Video: Tito Ortiz and Alberto Del Rio cut cringeworthy promo for Combate Americas fight

Former UFC champion Tito Ortiz isn’t planning to call it quits just yet. The 44-year-old fighter is scheduled to face former WWE champion Alberto Del Rio inside the Combate Americas cage at a still undetermined date and venue.

Just like in professional wrestling, it’s also been a norm among MMA fighters to cut a promo and create some buzz around their fight. Both Ortiz and Del Rio did the same during a recent Combat Americas event, which wasn’t really met with the same energy as a WWE event.

To make things more uneasy to watch, Combate Americas founder and one of the UFC’s creators Campbell McLaren joined in to drop some lines of his own.
