Watch how Tito Ortiz and Alberto Del Rio promoted their upcoming Combate Americas fight.
Former UFC champion Tito Ortiz isn’t planning to call it quits just yet. The 44-year-old fighter is scheduled to face former WWE champion Alberto Del Rio inside the Combate Americas cage at a still undetermined date and venue.
Just like in professional wrestling, it’s also been a norm among MMA fighters to cut a promo and create some buzz around their fight. Both Ortiz and Del Rio did the same during a recent Combat Americas event, which wasn’t really met with the same energy as a WWE event.
To make things more uneasy to watch, Combate Americas founder and one of the UFC’s creators Campbell McLaren joined in to drop some lines of his own.
Watch the video below and see it for yourself.
