10 Best Insults In The History Of MMA

10. Chael Sonnen - Ex Wife

When Chael Sonnen and Tito Ortiz faced off in 2017 you could hardly argue that the pair were in the prime of their careers.

Sonnen was making his return to the cage after a lengthy doping suspension had kept him out of action for over two years, while Ortiz was coming off a loss to submission specialist Liam McGeary with the Bellator Light Heavyweight title on the line.

Though the fight may not have had ramifications on the top 10 at 205lbs, the rivalry between Sonnen and Ortiz was as heated as it gets.

It turns out that Sonnen had defeated Ortiz on the latter's birthday nearly two decades prior in a collegiate wrestling match, and Ortiz was gunning for revenge.

While the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion would ultimately prevail when the two fought at Bellator 170, Sonnen undoubtedly decimated Ortiz in the pre-fight war of words.

During one of the press conferences to hype the event, Tito remarked that Chael's success in MMA was mainly down to his trash-talking rather than actually fighting prowess, prompting Sonnen to reply:

“Tito always says I'm using my mouth to get my opportunities. The only person that I know that made money using their mouth was his ex-wife.”

This was a reference to Tito's ex-girlfriend and mother to his twin boys, Jenna Jameson, who had previously worked as a pornographic actress.
