Alberto El Patron isn’t fighting Tito Ortiz for the money — however, there are plenty of other reasons why.
El Patron will be returning to mixed martial arts action for the first time since 2010 when he meets Ortiz in a Combate Americas pay-per-view event on December 7 in McAllen, Texas.
Most would assume the 42-year-old president of Combate Americas is returning to combat sports for a lucrative payday. However, the former WWE champion claims he’s doing it for the right reasons:
“I keep saying this — I’m doing it for the right reasons,” Rodriguez told MMA Fighting. “No. 1, because the company Combate Americas, we’re killing it. We’re killing the competition. We have amazing numbers, the ratings are fantastic. We are changing the face of the Latinos in MMA.
“I have a lot of Mexicans and Latinos looking up to me and me being a role model after all these years. I want to continue inspiring people in Latin America or Mexico or anywhere around the world.”
The most important factor, however, is because Combate Americas supported El Patron during a nasty divorce. And so, this is his way of paying the promotion back:
“I think this is really important — the main reason was my divorce was really difficult for me, for my life,” he added. “The battle for the custody of my kids took a lot from me and it was a very difficult time in my life. The company, my bosses, they have been supporting me since day No. 1.
“When you go through things like that in your life, you start thinking about who are real friends, the real people that stood up for you in those difficult moments. Because I always say it’s easy to be friends with Alberto Del Rio in the spotlight, money, girls, fun, but to be Alberto Rodriguez’s friend, the real person, going through difficult times like other people out there, this company has been with me.”
So again, he isn’t doing this for money. Which is why the plan for now is to only return to MMA as a one-time thing. But one can never say for sure in this crazy sport:
“I’m not doing this like some others out there because of money problems or because they don’t find anything to do with their lives,” Rodriguez explained. “I’m lucky to have a company like Combate Americas where this is a job, this is a place where I feel at home. I don’t just work for them. I’m enjoying what I’m doing for them and I’ll continue being on TV and I’ll continue doing pro wrestling in Mexico. That’s what I want to do right now.
“It would be really hard for me to say I’ll do it one more time but that’s why they have the old saying, ‘never say never.’ Right now I’m saying yes [this is it] but that’s what I said before my very first MMA fight. Never say never.”

Tito Ortiz is now a member of Combate Americas and his first fight is set to be against Alberto Del Rio.
Del Rio is currently serving as an executive for Combate Americas but will step away from that to step inside the cage for an event to fight Ortiz. The two have really played up their rivalry as of late, but the two were in the cage and decided to call out each other out again. Even though the fight is set.
However, the way they did it got some people saying it was scripted and arguably the worst promo in MMA history. Well, take a look for yourself.
Tito Ortiz last fought back in November of last year at the first Golden Boy MMA event. There, in the main event, he knocked out Chuck Liddell. Before that,” The Huntington Beach Badboy” was fighting in Bellator where his last fight was at Bellator 170 where submitted Chael Sonnen.
The 44-year-old is currently 20-12 as a pro and on a two-fight winning streak. He is a UFC Hall of Famer and former UFC light heavyweight champion. He also has notable wins over the likes of Stephan Bonnar, Ryan Bader, Ken Shamrock (three times), Vitor Belfort, Forrest Griffin, and Wanderlei Silva among others.
Alberto Del Rio, meanwhile, is 9-5 as a pro and fought PRIDE and DEEP early on his career. However, he has not competed in an MMA event since 2010 where he was knocked out by Mamoru Yamamoto. He did fight Mirko Cro Cop in PRIDE and was knocked out in just 46 seconds.
When and where this fight will take place is still unknown.
Is this promo between Tito Ortiz and Alberto Del Rio the worst promo in MMA history?

Tito Ortiz returned to the cage back in November when he fought for Golden Boy MMA. There, he took on Chuck Liddell in the trilogy bout, which he won.
Now, the 44-year-old is continuing to fight as he has signed with Combate Americas and will take on Alberto Del Rio later this year. As for why he wanted to return to fighting well it was an easy decision.
“I’m feeling great and I’m able to do it physically and mentally and I think that has huge value to it, but I love the sport, I love training, I love seeing how my body forms from the beginning to the end of camp,” Ortiz said to MMA Fighting.
“After my last fight with Chuck Liddell, I went from being in okay shape to being in a type of shape that I was in when I was 23 years old. People see the weigh-ins and every time my body structure is almost the same and it’s just because of how hard I push myself. But you have to be in the right mind space, you have to be in a positive environment because it helps us fighters compete. But really, I’m just happy, I’m content, I like to get in the gym and train, I like to push myself.
“After the Chuck fight, I came to this fork on the road of which way I go right now. Do I go in the business stuff and make decent money or do I go the other way and do something that I love, and still do the business stuff, but do the thing that I love and get in shape and compete. I had to call Randy Couture and ask him the same question, ‘When you were 43 years old, what made you want to comeback?,’ and he said, ‘Well, Tito. I really felt like I wasn’t done, I felt like I could give so much more,’ and that’s all he had to tell me and I was in.
“My mentality, my mindset, my body, my life, the people surrounding me, the positive reinforcement I get, all that motivates me and inspires me because I don’t want to look back when I’m 50 years old and wish I would’ve continued fighting when I was 44, so I can end it on my own note, the way I want it.”
How Tito Ortiz looks in this fight is to be seen. But, he is confident he still has the skills necessary and will get another win.
Do you think Tito Ortiz should still be fighting?
