Tito Ortiz, who returns to fighting this weekend on Bellator’s pay-per-view debut, was one of the original stars of mixed martial arts and over the weekend a listing popped up on Craigslist selling some very rare Ortiz memorabilia.
According to the listing, the memorabilia was found in a storage locker and it includes “ pictures, prints, fighting gloves, Punishment banners that appear to be used during his fights, letters to him and Jenna Jameson, fighting contracts, schedules, VHS tapes of his fights” and much more.
You can view the listing and photos here.
Ortiz has found out about the sale and is not too pleased. In fact, he claims that everything being sold is stolen property.
This stuff was stolen from my home. I hope this guys does right or jail. Someone is selling a bunch of your things. http://t.co/FeMMRoBTll”

With all of the personal information and belongings that are being sold, we hope that Ortiz can contact the right people and reclaim what is his if it was in fact stolen.
