Chimaev, who lost his middleweight title to Sean Strickland at UFC 328, called Rousey ungrateful for her comments towards the UFC, where she questioned the treatment of their athletes.
Rousey (12-2) makes her return against Gina Carano (7-1) in Saturday's MVP MMA 1 (Netflix) main event at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
"There never would be no Ronda Rousey without the UFC," Chimaev said on his YouTube channel. "I hate this. If they pay good or they don't pay good, who cares? When she was Olympic champ, what did she get?"
Rousey did not hold back when responding to Chimaev. She went off on his fighting style.
"I would want to make something abundantly clear and that's that I owe Dana (White) and the Fertittas immensely," Rousey said during Thursday's press conference. "I would be caught dead before you ever heard me say a bad thing about any of them. But my loyalty is to them and not the company that they sold. I do not owe TKO's UFC a damn thing.
"F*cking 'Cleft-Lip Lincoln' is just hating because at his press conference for his fight, people are asking about me and my fight because no one gives a sh*t about his ineffectual wrestle-f*ck fests. People actually can't stop talking about this fight because it's so stacked and they're actually excited to see me fight because unlike 'Kumquat,' I have a 100 percent finish rate."
