Further explaining her pre-fight waterworks, she added, "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 can't hold it in," the athlete said. "It's gotta leak out of somewhere. Why not your eyes?"
