Celebrity Justice
Round 2 -- Cops Nab "Rampage" Again

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has been picked up by police 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 cooperative with police.

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

Story developing...

3. FIBiker do you know Rampage personally? If you don't know him why call him a sissy?

"When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.” so maybe you're the sissy.....

4. There has to be some mental breakdown issue here. Everything I have seen of him show he is just a class act all the way and this behavior must be symptoms of a bipolar episode or something, perhaps triggered by his recent loss. Rampage is a good guy, so don't bash him for what sounds like a medical problem. Don't be surprised if they pull a Britney on him and make him stay @ the mental hospital somewhere.

5. I'm with Mich, he just had a big loss to Forrest Griffin and most folks thought Rampage was the heavy favorite in that bout. He might be dealing with some real depression/anxiety issues here, he could even have turned to self-medication through misuse of drugs as a lot of people do when they are depressed.

The guy really doesn't have any kind of history of being a jerk or criminal stuff that would account for this. Ge could also be suffering brain trauma.

6. Forrest must've really f***ed him up more ways than one.

7. I wonder if maybe he does or did take Steroids and he is going INSANE like some of the others.
Sad,Sad

8. I'm a ufc fan, but it's pretty sad how these great guys make money by getting hurt. Most of these guys will end up like mohamed ally and mike tyson with mental problems. Getting hit in the head like these guys get hit isn't healthy for the brain..

9. TMZ, haven't we all heard enough about this guy?

10. steroids? when u fight for the title u always piss. steroids dont make u go insane like that. nice try tho. lol

11. Someone from the "inner circle" of Rampage's camp needs to be w/him 24/7 b4 he hurts someone or himself!!

something bad obviously is going on personally in his life. nothing has happened yet that can't be fixed by some insurance money/ justice in the Ca. court system/ suspension from the UFC for a few months....

but if left to his own devices...he seems bent on further destruction at this point...
someone give him the help he needs....

12. What's with black athletes and crime?

13. He needs a mental evaluation..something's not right here

14. To Laila, since you are such a BIG UFC fan, then you should know that these guys dont get punch drunk like boxers do. They dont end up having brain damage. And Dallas, no, we havent heard enough about this guy. If you were a fan of MMA then you would understand how big of a deal this is. He was just on Spike every week coaching the ultimate fighter, then he just fought a five round war with forrest griffen to lose his LHW title. Keep it coming TMZ, im waiting to hear the rest of the story

15. I wouldn't call him a sissy. But, I think the whole "Oh, he must have a medical condition" is a cop-out. It's the easy way out for not being able to handle adversity. Rampage, you lost, get over it, move on, and start training to make up for it.

I have a few in-laws who can't handle failure. So, they blame it on their "mental illnesses." They don't want to work like the rest of us. So, they claim disability due to their supposed "mental illnesses." Get a grip, suck it up and know that your only mental illness is being weak and lazy.
