Summary

Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen had the MMA spotlight all to themselves last Saturday night at Bellator 170 and the two of them delivered a fight that can only be described as a complete stinker. Sonnen’s performance especially was so bad that some observers were left crying “fix!” though the Co-Main Event Podcast does not necessarily condone such heedless accusations. Ben and Chad discuss the outcome of the fight, Ortiz’s send off into retirement and what exactly honchos at Bellator can do with Sonnen now. In addition to that, they look ahead to Saturday’s UFC on Fox 23 and its women’s bantamweight title eliminator main event, pitting Valentina Shevchenko against Juliana Pena. All that, plus JSS, AYFKM and MasterTweet Theatre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:51.0	talk about some other stuff too, but we did have Bellator 170 this past weekend, culminating in the clash of the Titans between Chalasana and

1:04.1	some of the other stuff that's happening, looking ahead to next Saturdays UFC on Fox 23.
1:09.3	But first, Ben, I know everyone at home is wondering, how did the big
1:14.0	hockey showdown go between your rag tag band of misfits and the team that you described on
1:21.2	Twitter as the team from the local bar that takes this way too seriously or takes it very seriously?
1:26.9	Do you want to guess which local bar?
1:29.8	I saw some people wondering if maybe it was the silver slipper.
1:33.2	Bingo.
1:33.6	Is that the one?
1:34.2	The silver slipper.
1:35.0	Because that seems like a bar that would have a hockey team that would take their low-level
1:39.4	city league hockey seriously.
