Rampage Jackson Goes Crazy

    Have any of guys seen this news story? I wonder what made him lose it?

    Pulled from here.

    "As TMZ first reported, the just-defeated UFC champ was busted yesterday afternoon for alleged felony hit and run. Now we have the details -- and they're insane! Rampage was on the 55 Freeway in the O.C., hit two cars and got off the freeway. The chase was on.

    Rampage then began driving on the center divider. But it gets worse. According to the police report, Jackson then drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee for their lives." He started driving the wrong way on a crowded street, colliding with yet another car in an intersection. As he continued on, running several red lights, his tire disintegrated and he began driving on the rim.

    Rampage eventually got to the exclusive Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, where he again drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee in terror."

    Eventually, his car came to a stop and he was taken into custody at gunpoint. Cops took him to the Orange County Jail, but they determined he was "medically unfit" to be booked. Cops won't say if he was high.

    Rampage is currently in an O.C. hospital."

    That's a good way of getting rid of frustrations after losing a fight.

    He was picked up again last night:

    Pulled from TMZ again:
    "Sources say around 4:30 PM yesterday, friends who were hanging out with Rampage, waved down an Irvine police car after they were worried about his behavior. This, of course, following the insane chase the day before in which the UFC fighter hit several cars in his monster truck and was arrested at gunpoint.

    We're told Irvine cops saw Rampage, deemed him a danger to himself and others, and took him to a hospital for observation. Rampage was very coopertive with police.

    Cops won't officially confirm if it's a psychiatric hold."


    I don't think he was drunk or on drugs. He would of been charged for driving under the influence. UFC also drug tests their fighters. I think the guy is just mentally ill. I'm disappointed in a way too, because he brought a lot of charisma, and personality to the UFC.

    He seemed to handle the defeat pretty well after the fight.

    Yea he did. There was a video of him doing a interview the day before he went crazy, and he was stumbling over his words/looked lost. He said he was kind depressed since the fight. There hasn't been much information since then, I guess we'll have to wait until his hearing when they officially put the charges on him.

    Maybe he was put on pain meds for the leg or something and that helped cause his depression. Opiates can really screw with some people's emotions.

    Good point. It's very possible with today's doctors, they over prescribe everything.

    I guess it's depression. Maybe the pressure of loosing the fight finally made him snap.
