Ricco Rodriguez on Celebrity Rehab
Former UFC Champion Ricco Rodriquez has never recovered from his loss to Tim Sylvia ages ago and it looks he’s got some other issues he needs to recover from. Ricco will appear on this season’s VH1 Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew (on tonight). I don’t know if he leaves early or what, but in the video promo for the season they don’t show Ricco even once.
Ricco Rodriquez as a celebrity is a huge stretch. Who in the hell outside of the MMA community would know this guy? Here is Ricco’s Bio as presented on the VH1 website:
Ricco Rodriguez
Born: August 19, 1977
Rodriguez nick named Ricco “Suave” Rodriguez is an American mixed martial arts fighter with a professional MMA record of 26-7-0. He has fought in most of the major fight organizations–UFC, PRIDE, King of the Cage–and was renowned as the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Ricco has a daughter whom he raised as a single dad for two years.

Rodriguez never fought Frank Mir. You’re probably thinking of when he lost his heavyweight belt to Tim Sylvia. Way to fact check!
