"So nasty that even I felt offended" - When Chael Sonnen crossed all limits by cracking X-rated joke on Tito Ortiz's former p*rn star ex-wife
Chael Sonnen's heel persona has created many rivalries for 'The American Gangster', but arguably none are more notorious than his beef with Tito Ortiz.
Sonnen is regarded as one of the best trash-talkers of all time, but during one particular pre-fight media day, 'The American Gangster' crossed the line.
Sonnen was scheduled to face Ortiz at Bellator 170 in 2017, and during the build-up for their fight, 'The American Gangster' hit his rival with a verbal low blow by taking aim at Ortiz's former relationship with adult film star Jenna Jameson.
Ortiz began by saying:
"[Sonnen] talks well. His mouth has gotten him every big fight that he's had. Every time when it's time to present, and to perform, he's failed. And on Saturday night it's not gonna change..."
Chael Sonnen replied with this:
"Tito always says [that] I'm using my mouth to get my opportunities. [But] the only person I know that made money using their mouth is his ex-wife."

Fans reacted to the brutal roast in a number of ways. Some fans sarcastically praised Ortiz's comeback line, while others pointed out the harshness of Sonnen's comment.

"That burn was so nasty that even I felt offended"
@kingjohn commented the following:
"I don't know why, but Tito trying to come back with "bad girl" makes the whole exchange exponentially funnier"

Despite Sonnen and Ortiz sharing a rivalry for over a decade, the pair only fought on one occasion, at Bellator 170. Ortiz emerged victorious against 'The American Gangster' after submitting him in the first round
Chael Sonnen ponders how long Michael Chandler will remain patient in wait for Conor McGregor
Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor were announced as the respective coaches for season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter. The show's finale will happen on August 15, after which the two coaches are expected to battle inside the octagon.
However, the lack of an official announcement from the UFC has fans concerned about when the fight will take place.
'The Notorious' was removed from the USADA testing pool in 2021 after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. According to the drug agency, McGregor will need to re-enter the pool for at least six months before being eligible to fight. As of now, McGregor is yet to re-enter the testing pool.
Sonnen recently pondered how long Michael Chandler will remain patient in hopes of fighting the biggest name in the sport. 'The American Gangster' broke down Chandler's dilemma during a recent YouTube video and said this:
"How long is Chandler gonna play along? At what point does it not matter? Chandler gets a call four months ago, 'You're gonna fight McGregor.' Great! Then every step along the way Chandler hears people like me say that it doesn't look like he's gonna fight McGregor..."
