UFC champ Ronda Rousey wins 'Best Fighter' ESPY, slams Floyd Mayweather Jr.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is the ESPY winner for “Best Fighter,” and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn’t.

And that’s oh-so sweet to Rousey.

The 28-year-old long-reigning UFC champion and Olympic medalist, who also took home the award in 2014, received the trophy during today’s awards festivities, though her category isn’t part of the official broadcast. She beat out fellow UFC fighter Donald Cerrone, as well as boxers Mayweather, Terence Crawford and Gennady Golovkin.

During a red-carper walk, Rousey, who’s had a contentious past with Mayweather, got in a dig (via Vine)

“I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once,” she said. “I’d like to see you pretend to not know who I am now.”

Up next for Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) is a UFC 190 pay-per-view headliner against Bethe Correia (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC). The event takes place Aug. 1 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
