Morning Report: Tito Ortiz takes shot at Chael Sonnen, Sonnen responds

Tito Ortiz has made peace with many of his former foes, but there’s still one previous opponent who sticks in his craw: Chael Sonnen.

Ortiz will battle Alberto Del Rio at Combate Americas on December 7 and in advance of his fight, Ortiz has been making the media rounds. Yesterday, while speaking with Rich Eisen, Ortiz was asked about some of his previous opponents, and the former UFC light heavyweight champion was very complimentary of two of his biggest UFC rivals, Randy Couture and, surprisingly, Ken Shamrock.

“The toughest fighter I’ve ever faced would have to be Randy Couture,” Ortiz said.
