Common Tito Ortiz vs. Alberto El Patron Questions:
Does Alberto El Patron have any MMA experience?
Before his professional wrestling career and WWE run, Alberto El Patron was an amateur wrestler. During his amateur career, he won the Central American and Caribbean Games in his weight division three times, and he also won a medal at the Pan American Games.
He would then go on to try MMA in Japan and had a 9-5 record. His most famous match is probably his match against Mirko Cro Cop, who was at his absolute apex, where Patron was knocked out in the first round.

Tito Ortiz vs. Alberto El Patron Betting Tips:
Tito Ortiz is such a huge favorite here that it’s hard to find any real value on betting him. It’s hard to really figure him out though as he has been fighting on the “legends circuit” for his past couple of fights. He beat Chuck Liddell in his last fight, but Liddell did not look like a man who should be fighting in that bout. A year before that, he faced Chael Sonnen who was also 40 years old at the time.
That said, Alberto has been even longer without a real fight. It’s been nearly ten years since his last professional fight and it’s not like he was at the level of Ortiz at that time. Even in his professional wrestling career, he has not been very active so that ring shape you are looking for isn’t there.
As it stands, I’d probably make a small bet on Alberto just because the odds are so ridiculous. These are two older guys, but Alberto is probably the most athletic guy that Ortiz has fought in two years. I like Ortiz as the favorite, but not at these odds.
As we get closer to the fight though I am looking to supplement that Albert bet with a first round finish prop bet on Ortiz as he’ll be looking for the submission early like he has in recent fights.
