UFC Hall Of Famer and current Bellator Light Heavyweight contender Tito Ortiz has reportedly told friends that he will be fighting fellow UFC Hall Of Famer and Bellator Light Heavyweight contender Stephan Bonnar in his next match.

The rumored date for Ortiz vs. Bonnar is November 15th, which means the fight will be going head-to-head against UFC 180 in Mexico City, the show that features Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

Regarding the rumored Ortiz-Bonnar match, UFC President Dana White noted during a recent media scrum that he personally signed off on Bonnar’s UFC release so that he could go to Bellator, with White noting that Bonnar’s entire reason for wanting to come out of retirement was to sign with Bellator so he can “kick Tito’s ass.”

The Ortiz-Bonnar fight is rumored to air live and free on Spike TV on November 15th.
