Chael Sonnen isn't going to let a stray insult slide.
Former UFC star Jorge Masvidal made an appearance on The MMA Hour this past Monday and he weighed in on the recent tiff between host Ariel Helwani and Sonnen, siding with Helwani and calling Sonnen "a b****" among other insults. Sonnen was quick to respond to the sound bite on social media.
In a series of tweets, Sonnen took shots at Masvidal's most recent UFC losses and his assault case involving rival Colby Covington (which was resolved on Monday), as well as alleging that Masvidal came to him in the past looking for career advice.
"Jorge if you wanna scrap you hafta beat one of my students first Colby Cov... Ummmm scratch that," Sonnen wrote. "Let's stick to things that are possible."

You hafta beat one of my students first
Colby Cov...
Ummmm
Scratch that
Let's stick to things that are possible
Covington defeated Masvidal via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 272 in March 2022. A few weeks later, Masvidal was arrested after he allegedly assaulted Covington outside of a Miami restaurant.
Sonnen continued to make references to Masvidal's arrest, which can be seen below.
-Are you allowed to kick with the leg that's wearing the house-arrest ankle monitor?

MASVIDAL- I do "want some" just trying to be clear on a few regulatory matters… Is your corner going to give you a prison juice-box instead of water?

How many of your texts to me asking for help because you're dull and unfunny should I release?

Is a dozen enough?
Did you go to a Miami Car Shop to have them pull the dent Kamaru Usman put in your face out?

On a related note-shouldn't they just have replaced your entire face?

Don't be two-faced

Masvidal later replied to Sonnen's Twitter tirade, calling Sonnen a "juice head" in reference to Sonnen's admitted performance-enhancing drug usage.
You juice head, I bet you won't say this stuff in person. @ChaelSonnen just keep the same energy when you see me.

"You juice head, I bet you won't say this stuff in person," Masvidal wrote. "[Sonnen] just keep the same energy when you see me."
