Tito Ortiz’s win over Del Rio restored after commission confirms ‘substance’ was doctor prescribed

Tito Ortiz’s win over Alberto Del Rio at Combate Americas: Tito vs. Alberto that was changed to a no contest has been restored.

On Tuesday, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) changed the result of the fight pending a further investigation. A statement the TDLR released to MMA Junkie revealed the investigation was to try work out if a “potentially disqualifying substance” that appeared in Ortiz’s urine sample was prescribed by a physician or not.

“A urine sample provided by Jacob ‘Tito’ Christopher Ortiz on Dec. 7, 2019, at the Combate Americas MMA event showed a potentially disqualifying substance that Ortiz claimed was prescribed by a physician,” the statement read.
