UFC President Dana White once said women would never be hired by his promotion. Now, a woman is his highest-paid fighter.
Appearing on Ellen on Monday, Ronda Rousey told the popular talk-show host that no fighter—male or female—makes more when stepping into a UFC ring.
"Now I'm the highest paid fighter in the UFC," Rousey said, per the Hollywood Reporter. "It's pretty cool. It's fun to say."
There has been little doubt for a couple of years that Rousey, 28, is the sport's most dominant and popular athlete.
