Watch Ronda Rousey Explain Why She Cries Before Fights So You Can Feel Better About Crying After Sex

Ronda Rousey is a big softie.

Sure, she beats the shit out of people for a living, but that doesn’t mean that the pressure of going out there and giving her opponents brain damage is lost on her. Believe it or not, Ronda Rousey feels feelings.

In a recent sit down with Ellen Degeneres on the Ellen Show, the UFC champion admitted she’s a crier, especially leading up to fights.

“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. It’s all these things and it’s just sometimes you cant hold it in. It’s gotta leak out of somewhere why not your eyes?”

Or your anus. When I get nervous, I tend to shit my pants a bit. Not full on shit, but just enough to ruin my day.

So if you feel the need to cry before going into a big meeting at your job, let it go, bro. Nothing beats a good cry.

Pussy.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
