told WENN. "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 met UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey while working on Furious 7 -- and soon enough, he enlisted "Auntie" Ronda to teach his daughter Hania Riley the art of judo.

"She is now an orange belt with stripes in judo," the actor said. "I'm dealing with it early. I'm creating a beast and I want her to be able to say 'No means no.'"
Any unsavory suitors of the seven-year-old may have already been deterred by the fact that her father is Vin Diesel. But a little self-defense education never hurt -- plus, it's great early training for action movies.
