Why did ortiz leave tuf

Leading up to his hospital visit, Ortiz was filmed in Las Vegas explaining his recent falling out as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, his neck issues, and how he can no longer fight hurt. I'm not going to fight injured. I never want to look for excuses. I always want to win every one of my fights.

He also expressed concern before the surgery, stating that he was afraid, and hoped his recuperation would not prevent him from making a swift return to the octagon. Smith is a great doctor who does great surgeries. My lower back was hard, but I got through it.

Rumors have speculated from a Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell fight, to this being related to the miscarriage of his babies by Jenna Jameson , to Tito Ortiz injuring his back. One thing is for sure. Chuck Liddell is shown being held back, while Tito Ortiz is shown going on a rampage.

Unfortunately I think that is a bit of a bait and switch. According to my current Comcast television listing, the preview for the show mentions Tito Ortiz getting a call from home. Now the skeptic in me has a little bit of a problem with the timing of all of this. I understand that even though TUF 11 is a reality television show they have creative justice to edit the show however they like, but they only have so much liberty. In all fairness, Spike TV and the UFC taped this awhile back so maybe they strategically aired shows to catch sweeps by doubling up on fight episodes, etc.

Or, did Tito Ortiz go into this injured with everyone having full knowledge and the plan was to pull the switch in the midst in sweeps? There is no way that the crew could have known in advance about this and I will rely on the theory that they strategically produced the TUF 11 season in order to capture this moment during sweeps.

On the other hand, if Tito Ortiz is kicked out because of a fight or he leaves for something a little more controversial, then I start asking questions. This season of The Ultimate Fighter has really been hit and miss on and off of the air.

Additionally, the inexperience of the fighters shows with every fight as most of the fights this season have been extremely sloppy and not that exciting. Off of the air, the show had a big increase in ratings once news broke about Tito Ortiz leaving The Ultimate Fighter.
