It’s not exactly breaking news that Chael Sonnen has the biggest mouth in the UFC and won’t hesitate to talk trash to anyone. But it was a little surprising when he made Arianny Celeste the topic of one recent salvo.
Sonnen said in an interview with Las Vegas Weekly that Celeste, one of the UFC’s Octagon Girls, should be called “the IQ card girl” because, as Sonnen sees it, Celeste is holding up her IQ when she walks around the cage holding up the round number during fights.
“Arianny kind of walks around and holds up her latest test score,” Sonnen said. “One time when there was a title fight, she got all the way up to five and we were very proud of her.”
The UFC Octagon Girls aren’t accustomed to getting into spats with UFC fighters, but Celeste found herself in the midst of such a spat when she heard about Sonnen’s comments. And so Celeste shot back at Sonnen on Twitter.
“Hey what’s ur name.. after @spideranderson kicks your ass..u won’t even be able to count to 5!!” Celeste wrote. “Get ready to kiss brazils ass! Talking crap about me In interviews is like when a boy picks on a girl he likes in 1st grade…GROW UP! Doesn’t work anymore sir! “
That was a surprising exchange, but during an appearance on The MMA Hour, Celeste said the way she hit back at him on Twitter prompted Sonnen to say he was sorry.
“I actually got an apology afterwards,” she said. “The beef has been squashed, until he talks again.”
And Celeste does expect Sonnen to talk again.
“I’m sure he’ll say something again, I don’t doubt it, but I’m the kind of girl who will always fight back,” Celeste said. “I’m not a little prissy girl. If someone says something about me I’m going to say something back. I don’t care who you are.”
