For those who don't know after the weigh-ins on episode No. 9 of "The Ultimate Fighter 11: Team Liddell vs. Team Ortiz" , the focus turned to Tito, who told his team that a doctor has recommended surgery because a disc is pushing against his spine. The condition makes sleep impossible and causes his legs to tingle.

"If I keep chancing myself or fighting injured, I'm going to hurt myself worse" Tito says. "I"m not going to make the same mistake I've made before. I'm not going to let Chuck beat me because I wasn't 100 percent. No way." - Tito

I can understand wanting the surgery as to not take a chance to injure yourself more and wanting to be 100% durring the fight but it is really bad timing as it looks like a cop out. Tito is not going to win aganist Chuck not matter what he does really though IMO.
