Stephen Bonnar Claims Tito Ortiz Is 'Just Fishing For Something' Prior To Bellator 131 Matchup
There's no denying Ortiz is on the back-end of his career, but the mixed martial arts legend can still pack a punch -- both with his fists and his mouth. After all, he's been hyping the fight with plenty of trash talk. Don't expect Bonnar to suffer from it psychologically though. He's the same size as Ortiz and has won three of his last four fights. Bonnar will also be plenty motivated -- he entered semi-retirement following a failed drug test and will be looking to show the world he's back in a big way.
As for the Brooks-Chandler showdown, it's a rematch of one of the most controversial fights in Bellator history. Brooks won that one in a 48-47 split decision, taking the interim world title in the process. No doubt Chandler will be looking to avenge that moment tonight. Can he? Tuning into Spike TV Saturday night is the only way to find out.
