Chael Sonnen knew what he was getting into when he signed on to fight Tito Ortiz at Bellator 170 at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
Sonnen has twice run afoul of the rules against performance-enhancing drugs in mixed martial arts, including once in California, and was required to submit to out-of-competition testing as a condition of regaining his license in the Golden State.
When asked about being subjected to the tests -- he’s done so twice in the leadup to the fight -- Sonnen was matter of fact about his history and the rules as they’re now laid out.
