Review: 2014-11-15, pretty good fight between Tito Ortiz and Stephan Bonnar: it gets three stars. The former Ufc light-Hw champion Tito Ortiz entered this fight with a professional mma record of 17-11-1 (71% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.15 light heavyweight in the world, he is 39 years old (two years older than Bonnar) and he had retired from mma in 2012 after three consecutive losses in the Ufc (the last one against Forrest Griffin, Griffin vs Ortiz 3) but he came back to fight in 2014 under Bellator promotion beating Alexander Shlemenko (=Shlemenko vs Ortiz).
His opponent, the black belt in Bjj and tae-kwon-do Stephan Bonnar, has an official record of 15-8-0 (67% finishing rate) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since October 13, 2012 when he was defeated by Anderson Silva (=Silva vs Bonnar). Ortiz vs Bonnar is the main event of Bellator 131. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Official highlights
side show. bonnar must have known he lost. the one judge for bonnar makes me think something is fishy. this is ufc’s new B league as soon as they zuffa guys bought it and fired bjorn and got the pudgy former stikeforce guy – clearly they bought it so they could let it die like pride and strikeforce.eventually though there will be a really good brazilian mma competitor
zuffa didnt buy bellator
Are you drunk?
Don’t like Tito……..Wish Bonnar would have knocked him out……..
It was a better fight than hunt vs werdum, tito is tito, he’s done well for himself and good on him in my opinion. He can still put on a show for the fans so can’t knock him for that!
anyone have the link for the full event?
