Tito Ortiz and Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett might not agree on much, but they share mutual disdain for Chael Sonnen. In a recent episode of Pimblett’s Chattin’ Pony podcast, Ortiz joined the Scouser in the studio. Tito Ortiz might have submitted Chael Sonnen back in 2017, but he’s still no fan of “The American Gangster”.
Pimblett opened the discussion, pointing out how often Chael Sonnen talks about him. “To be honest, Chael’s always talking about me.
Tito Ortiz & Paddy The Baddy Unite to Critique Chael Sonnen: “He just talks, talks, talks”
He’s even done videos where I’ve said he’s talking about me, about me mentioning he’s talking about me. It’s just like, what are you doing, lad? Stop making videos about me. I don’t know you. He just does what he does doesn’t he, just talks, talks, talks.”
Ortiz quickly jumped in. “He’s always talk, talk, talk. He’s all bullsh*t, he has nothing to back it. But you know what? if they’re talking about you, it’s good.”
Talking is exactly what Chael Sonnen has been up to. Sonnen’s YouTube channel features over ten videos mentioning “The Baddy” in the title. Sonnen’s trash talk made him famous over the course of his MMA career. In the lead-up to their fight in 2017, Sonnen relentlessly mocked Tito Ortiz. Ortiz clearly has not let go of his grudge against Sonnen, just as he refused to let go of the rear naked choke back at Bellator 170.
“I’ll probably compete one more time. We’re trying to get this p*ssy Chael Sonnen to fight, but all he has is a f*cking mouth.
I don’t like [him]. Either I’m gonna punch him in person and go to jail for it, or I’m gonna get paid for it. So, either one, it’s gonna happen. I just need the guy to stop making excuses.
His manager Tiki has to make his contract decisions. Be a f*cking man of your word and step up. You said you tapped me? Let’s see if you can do it again. I made him look like a little b*tch… I just dislike the guy.
That guy kinda [crossed] the line with me. I gave him the opportunity to apologize, and he didn’t… I don’t hate many, but that is one person I do hate.”
Although Tito Ortiz managed to submit Chael Sonnen inside a single round, Sonnen later claimed that Ortiz “verbally tapped”. Do you agree with Tito Ortiz and Paddy Pimblett? Let us know in the comments.
