8 Possible MMA Promotions Alberto Del Rio Could Succeed In
6. DEEP
As Dos Caras Jr., Del Rio (real name José Alberto Rodríguez) fought his first five MMA fights in DEEP, a Japanese MMA promotion still going strong today. With that history, and the fact that he is currently still active wrestling in Japan, he could easily go back to his roots and take a fight (or several) in DEEP. The only thing limiting Del Rio appearing there would be the quality of opponents (not a lot of options at his weight), and the fact that, being a Japanese promotion, he would have limited exposure in the West, meaning potentially less money. Potentially. The Japanese company could always open the pocketbooks for a former roster member who shot to stardom after his time there.
