Tito Ortiz Being Sued By Zuffa

Tito Ortiz is being sued by Zuffa for use of their intellectual property.

This charge is being brought in relation to the book that Tito has released detailing his life story. On the cover of this book he is weaing his UFC Light Heavyweight belt. Zuffa claims that the belt is their intellectual property and any use of this in promotional material is subject to their discretion, as is stated in fighter contracts. Tito didn't ask permission to use this image for his book, so Zuffa has started proceedings for a cease and dissist order against him.

Any further information on this story will be updated here as it happens.
