Tito Ortiz got the better of Chael Sonnen in a quick but back and forth ground battle in the main event of Bellator 170. On Twitter, pro fighters were surprised and impressed.
Will Tito be able to win his last fight? Chael looks confident. Looking forward to this main event. #Bellator170

That ringworm on Chael's left shoulder might be the most lethal thing Tito has ever fought fighting. #Bellator170

Maybe if Fedor loses to Mitrione he can fight Chael then Chael can retire too.........

Chael beats 3x jiu jitsu champion to become the last WEC champion but gets tapped by Tito in 30sec. What do you think ?
— Nam Phan (@NamPhanMMA) January 22, 2017
Wow so was it fixed ? What does everyone think ?
