Early Sunday morning, Ronda Rousey did it again, defeating Bethe Correia in 34 seconds to retain her Bantamweight championship belt at UFC 190. With the victory, Rousey improved her record to 12-0 and solidified her status as one of the most dominant female athletes in any sport. Her latest accomplishment, though, nearly drove color commentator Joe Rogan to shedding a few tears. 

That was the first time I ever almost cried while interviewing a fighter. @RondaRousey is something insanely special.

Even with Rogan bearing his soul in the Octagon, the fans weren't going to let him live it down. 

I woke up to a parade of tweets calling me a bitch for almost crying during the @RondaRousey interview last night. #GuiltyAsCharged
