8 Possible MMA Promotions Alberto Del Rio Could Succeed In

7. World Series Of Fighting

The World Series of Fighting is a bit of a dark horse in the race for name fighters. They've established themselves in the top four MMA promotions globally, but have struggled with the perception that they're a feeder league for the UFC that was bolstered by them being very open to allowing talent to depart for the "big show" - at least in the early days. Dana White has also suggested at times that fighters "go get a few fights" in the WSOF prior to the UFC signing them. The result? They're seen as a B-level promotion, something furthered by their signing of cut UFC fighters like Yushin Okami, Jon Fitch, and Jake Shields. That having been said, they do possess some A-list talent in the likes of Jessica Aguilar (the number one ranked women's strawweight fighter in the world) and Marlon Moraes (their bantamweight champion). Would Alberto del Rio fit in with this rag-tag bunch of fighters? Perhaps. WSOF airs on NBC Sports, and the main NBC network several times a year, meaning he would potentially have millions of viewers. The WSOF have also stated they intend to pursue free agents more heavily in the coming months, so you never know. Since they heavyweight division is almost non-existent, del Rio could actually easily rule the roost here.
