Forty-seven-year-old UFC legend Tito Ortiz will rematch bitter rival Chael Sonnen, 45, six years after their first meeting.
Their rivalry dates back to 1997 when Sonnen defeated 'The Huntington Beach Bad Boy' in 44 seconds when the pair met long before their UFC fame. A fight between the pair was touted for years, but they didn't meet until they were both in their 40s as Ortiz submitted Sonnen in just over two minutes when they fought at Bellator 170 in January 2017.
Ortiz has fought twice more since the win, knocking out fellow UFC legend Chuck Liddell and submitting former WWE star Alberto Del Rio, whilst Sonnen retired after his 2019 defeat to Lyoto Machida. Ortiz announced the news whilst appearing on The Adam Carolla Show, stating: "I'll be competing one last time in the beginning of February, Tito Ortiz vs Chael Sonnen number two will be happening at Freedom Fight Night. In MMA, not boxing, at 205lb."
