Dame Helen Mirren Checks Out Her Very First MMA Fight with Tito Ortiz!

Helen Mirren happily wrapped her arms around Tito Ortiz while attending the Combate Americas event on Friday (August 23) at the Harveys Outdoor Arena in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

The Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning actress joined the MMA legend and Combate Americas fighter to watch Combate Americas’ MMA star-studded world championship doubleheader.

Helen, who had never attended an MMA event before, proudly posed with Tito Ortiz, and even said the event was “an extraordinary art and athletic expression” in a statement.

“It was a pleasure to meet and have a great conversation with @HelenMirren. Thank you. @combateamericas,” Tito captioned with his Instagram post.

Tito Ortiz has been training for his much-anticipated showdown against Alberto del Rio in November, which will be his first fight with Combate Americas. The next Combate Americas fight will be held on Friday, September 20 in Mexicali, B.C, Mexico.
