MMA Junkie<\/a>, Ortiz revealed that he is betting his UFC belt in hopes of claiming a WWE belt too.<\/p>\n\u201cI want to put my belt up just because I\u2019m a huge WWE fan, and I\u2019ve always wanted a heavyweight world title. I\u2019ve always wanted that heavyweight world title. I mean, I remember back in the day watching Hulk Hogan carrying the world title, being the world champion, to Dwayne Johnson, ‘The Rock,’ being the world champion. I was like, \u2018Man, if I ever had the opportunity to go to the WWE, I know I can be world champion, too.’\u201d<\/p>\n
El Patron is in agreement with Ortiz and thought that betting their belts was a great idea, although he does question his opponent’s intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, that\u2019s a fantastic idea. I know he\u2019s not too bright, but in this one, it was his idea,” Patron said. “He came up with the idea, and it\u2019s a fantastic one. I wish it would have been me that said, \u2018Hey let\u2019s put the titles on the line.’\u201d<\/p>\n
While Ortiz is convinced he’s going to claim both belts, he is less than convinced with El Patron’s fighting ability. Ortiz said he is willing to donate a handsome sum to charity if his opponent can make it past the first round.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlberto Del Rio picked me to compete against. He picked the wrong person to compete against,\u201d Ortiz said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he can get past the first round, I told him I\u2019ll donate $50,000 to his charity. This guy don\u2019t understand who he\u2019s fighting. I\u2019m an animal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen that cage is locked, you guys are gonna be turning on the Discovery Channel on pay-per-view, because I\u2019m gonna be a vicious lion that hasn\u2019t eaten in a long time. And this lion\u2019s gonna roar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Who do you think will win this high-stakes showdown between Tito Ortiz and Alberto Del Rio?<\/p>\n
