Tito Ortiz and Alberto Del Rio got fans talking after a recent media appearance to promote their fight under the Combate Americas banner.
Earlier this week, Ortiz and Del Rio had a staredown which led to Ortiz shoving the former WWE star before being separated. The two stars exchanged some words. MMA Mania was able to capture the moment, which you can see here:
Del Rio spoke with the media outlet after the minor incident, which is when he noted how he thought Ortiz might do something like that at the appearance.
“I thought Tito might try something like that because I’ve noticed that he can dish out trash talk, but can’t take it when someone gives it back to him,” Del Rio said.
Del Rio added that his training partner told him after the event that he noticed how Ortiz was clenching his fist while they were on stage, which tells him that Ortiz was getting upset and might lose his cool.
The fight will take on December 7th at the Payne Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, and air on pay-per-view for $39.99.
