"The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz and "The American Psycho" Stephan Bonnar are slated to face each other inside the Bellator Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) cage.

Two Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veterans - two who are notably well into their 40s - will finally meet in the cage. Apart from the pure business aspect of the fight, Ortiz and Bonnar have an emerging heated rivalry.

The rivalry began when Ortiz expressed his thoughts on Bonnar's inclusion in to the 2013 UFC Hall of Fame.

UFC President Dana White said that Bonnar's iconic fight with Forrest Griffin at the climax of the first Ultimate Fighter season changed the UFC for the better. He said that was enough to get into the Hall of Fame.

Ortiz, on the other hand, did not share the same sentiments.

While he respects the induction of Griffin who beat a who's who of top echelon fighters - including Ortiz, twice - and secured the light heavyweight championship for a short but well-deserved run.

Bonnar though does not have the same accolades to boast, losing to Anderson Silva with a knee to the body in his last competitive MMA outing.

The fight announcement for Ortiz and Bonnar was a bizarre one.

After Bellator's recent card, President Scott Coker called the two vets into the cage.

Bonnar began talking with a masked man next to him. He eventually revealed that the masked man was Dustin Jacoby, Ortiz's former training partner who Bonnar said he "flushed down the toiled like a little turd."

Afterwards, he addressed Ortiz's adult film actress, asking how she could put up with him for all those years.

Ortiz then took the mic and spewed some words of vengeance, stating that, "You can talk all the smack you want. When you talk about my family, and you talk about my friends, this s**t gets personal."

Ortiz then charged Bonnar and had to be stopped before punches could be thrown.

Their fight is slated for November 15, at San Diego, California.
