UFC Bantamweight fighter Ronda Rousey took advantage of the ESPY Award's main stage to speak out about against fellow nominee, boxer Floyd Mayweather in the annual show's, "Best Fighter" category, according to MMA Junkie.
"I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once," Rousey said during the TV clip that contained her response to comments the boxer previously said, according to MMA Fighting. "I'd like to see him pretend to not know who I am now."
"I know for damn sure he knew who I was," Rousey told MMA Junkie. "He was running against me for 'Best Fighter' that year and he had signed MMA fighters, so his feigned ignorance was meant to really be a snarky remark to me. ... I don't let those kind of things slide, but I'm also a patient girl. I'm not the kind of chick you make snarky remarks about. I waited a whole year to say something," the champion continued. "And you know what? If I didn't win 'Best Fighter' this year, I would have waited two years or three years. And the timing of it all? It got a big reaction, and I've got a fight to sell. So great timing, huh? I'm not dumb."
Rousey has kept up her dominance in the combat sport, gaining another win in the cage, this time against Bethe Correia in a 34-second knockout in the UFC 190, according to Yahoo.
