Bellator 170: "Ortiz vs. Sonnen" took place Jan. 21, 2017 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. After a grudge two decades in the making was finally settled, "The Bad Guy" Chael Sonnen tapped out to a rear-naked choke at 2:03 of the first round (watch highlights here). But, if mixed martial arts (MMA) fans know anything about the self-proclaimed "American Gangster," it's that the setback will not mark the end of his story like it did for Ortiz, who officially announced his retirement after Spike TV's main event match (see it here).
Indeed, moments after his loss Sonnen spoke with ESPN -- where he moonlights as an MMA analyst -- in the video above.
