Combat sports star Ronda Rousey became known not only for her skill in action. Always vocal, the American, who shone in judo and the UFC, never shied away from a good argument and, now, back in the fights, she clashed with Khamzat Chimaev . So much so that the bad girl, who stars in Netflix's first MMA event, this Saturday (16), in California (USA), left Gina Carano, her opponent, aside and turned against the Chechen.

At the press conference to promote the show, held last Thursday (14), Ronda slammed Chimaev for an inappropriate comment. Before facing Sean Strickland , 'Borz' didn't like seeing the American criticizing the UFC for the way it treats its fighters. Chimaev was categorical in stating that the athlete wouldn't exist without the organization and implied that she was ungrateful.

Not letting anything go unpunished, the UFC Hall of Famer, visibly irritated, decided to humiliate the former middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg). In her attack, Ronda made a point of attacking the Chechen on a personal level and downplayed his competence as a fighter.

“I want to make something absolutely clear: I owe Dana and the Fertittas immensely. I would rather die than speak ill of either of them. But my loyalty is to them, not to the company they sold. I owe absolutely nothing to the UFC of TKO. That damn cleft-lipped guy hates me because, at his fight press conference, people asked about me and my fight,” said the star.

“Because nobody gives a damn about that useless wrestling festival. People won’t stop talking about this fight because it’s a packed event and they’re really excited to see me fight because, unlike Kumquat, I have a 100% win rate by stoppage,” he concluded.

Ronda's fighters in MMA

Ronda Rousey , 39, made her mark in judo and MMA. The American began her mixed martial arts career in 2011, debuted in the UFC in 2013, and retired in 2016. She was so successful that she dominated the bantamweight division (up to 61,2 kg) and was inducted into the company's Hall of Fame.

In the sport, Ronda built a record consisting of 12 wins, all by stoppage (nine by submission and three by knockout), and two losses. Her main victories were over Alexis Davis , Cat Zingano , Liz Carmouche, and Miesha Tate (twice).
