There’s never been any love lost between Chael Sonnen and Tito Ortiz. Even since they fought two years ago, the two have continued to go back and forth. Now it seems that Sonnen has raised the stakes, by calling out Ortiz. And as you’d expect from ‘The American Gangster’, he hasn’t minced his words.

Hey stupid, @titoortiz straight up. Do you want to fight or not?

Ortiz recently came out of retirement, to fight his old rival Chuck Liddell. A fight he won in very convincing fashion, knocking out the ‘Ice Man’ in the very first round.

Sonnen has fought three times since their first encounter, beating Wanderlei Silva and ‘Rampage’ Jackson. Before losing to Fedor Emelianenko in the semi-finals of the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix.

Ortiz won their previous fight at Bellator 170, winning via a rear naked choke in the first round.
