At the start of the month, he was the undisputed UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World.Two weeks later, he's slamming into cars, going on high speed chases, getting arrested and now is undergoing a mental health evaluation.
The MMA-haters out there are going to somehow make this about Rampage having taken one too many shots to the head for sure, but there is no way that is possible. Forrest Griffin barely hit him in the head during the last fight - he did some damage to his leg, but not his head.
It's reported that Dana White flew out to Cali and bailed Jackson out following his arrest and it's very understandable why.
Jackson is easily one of the most recognizable and charismatic stars of UFC and his name was very much in the news following his high-profile fight with Griffin. Also, all eyes are on both UFC and Affliction right now as Saturday's dueling cards draw closer and while UFC's free show on Spike offers the best pound for pound fighter in the business, the Affliction card offers the one man UFC couldn't secure (Fedor Emilianenko) and a loaded card from top to bottom.
As an avid MMA fan and a huge Rampage follower, here's hoping that he's back to doing stuff like this in the near future and we don't have to endure any more of this.
