Chael Sonnen vs. Tito Ortiz II
Between Tito Ortiz trash-talking Chael Sonnen while the latter was in the cage fighting Wanderlei Silva and Ortiz’s bewildered look during Sonnen’s post-fight victory speech, the rematch between the two sells itself. It’s also relatively clear at this point that Sonnen was brought to Bellator for money fights, and the rivalry rematch between he and Ortiz could sell. Sonnen would look to get revenge for a bad submission loss he suffered at the hands of Ortiz, and Ortiz would get a chance to pummel his rival again. Sonnen reassured fans that he could still fight when he cruised to a dominant decision against Silva after his concerning fight with Ortiz, and Sonnen’s claims that he made Ortiz tap verbally at Bellator 170 would also add fuel to this fire.
