Boxer Floyd Mayweather’s ultimate insult to UFC star Ronda Rousey

FLOYD Mayweather’s comment about UFC star Ronda Rousey is proof the boxing superstar lives in his own little world.

FLOYD Mayweather really does live in his own world.

Ronda Rousey has taken the Ultimate Fighting Championship by storm and earlier this year UFC president Dana White said that if she fought Mayweather in a street fight or mixed martial arts bout that, “Ronda wins that fight and hurts him badly”.

The claim clearly hadn’t got back to the boxing superstar, who was asked overnight what he thought of a potential fight with Rousey.

“I don’t even know who he is,” Mayweather said.

He? Rousey is one of the biggest names in the UFC and has completely changed the game for women.

In the video, which you can see above, it doesn’t look as though Mayweather is deliberately trying to stir the pot either.

It looks like he genuinely doesn’t know who she is.

When the USA Today interviewer explained Rousey was in fact a woman, Mayweather was surprised.

He smiled, raised his hands and added: “I don’t know who that is.”

Rousey, too, has claimed in the past that she would beat the undefeated Mayweather in an MMA bout.

“I would just bear crawl over there, just too low for him to hit me and tackle him down,” Rousey explained.

“I spend a lot of time there. I doubt that he does.”
