Are you f-ing kidding me? Justin McCully better be under that mask. If it is Tiki or Rob McCullough Tito might have an stroke.

Bonnar grabbing fence. Tito grabbing shorts. Cheat until you get caught.

Tito takes round one 10-9. Cuts Bonnar on the scalp and under right eye. Let’s see who’s cardio is better.

Tito Ortiz’s head movement reminds me of the David statue.

See what happens when Tito doesn’t fight with a cracked skull? #Bellator131

Perhaps the weirdest thing about this whole fight is that the crowd in the arena is into it. There’s are Tito’s SoCal people.

Just want to remind everyone that they put Stephan Bonnar in the UFC Hall of Fame.

I’ll give Tito and Bonnar this: at least they came to fight. It might not be high level but they still threw down. Coulda just cashed checks

Tito Ortiz and Stephan Bonnar look so bad that the bout looks like a fight between Tito Ortiz and Stephan Bonnar.

What’s left in the tank here? Bonnar gaspin for air…big cut under his eye.

I’m not going to crap on Tito. He might not have much left in the tank, but he gave what he had tonight. Bonnar, on the other hand …
— Dave Doyle (@davedoylemma) November 16, 2014
Let’s hope Bonnar takes his paycheck and invests it in something that keeps us from having to watch him fight again.

Should be Tito’s win. Not that it really matters, neither of these guys are relevant in any LHW discussions. Still move the needle though.

LOL @ split. C’mon Derek.
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) November 16, 2014
A judge scored this fight for Stephan Bonnar. I can’t believe I just typed that.
— Dave Doyle (@davedoylemma) November 16, 2014
Split? I thought @titoortiz won that easily 30-27 #Bellator131
— James Lynch (@LynchOnSports) November 16, 2014
Oh god, Tito is doing the gravedigger routine after the interviews? Im pretty sure Bonnar isn’t dead.
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) November 16, 2014
Tito looked a little too winded for a full gravedigger tonight.
