As one of the cover models on this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, Ronda Rousey has been making the media rounds. She got a little emotional with Ellen, but then had a more upbeat appearance with Jimmy Fallon.

Fallon asked Rousey about attending the Marine Corps Ball with Lance Corporal Jarrod Haschert. After Rousey's loss to Holly Holm in November, there was speculation that she wouldn't be able to go to the ball in December. But Rousey followed through with the date in South Carolina.

After the ball, Haschert and Rousey, a huge wings buff, hit the local Hooters. The waitress didn't recognize Rousey immediately, which opened the door to a prank:

Here was the video that Haschert posted in August to invite Rousey as his date:
