The fighter everyone loves to hate, UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen, seems to have begun a new feud, and this time it is not with a Black House/Brazilian fighter.
This time, Sonnen’s unlikely adversary comes in the form of a ring girl: huge fan favorite Arianny Celeste.
The issue started last week, when Fighters Only asked Sonnen who he thought should win the title of Ring Girl of the Year at the World MMA Awards, which the always outspoken Sonnen is hosting.
“We only had one and that was Chandella [Powell]. The other was the IQ card girl. Arianny [Celeste] 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,” taking another shot at the UFC’s arguably most popular ring girl.
Arianny originally responded on Twitter, though she deleted her tweet shortly afterward (credit Bloody Elbow for finding the tweet).
“Hey what’s ur name.. after @spideranderson kicks your ass..u won’t even be able to count to 5!! Get ready to kiss brazils ass!”
Sonnen, never one to take an insult lying down, fired back.
“Seems easy to wear a bikini and seems easy to walk in a circle, but try walking in a circle while wearing a bikini. Talented girl!”
The MMA World Awards, presented by Fighters Only magazine, takes place Nov. 30 at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Fans now have to be wondering what will transpire if Celeste does win the award and Sonnen has to present it to her.
