Consider the cross-promotional hype for Tito Ortiz’s pay-per-view meeting with Quinton Jackson in the Bellator cage officially underway. During Thursday’s TNA Impact Wrestling “Hardcore Justice” event, Ortiz and “Rampage” rush out to the ring, presumably as allies, during a match. The alliance ends there, however, as Ortiz “hits” his fellow light heavyweight with a hammer.
Ortiz and Jackson will square off in the headliner of Bellator MMA’s first pay-per-view offering on Nov. 2 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif.
