Fight Network is reporting that Alberto El Patron will step down as President of Combate Americas.

Regarding Patron, CEO Campbell McLaren said in an interview to MMA Uno, "He’s probably stepping back his official roles from Combate and he’s going to focus on more on wrestling for the next year or two.”

McLaren also added, "It’s a very challenging enterprise and I think it’s very, very hard on the body and difficult to do. Very physical, very athletic, so I he’s kind of asked me if he can step away and with Saraya, focus on wrestling."

There is no word whether the current issues stemming from the 7/9 Orlando Airport incident had any bearing in the decision.
