Tito Ortiz Gets Fired From The Apprentice
It took nine weeks of semi-entertaining reality television drama, but Tito Ortiz has finally been eliminated from “The Celebrity Apprentice“. Though Ortiz was praised for his performance throughout the program, his time had come as Donald Trump directed his famous “You’re Fired” line toward the former UFC champion. MMAJunkie.com, who had been following Tito’s performance thus far, provides a summary of how and why Tito got the axe:
“Once [in the board room], Omarosa, in her trademark fashion, tries to pin the blame on Ortiz [for their team's loss]. Ortiz immediately defends himself and says he was only the team leader because Omarosa weaseled out of it. But, when Trump asks which team member leasts deserves to be fired, Ortiz says he’s going to be honest and picks Omarosa. So, Ortiz gets the ax instead.
Unlike most firings, though, Trump says he was thoroughly impressed with Ortiz’s performance on the show and that he isn’t happy to see him go. In fact, as a token of his appreciation, Trump awards Ortiz an additional $50,000 for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Although Ortiz is knocked out of the competition, he leaves knowing that he outlasted more than half of the 14-person cast and that he raised a total of $70,000 for his charity.”

Tito actually had problems with the public speaking aspect of the job. I assumed that a guy that fights in front of millions would be able to speak in a nervous setting. Tito did well, but was outplayed in this show.
fired from apprentice then fired from ufc soon lol.
TITO ORTIZ SUCKS!!! YEAH HES GOOD WITH AVERAGE FIGHTERS BUT WHEN FIGHTING TOP LEVEL FIGHTERS HE GETS HIS BUT WHOOPED HE DIDNT EVEN WANT TO HAVE A BOXING MATCH WITH DANA WHITE WHICH HE REQUESTED FOR CAUSE IF HE GOT KNOCKED OUT BY DANA WHICH I TRULEY BELIEVE WOULD OF HAPPENED IF THE MATCH TOOK PLACE ORTIZ CARRER WOULD OF BEEN OVER SO AT THE LAST MINUTE ORTIZ PUSSED OUT THATS WHAT YOU CALL A PUNK SO IN THE WORDS OF DONALD TRUMP TITO ORTIZ YOUR FIRED
St. Jude’s is a great cause and Tito rocks for scoring them so much. But honestly he sucked calling the Affliction day of reckoning show and he was a mediocre fighter (you will get rocked if you fight real competition – but I will pay to see it so more power to ya).
