Ronda Rousey had been waiting forever for the chance to trash Floyd Mayweather

"I don’t let those kind of things slide, but I’m also a patient girl."

This week, Ronda Rousey won the ESPYs before they started by ethering Floyd Mayweather:

Rousey added, "Like to see you pretend to now know who I am now," referencing the time in July 2014 that Mayweather claimed he had never heard of her.

So since then Rousey had just been waiting on that line. MMA Junkie has quotes:

"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."

All Ronda Rousey everything forever.
