Watch out, boys. You don't want to mess with Vin Diesel's daughter.

Aside from the fact that Hania Riley Sinclair's dad is Vin-freaking-Diesel, the 7-year-old is already taking whatever precautions are needed to make sure she can defend herself in any given situation. And who better to help her with that than "auntie" Ronda Rousey.

During an interview with celebrity media outlet WENN, the Fast & Furious star revealed that his daughter has been training with the current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion in judo, whom he'd met on the set of Furious 7, and it seems to be paying off.

"First of all, I feel sorry for anyone that has to [date my daughter]," Diesel began (via Fox Sports). "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."

In comes Rousey. "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,'" the famous dad said.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Diesel shared a sweet message sent to him from his and Paloma Jimenez's eldest child.

All love...

"My 7-year-old daughter has an iPhone now," the 48-year-old actor said, holding his own device, of Hania. "And she just texted me this, if I can read this to you. 'Hi Daddy, I love you so much. I am so proud of you. I miss you so much. I believe in you, that you will make an awesome movie. I love you so much, I miss you so much. Love, Similche."

Vin Diesel, who was born Mark Sinclair, had said on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in 2009 that their daughter is named after an Iberian princess.

But you won't be seeing this princess waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and save her, that's for sure.

Meanwhile, Diesel has recently come to his own defense against body-shamers. Watch above!
