Tito Ortiz and Alberto Del Rio are set to throw hands, feet and everything in between (or at least, the elbows and the knees) Saturday at a Combate Americas “Winner Take All” MMA pay-per-view event on FITE TV.
The offense on display there will be the real deal, not the “working” pro-wrestling punches that Del Rio (who now professionally goes by Alberto El Patrón, his real name is José Alberto Rodríguez) so famously threw in his days as WWE Champion. Don’t count him out, however — Patrón has a pretty impressive professional mixed martial arts record of 9-5.
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Ortiz is 20-12 in the sport that he helped bring to the mainstream masses, but the Huntington Beach Bad Boy also has some professional wrestling experience.
