Former UFC champion Tito Ortiz’s house was burglarized and had a safe stolen, according to Huntington Beach police.

On Friday, Ortiz was away from his house when the unidentified perpetrators gained access by breaking a window on the residence’s balcony. Police say the house was “ransacked” when they responded to the scene.

A few of Ortiz’s neighbors are having their surveillance cameras reviewed in hopes of catching the alleged robbers.

“Welcome to Biden’s America,” Ortiz said in a statement to TMZ. “Beware, it’s going to get worse.”

Ortiz returned to combat sports last September against Anderson Silva in a boxing match, losing via first-round knockout. He hasn’t fought since but called out Logan Paul in a social media post following the defeat.

Ortiz is regarded by many as one of the greatest light heavyweights in UFC history. He won the light heavyweight title at UFC 25 against Wanderlei Silva before picking up wins over the likes of Ken Shamrock, Forrest Griffin, Patrick Cote, and Vitor Belfort.

Ortiz has teased a return to MMA by the end of the year, but nothing is reportedly in the works or has materialized to date.

The investigation into the alleged robbery of Ortiz’s home is ongoing.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz has revealed his favorite fighter to watch compete today.

Ortiz was recently interviewed by Helen Yee and asked about his favorite fighter to watch compete in mixed martial arts (MMA) right now. “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” named top-ranked lightweight Michael Chandler as his pick.

“One of my favorite ones to watch right now? I’d have to say Michael Chandler,” Ortiz said. “The turnaround he’s done in his career has just been amazing.

“It shows that hard work really does pay off. The knockout he did against Tony, I was just like, ‘Wow, Ferguson’s never been knocked out like that.’

“But he got caught with a good straight up-kick, and it kinda scared me. Everyone’s cheering and screaming, I stood up and was like, ‘Oh my God, is he okay?’ He was out for a minute… That’s scary.”

Chandler is certainly a great pick. “Iron” is currently riding high off one of the greatest knockout victories in the history of the UFC. He knocked out Tony Ferguson in the second round of their UFC 274 pay-per-view (PPV) match up.

A front kick to the face nailed Ferguson perfectly, rendering him unconscious for the first time in his career. Chandler, a relative UFC newcomer and already former lightweight title challenger, ended a two-fight losing skid with the win.

As for Ortiz himself, he’s gearing up for a promised MMA return before the end of the year. Ortiz teased he’s already in talks with an unnamed promotion about his comeback fight, but no opponent has been named as of this writing.

What do you think about Tito Ortiz picking Michael Chandler as his favorite fighter to watch in MMA today? Let us know here below!
