Cops Say Jackson Went On Rampage

Former UFC light heavyweight champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson got busted just minutes ago, and is currently in custody on the way to the clink, but not before he was ordering on the ground, cops nearby with guns drawn.

Law enforcement sources tell us, Rampage was in a car crash near Newport Beach (that's near Laguna Beach in the O.C.) and then split the scene. Cops gave chase and eventually caught up and charged him with felony hit and run and felony evading arrest.

Here's the deal about the dumbest hit and run ever. Notice the truck he tried evading police in -- the one with the giant picture of him plastered on the side!

We're told there could be additional charges. No word yet on whether Rampage resisted arrest.

Bad week. He got his ass handed to him last week (courtesy of Forrest Griffin) and just got it handed to him again.


It's up on a few different websites .. crazy shit.

Who wrote that article? Shit is funny regardless. Might make the decision to match up Forrest with the next contender a little easier.

Jackson Arrested on a ‘Rampage'



Tuesday, July 15, 2008
by Loretta Hunt ([email protected])

UFC light heavyweight sensation Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (Pictures) was arrested Tuesday by Costa Mesa police officers following a high-speed pursuit through the Californian suburbs from Costa Mesa to Newport Beach. Jackson was arrested on Felony Evading, Reckless Driving and Hit-and-Run charges and was processed Tuesday afternoon at the Costa Mesa Jail with bail set at $25,000.

Jackson was observed weaving his gray and green Ford pick-up truck in and out of traffic on a flat front tire while talking on his cell phone, according to a release from the Costa Mesa police department. An officer on motorcycle attempted to pull Jackson over but the fighter continued driving south on 17th St and over a center divider at Cabrillo Ave. in what became a chase with local authorities around 1:30 p.m.

Authorities said Jackson drove through red lights and onto the sidewalk on multiple occasions, "causing pedestrians to flee in terror." Jackson collided with a vehicle at the 17th St. intersection and continued driving on an exposed tire rim. The fighter was later linked and charged for two other collisions on the southbound 55 freeway prior to the pursuit.

Sherdog.com has learned that Jackson was en route to training partner's residence and gave himself up to authorities outside his final destination at 18th St. and Newport Blvd.

"It was reported to me by the arresting officers that Jackson was cooperative and respectful [at the time of arrest], but upset," said Costa Mesa watch commander Lt. Paul Dondero.

A maestro with the sound byte, former Pride Fighting Championship star Jackson (27-8) has been one of the UFC's richer acquisitions in recent years. The extroverted 30-year-old smashed promotion favorite Chuck Liddell (Pictures) at UFC 71 to garner the light heavyweight title in May 2007. Jackson defended the crown once before a dropping a hotly contested unanimous decision to Forrest Griffin (Pictures) at UFC 86 "Jackson vs. Griffin" in Las Vegas on July 5. Jackson and Griffin had previously traded verbal barbs as rival coaches on Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter 7" before meeting in the Octagon.

Photos released by TMZ.com show the former champion face down on the street outside the house during his arrest. It appears Jackson was directed to exit his truck at gunpoint.

Multiple attempts to reach Jackson's manager, Juanito Ibarra, were unsuccessful.

Even though he just lost dude is still at the top of the division and stood to make some good money on future fights. How people can risk throwing all that away over what's probably gonna end up being some dumb shit is beyond me.

He isn't going anywhere.. He'll get some community service and shit.. Have to pay a big fine. The charges will all be reduced.. I bet the running away from the cops one gets removed completely and then he'll have the accident charges, where he'll end up paying damages and a big ass fine, and do community service.

However, I do think this probably cost him his immediate rematch.

I don't think Dana would let Rampage go right now just because he doesn't want him going to Affliction or EliteXC and people have done worse in the UFC, who were less established, and stayed in the company..

I don't think is going anywhere either but just putting that shit at risk is retarded. Shit could've turned out far worse that what actually ended up happening.

.. and I honestly don't think they were going to give him an immediate rematch anyway.

Damn, lol...he is a fool for that one. Literally.


I agree Naner, why would you jeopardize your career by doing some dumb shit. I'm a 'Page fan, no doubt, but I can never figure out why these guys don't have the common sense to steer clear of situations like these knowing they are under magnifying glasses 25 hours a day/373 days a year.

even if it was a complete accident, people have these reactions all the time. They always think "Oh shit, I just hit somebody and I know it was my fault... Im'a bail out before I get caught!"

and end up turning a misdemeanor into a felony for not sitting there and just talking with the police.
