Chael Sonnen is one of the best talkers in sports. Whenever he gets a microphone in his hand and an opponent in his crosshairs, you’d better believe that Sonnen isn’t going to let him off light.
On Thursday, Sonnen took aim at Tito Ortiz during a Bellator press conference in advance of their fight at The Forum in Inglewood on Saturday.
It wasn’t even close to being a fair fight.
I mean, he has a point.
Ortiz is shaking angrily and staring at Sonnen.

Ortiz: It fuels me. You hear that snoring noise? You’re going to hear that in the second round.
Sonnen: Hey, that was good! Good line.

Chael starts snoring into the mic while Tito shares an elaborate metaphor about lions in the jungle. Tito: "You've dug your grave, man."

Sonnen: We’re gonna be on Spike TV half naked fighting for a drunken audience. We don’t need any more motivation.

Sonnen, first round knockout.
Oh, as for the fight? Eh, probably Sonnen by decision.
