Chael Sonnen was lured into a Twitter war by Jason Mayhem Miller on Monday, but the No. 1 middleweight contender cut the argument short in one spiky reply.

Sonnen, who challenges for Anderson Silva's UFC middleweight crown this summer, is never shy of a word or two to say... about most topics. And that proved the case after Alistair Overeem's recently failed drug test, when the American posted a tongue-in-cheek response about the situation on Friday.

Overeem's test showed an abnormally high testosterone to epitestosterone ratio, but Sonnen has his own history with the use of testosterone.

The Team Quest man has the condition hypogonadism, which requires Testosterone Replacement Therapy and was the explanation given for why he revealed high levels ahead of his first bout with champion Silva.

Fellow middleweight Miller, who has had several 'interesting' hair styles over the years, decided to remind Sonnen of this point, tweeting: "Chael berating someone on their test level is like me making fun of someone's bad haircut."

Sonnen's reply was cutting and aimed at Miller's fragile stance in the UFC, goading: "Due to time constraints I am currently confining my Twitter wars to active, relevant, fighters ONLY. Buy a T-shirt on your way out."
