Chael Sonnen is preparing for his first fight in many years when he makes his Bellator MMA debut against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Tito Ortiz at Bellator 170.
Sonnen would bring up Ortiz’s relationship with former porn star Jenna Jameson during a pre-fight press conference.
“Tito always says I’m using my mouth to get my opportunities,” Sonnen said. “The only person that I know that made money using their mouth is his ex-wife.”
Jameson herself even took to Twitter to comment on the comments by the UFC veteran.
First dumb thing I've heard Chael say... it's like stating the sky is blue and expecting that to be a revelation https://t.co/ZecRIAlNaH

To everyone thinking @ChaelSonnen 's remark at the press conference for his fight with Tito bothered me, it didn't... he stated the obvious

Outside of taking a shot at Ortiz’s ex-girlfriend, Sonnen also took aim at Ortiz’s financial situation.
“This show is free on Spike TV,” Sonnen said. “That means everyone can afford it — except for Tito. Because he’s broke. Get it?”
Bellator 170 takes place on Saturday, January 21 from The Forum in Inglewood, California with Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen headlining.
