Jorge Masvidal has been on the receiving end of over a dozen tweets by Chael Sonnen after ‘Gamebred’ called ‘The Bad Guy’ a b*tch on Ariel Helwani’s show. A few days ago, Sonnen threatened to strangle Helwani after the pair disagreed on a topic. Discussing the issue with Masvidal recently, Helwani asked Masvidal if he had won that argument. Masvidal said Helwani won the argument and called Sonnen a “b*tch” and a “dirty” fighter.
At one point, Sonnen was known as a great promoter of fights because of his trash-talking abilities. He weakened that persona after taking up an analytical role in the UFC. However, recently, he had to channel that energy again as he took to X and did not hold back. He made several posts and slammed Masvidal for his comments.
He referenced Masvidal’s KO loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 261 and wrote, “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?”

Sonnen claimed that Masvidal has fallen. He wrote, “Masvidal… Lackey for the man Dana White reduced to… HUMAN RUBBLE”
‘The Bad Guy’ also gave some advice to Masvidal in his fashion. He told him to not be “two-faced” as “It means the next time you fight, you’re gonna have FOUR black eyes instead of the usual TWO.
Expectedly, Sonnen also targeted Masvidal’s court case against Colby Covington. Several of his posts were related to that situation.

Masvidal and Covington were good friends who trained at the same gym. However, as they fought in the same Welterweight division, an enmity was set to brew. According to Covington, it was his rise to fame that irked Masvidal and made him hate him. The pair had a back-and-forth that was supposed to culminate at UFC 272 with their fight. Covington defeated Masvidal via a unanimous decision.
However, Covington did not celebrate for too long as Masvidal attacked him later that month outside a Miami steakhouse. Masvidal was involved in a court case related to the attack and he was found guilty. However, he received no jail time.
-Are you allowed to kick with the leg that’s wearing the house-arrest ankle monitor?

Referencing his court case, Sonnen made several other posts. In one of the posts, he wrote, “Are you allowed to kick with the leg that’s wearing the house-arrest ankle monitor?”
Masvidal has not yet responded to Sonnen’s extraordinary outburst on X. It will be interesting to see if the beef between Sonnen and Masvidal continues.
