MMA sensation Ronda Rousey wasn’t pulling any punches last night, when she delivered a devastating verbal jab at Floyd Mayweather live on air.
Rousey picked up two ESPY Awards, for Best Female Athlete and Best Fighter.

The Best Fighter category put her in direct competition with male fighters, including undefeated World Champion Mayweather who has a long history of violence towards women.
Rousey has made her disdain for the boxer clear in previous interviews.
When asked earlier this year about possibly fighting Mayweather,she answered: “I don’t think that me and him would ever fight, unless we ended up dating”.
She was even more upfront at the awards ceremony last night.
“I can’t help but really say that I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once,” Rousey said to the interviewer.
She then looked straight at the camera and added: “I’d like to see you pretend not to know who I am now”.
Floyd, consider yourself owned.
