I found this interview through google.
The following is a small excerpt from an interview with Dean Lister (jiu jitsu coach on Team Ortiz on TUF 3, debuting in UFC on 5/27 against Alessio Sakara) conducted by the ADCC News web team:
ADCC: You were picked to teach jiu-jitsu by Coach Tito Ortiz. Can you explain your relationship with Ortiz?
DEAN LISTER: Me and Tito have been friends for a while. He told me he wanted the best submission guy around with the best teaching style so he chose me. He also knows he can trust me and I am a training partner so we worked out a lot while filming the show. We are basically good friends. Also his knee, it is my fault. I kept it a secret and he still wanted to fight but I had a single leg on him and he was trying to escape the take down, twisting his knee, a freak accident but real. Anyhow, just in case anyone wanted to know.
