Ronda Rousey explains diss of Mayweather
Ronda Rousey: “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.”
Ronda Rousey made waves his week when she dissed boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr when accepting her ESPY for Fighter of the Year. In a new quick interview with MMAJunkie, Rousey explained what prompted her to call out Mayweather specifically:
I know for damn sure he knew who I was, Rousey said. 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. 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, she said with a laugh. So great timing, huh? I’m not dumb.
