Tito Ortiz took care of business in his first fight for Combate Americas.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion dominated professional wrestling star Alberto �El Patron?Rodriguez (9-6) in Saturday�s 210-pound main event at Payne Arena in McAllen, Texas, using his trademark grappling to hound El Patron en route to a first-round submission win.
This �MMA vs. pro-wrestling?bout served as the headliner for the Combate Americas promotion�s first-ever pay-per-view.
El Patron pawed with jabs at the opening bell, but Ortiz immediately secured a body lock and then moved to side control in the ensuing scramble. He threatened with a guillotine choke that El Patron slipped out of only to find himself backing up as Ortiz refused to give him any space.
A sprawl by Ortiz left El Patron clinging onto a leg with Ortiz punching his mid-section. Ortiz then powered through and muscled El Patron up against the cage, smothering El Patron. In complete control, Ortiz moved to El Patron�s back and eventually secured a fight-ending rear-naked choke in just over three minutes.
During the post-fight interviews, Ortiz (21-12-1) demanded that El Patron give him the WWE championship title that was part of the pre-fight wager (for Ortiz�s part, he put a UFC belt on the line) so that he could give it to his children who he invited into the cage.
El Patron, a native of Mexico who was competing in MMA for the first time since February 2010, used his interview time to deliver a passionate speech in Spanish addressing President Donald Trump�s comments and policies regarding Mexican immigrants.
