Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen are still at it. This time Ortiz has added another round of social media artillery into the fray.
January’s Bellator 170 main event featured the final bout for Tito Ortiz, as he faced off against Chael Sonnen. While Ortiz claimed to have retired after submitting Sonnen via rear-naked choke in the first round, it would appear that the fight never really ended.

Following the bout, some speculated that the fight was fixed. UFC analyst Dan Hardy has even been threatened for legal action by Bellator president Scott Coker over making fight fixing accusations towards the bout.
Sonnen has put his two cents worth forward, claiming that “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” verbally tapped, without referee “Big” John McCarthy’s knowing.
Well, the former champion is ready to fire back. Tito Ortiz posted to social media, “Chael Sonnen is a liar, cheater, and a fraud! Proof is in his history.”
While Ortiz has retired from the sport, he is not entirely done spending time with the fighters. Rather he is trash talking Sonnen or helping featherweight Cristiane “Cyorg” Justino with her ground and pound, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” seems to be staying busy.
