Chael Sonnen brings up Tito Ortiz’s ex in ‘nasty’ round of trash talk before Bellator 170

LOS ANGELES — Chael Sonnen just dialed up the trash talk to 11, as he has been known to do.

After Tito Ortiz said at the Bellator 170 pre-fight press conference Thursday that Sonnen has earned his big fights with his mouth, Sonnen weaponized Ortiz’s past relationship with famous porn star Jenna Jameson.

“Tito always says I’m using my mouth to get my opportunities,” Sonnen said at the event in Hollywood. “The only person that I know that made money using their mouth is his ex-wife.”

Ortiz was visibly angered by the line. For minutes after it was made, Ortiz stared at Sonnen from across the dais while shaking.
