By MukWell two of MMA's all-time greats will finally matchup, as Tito Ortiz and Chael Shonnen will square off January 21st in California at Bellator 170. Ortiz last fought at Bellator 142, September 19th of 2015, when he lost to Liam McGeary for the Light Heavyweight Championship. Sonnen, is making his Bellator debut, a decision in which shocked the MMA world as he came out of retirement and chose to sign with Bellator.
Sonnen, "The American Gangster", was originally being targeted to take on rival Wanderlei Silva, whom he coached against in The Ultimate Fighter, but the fight worked out with Ortiz instead. Sonnen was suspended July 23rd, 2014 for 2 years for failing multiple drug tests over the years prior. Sonnen's history with PED's troubled him and his success in the UFC, but Sonnen has taken getting clean serious over the past few years and nothing should de-rail his comeback fight against "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy", Tito Ortiz. This fight should be a good one, as both these men come to brawl, but I see Sonnen coming out victorious via submission.
