Rousey, in accepting the award, said she wondered how Mayweather felt about getting “beat by a woman for once.”
Mayweather, of course, has drawn headlines outside the ring for years over multiple domestic-violence incidents and arrests.
“I’d like to see you pretend not to know who I am now,” Rousey said, referring to a controversial interview in which Mayweather, when asked if he could beat her in a fight, said he wasn’t familiar with Rousey.
