Bellator NYC went down last night, with an intense grudge match main event. In the night’s big event, Chael Sonnen faced off against Wanderlei Silva to settle their differences inside the cage. In the end, Chael Sonnen earned a unanimous decision victory over his opponent. However, Silva was not the only rival to get Sonnen’s attention on Saturday night.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz was cage side for Bellator’s first time inside the Madison Square Garden Arena. However, the former champion was heard heckling Chael Sonnen from cage side during the event. Ortiz even received some heckling of his own from the night’s fans.
After the event, Chael Sonnen gave his opinion of the situation in an interview with MMA Junkie. “Tito is a drunk, and he’s a drug addict,” Sonnen told MMA Junkie.
The fighter then continued, “Tito is broke. He borrows those suits. I have no idea why they even invite him out here. That’s as low class as it gets. I’m not a guy who is a prude about this stuff. I’m not a prude about someone attacking another guy or building up a fight at all. Of all the things I’ve ever said or done to somebody else, I will sign that contract and step into that cage and answer for it every single time without exception. Tito Ortiz will never get in there. Tito Ortiz sucks.
“He was high tonight. He was drinking tonight. He got booed tonight. I could give a damn less about Tito Ortiz, but it’s very low brow. He’s going to behave like that when I’m on one side of the fence and he’s on the other? It’s like Tito, man, you’re messing with the wrong guy. I will come through here and whip your ass.”
