Chael Sonnen announces November 19 fight against Tito Ortiz: 'All I need is a contract'

After Chael Sonnen’s Bellator signing late last week, he immediately sought for a marquee fight. The main man on his hit list is former UFC light heavyweight champion and fellow veteran fighter Tito Ortiz.

"The American Gangster" says his history with Ortiz dates back decades ago when they were wrestling in college. While there are no grudges between the two men, Sonnen feels there is a score that needs to be settled.

"Every time we're in the same room together, it's like this big alpha male contest," Sonnen said during the recent Bellator conference call.
