Alberto “El Patron” Rodriguez—better known as Alberto Del Rio to WWE fans—enters the Combate Americas cage on Saturday to fight UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz.
The fight headlines Combate Americas’ first entry into pay per view. While it is unlikely to be a classic, it has the potential to be a very entertaining fight.
On paper, this is an extraordinary mismatch. Rodriguez (9-5) does not have the pedigree or ability of Ortiz (20-12-1). Ortiz is a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, and his ground-and-pound game should be too much for the 42-year-old Rodriguez.
