Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos Chael Sonnen ’s pitch for sending off Tito Ortiz at Bellator 170 is to prove he’s the man by beating the former man. Beating Ortiz (18-12-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), a UFC Hall of Famer scheduled to retire after the fight, isn’t just a stop on the “Legends Ass-Kicking Tour” he announced upon defecting from the UFC to Bellator. It’s a changing of the guard as the face of a promotion. And it’s a way to reverse-engineer his status as an all-time great – not that he was ever in doubt. Beat a former titan, and you’ll join him in the history books.
