There is said to be of interest from MMA companies in signing former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio (Alberto Rodriguez). Following up on the blockbuster news that CM Punk has signed a multi-fight deal to compete in UFC, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that CM Punk jumping to the world of Mixed Martial arts is just the beginning.

Last month, Bellator MMA proved once again that MMA is a star-driven business, with the Tito Ortiz vs. Stephan Bonnar fight on Spike TV being called a "game changer" for the entire industry. That show did record ratings on Spike up against the UFC pay-per-view from Mexico City.
