On the most recent episode of TUF, the show finishes off with Tito Ortiz dropping into the fighter house to state his farewell to his team. A team that Tito has coached, mentored, and taken under his wing for the duration so far of this season of The Ultimate Fighter. During this segment of the episode, Tito states that he has never been fired at anything in his life.
Now let us rewind to an approximate 2 years prior, Tito Ortiz was sitting in a boardroom, to his left: Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, Stephen Baldwin, and Trace Adkins; and directly in front of Tito, Mr. Donald Trump. After 9 weeks, of hard work on the Celebrity Apprentice and earning $70,000 for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Donald Trump states the following words: “Tito, YOU’RE FIRED!”
