"This lady right here, look at her a** and legs. She is acting like my 79-year-old mother but she is not my 79-year-old mother... She’s trying to steal everything and this is not my mother. And I’m putting this out because she’s saying she’s going to get an attorney and try to do something.”

In a recent YouTube video, Chael Sonnen weighed in on BJ Penn's claims about his mother being replaced by an imposter. While expressing concern, Sonnen also speculated that it could be a marketing angle from the former lightweight champion, stating:

"If that's not the goddamnest story that I've ever heard, it's definitely the damnedest story I've ever told. Why do I take the time to make this piece? Well, because there's some real concern for BJ Penn's mental health. There's some real concern for how he got to this conclusion and I'm just here to offer you one thing—I don't know and I have not spoken to BJ.”

He continued:

“I just know that I have seen BJ perform before and he's a very good performer. I've known BJ a very long time. It would break my heart if this were true. This whole thing would break my heart. I'm just not convinced that we're not pawns in the middle of some type of marketing angle."
