Ortiz Vs. Sonnen Will Give You What You Want

Saturday night, at the end of the first full day of the Trump administration, a former UFC champion will compete against a perennial UFC title challenger, but it’ll go down in Bellator, which is probably more appropriate for where we’re all psychically at right now.

In last night’s 5-2 Rangers win, Maple Leafs defenseman Roman Polak laid a questionable hit on Mats Zuccarello, New York’s diminutive leading scorer.
