Think Dana will scrub the interwebs of that UFC branded truck Rampage was in?
I guess a rematch with Forrest might not happen for awhile, unless they open up that prison market just ripe for MMA events.

Well I like the guys fighting and he's pretty entertaining - but ne never came across as being particularly stable.
Can't blame the cop for hiding behind the truck though- gun or not!

This popped up on Sherdog yesterday and it seemed like a joke. It's hilarious and sad. Rampage must be a total idiot to think he was going to get away in a huge raised camouflage truck with his image pasted on the side. I like the guy as a fighter but I hope he spends a few years in jail for this. Two hit and runs followed by another hit in run, driving into oncoming traffic and up on side walks making pedestrians run for their lives while running from the cops? It's pure luck no one was killed.

On top of the law and jail time, I hope Dana White comes down hard on him. All too often you see Dana flip out on a guy on The Ultimate Fighter for being a douchebag and damaging the image of MMA fighters, if he doesn't come down on Rampage then it seems kind of hypocritical to me.

There seems to be some debate as to whether or not he was deemed medically fit to be booked?

IMO, the UFC should end his contract or at least suspend him for a year. I know a lot of people don't agree with this because this isn't directly related to fighting, but I'm sick of thugs in sports. You'd think Dana would do that based on the things he's said to the guys on TUF. I wont hold my breath though. Dana will probably be hypocritical on this because Rampage sells tickets.

I don't think it should be ended but at least a years suspension. Sean Sherk (I think it was him) got a year suspension for the PED fiasco which if I recall correctly he was actually cleared of the charges. I really hope Dana handles this well, I have always liked the way he has run the UFC and how he took the hard stance on the guys in TUF, it would really be a shame for him to change that stance now.

It appears Rampage may have some other issues going on. I was talking about this with a friend who's experienced nervous breakdowns (combined with substances) and said one can completely lose it and not have any idea of what your doing.
I doubt there is any coincidence as to why they deemed him medically unfit to book, and have mental health professionals checking him out today.

I'll take back everything I said about kicking him out of the UFC or suspending him if it's a legitimate mental health thing. If that's the case I hope they back him and he gets his mental health back.

Agreed with Kuri. Rampage has been around for a while and doesn't have a history of being a tard. It sounds like there's something legitimately wrong. Maybe he broke down. Maybe he medicated. But it seems like the guy has some issues beyond going momentarily stupid.
Supposedly he was on a diet of only water and energy drinks for 4-5 days. Do you think that can cause delusions?
I feel bad for the guy, he always acted real nice, and was pretty funny. If you look at the videos of him the day before and day of the incident, he seems to be acting really strange. His voice was different, kinda hoarse, and he was kinda solemn. I hope he gets better.
Hmmmmm.Hope he can get his shit together for the sake of his family.
Not quite sure why so many people blame Juanito for the breakdown, but interesting that Rampage has now binned him.
