Bellator 170 headliner Tito Ortiz on poker, fishing and why he walks out to Eminem

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Tito Ortiz inside the cage, but “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” is set to return this month.

Oritz (18-12-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) headlines Bellator 170 against fellow former UFC standout Chael Sonnen (29-14-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) on Jan. 21 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The main-card airs on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Sonnen will be making his Bellator debut after recently signing with the promotion following a two-year suspension, during which time he was retired from fighting. Ortiz will enter the Bellator cage for the fourth time, but first time since a light heavyweight title loss to then-champion Liam McGeary in September 2015.

Ortiz is a former UFC champion and a UFC Hall of Famer and has had one of the most storied careers in MMA history. He has said his fight with Sonnen, a three-time UFC title challenger in two divisions, will be his last. If that’s the case, Bellator took some time to go five rounds with him to find out a little bit more about his life outside the cage.

In the video above, Ortiz talks about keeping his kids eating healthy, his love of poker and fishing – and just why “Mosh” by Eminem has been his longtime walkout song of choice.
