Tito Ortiz stepped into the cage for the last time at “Bellator 170” earlier this year and walked out with a win after submitting Chael Sonnen in just the opening round.
Controversy clouded the excitement of Ortiz’s victory, however, as the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” held on to the choke for too long after Sonnen tapped out. Now, Sonnen has chosen to open up about the fight claiming that Ortiz verbally submitted. Sonnen stated, “Look, Tito [Ortiz] tapped in that fight. I knew Tito tapped when he tapped. I heard Tito verbally tap and I’ve never said a word about it.”
Ortiz has not taken kindly to these accusations, and fired back at Sonnen for trying to air what he believed to be the truth:
.@ChaelSonnen You're my BITCH!
