“TUF 11” coach Tito Ortiz: I’ve raised the bar for all fighters, and they should be thankful

While former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz is no stranger
to making headlines with his often controversial brand of
trash-talking, it was something far different that had MMA fans buzzing
earlier this week.

A quick snapshot taken of Ortiz during a media day for “The Ultimate
Fighter 11” showed the “Huntington Beach Bad Boy” sporting a modified
coach’s jersey that displayed the name of his own clothing line, Punishment
Athletics.

As MMAjunkie.com first reported, Ortiz negotiated
the clause into his “TUF 11” contract, a move the 35-year-old said was just the
latest in a long line of decisions designed to help his fellow athletes.
