Ronda Rousey: UFC's Highest Paid Fighter Says She's 'The Biggest Crier' [VIDEO]

Ronda Rousey revealed she's the highest paid UFC fighter and the biggest crier, too.

On Monday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the deadliest fighter in the world talked about her personal experiences - from the Olympics to being the highest paid fighter in the UFC.

"Now I'm the highest paid fighter in the UFC," the 28-year-old confirmed. "It's pretty cool," she added. "It's fun to say."

Despite being the undefeated UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, Rousey revealed she could get really emotional.

"I'm the biggest crier," Rousey told Ellen. "Especially fight week when I'm about to fight, I'm the most emotional. Like my last fight I like totally cried the day before that," she said referring to her fight with Bethe Correia at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in August.

"You're so amped up and it's like every emotion that you could possibly have, it happens during that week. It's like the most stress, most anxiety, most pressure possible and then it's the happiest you could possibly be," she explained. "It's all these things and it's just sometimes you can't hold it in. It's gotta leak out of somewhere, why not your eyes?"

Being on the show for the first time, Rousey got so excited to tell Ellen this was on her bucket list.

"I've been wanting to meet you for like ever, you have no idea" she said. "When I was first coming up in MMA and fantasize about making it one day, I was like, I'm going to win the UFC championship, Serena Williams is going to be my best friend and I'm going to go on Ellen," she said. "That was like my list,"

"How come I'm not your best friend?" DeGeneres cracked.

Rousey went on the show to promote her book, My Fight/Your Fight which came out last May.
