Tito Ortiz win over Alberto El Patron reinstated by Texas commission after clearance of ‘potentially disqualifying substance’

Put Tito Ortiz’s most recent win back up on the board.

Two days after it was reported that a bout between Ortiz and Alberto El Patron had been overturned to a “no decision” by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the commission has now changed course and reinstated Ortiz’s win.

Ortiz defeated El Patron by first-round rear-naked choke submission at Combate 51 in Hidalgo, Texas, on Dec. 7, 2019.

According to the revised ruling, Ortiz submitted a urine sample for testing that contained a “potentially disqualifying substance,” which prompted the initial overturning of the bout result.
