Things are not looking up for former UFC light heavyweight champion Rampage Jackson. Days after leading police on a chase following a hit and run in Orange County, Jackson's been picked up by police once again.
TMZ.com is reporting that a police car was waved down in Irvine by people who said that Jackson, staying nearby, was acting weird. The cops entered the house, saw Jackson and then removed him from the premises. He wasn't arrested, according to the report, but deemed a danger to himself and others. He was taken to a hospital for observation.
This obviously calls Jackson's mental state following his loss to Forrest Griffin into further question. Depression, substance abuse or a hundred other potential ways it is manifesting itself is best left for professionals to decide but I hope Jackson's getting whatever help he needs.

I always thought Ramapage would wonbefore the fight but it doesnt matter if he lost the fight. I still think he is cool and the tough guy in UFC. I like him at the start, not because he keeps winning but because he has a true spirit of a fighter and brave just like Keith describe him as a beast. Forrest only won by unanimous decision any way so its not a big whoop he deliver to Quinton. Just won by luck by a little higher points thats all and any congratulation to Forrest Griffin. I still like Rampage cause i'm a fan of him even if he lost.

This fool should be locked up.Anyone without his kind of money would have had a much higher bond set to begin with,and if he wasn't a celebrity no one would be on his side for endangering innocent peoples lives...some of which were more than likely children.
