Very "Snapshot of the Day" worthy. Not sure why he's shirtless.

He doesn’t look right.

Might have something to do with, you know, getting arrested.

And so begins the Michael Vicking of Rampage Jackson

No offense intended to anyone, but that’s what this reminds me of. No matter what, it’s bad for the sport, bad for Rampage, bad for Dana White, bad for the UFC … there’s very little upside to this news. We can only hope this will turn out to be overblown, but I have a sickening feeling that this is going to get worse.

Be easy.

Of course there’s no upside, but honestly, this thing is barely being covered much at all outside of TMZ. It’s going to be like BJ Penn punching a cop in a bar within a few weeks.

Did you really compare this situation to organized animal cruelty and murder?

Really?

by Simco on Jul 16, 2008 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions

Murder?

LOL can you really classify an animal dying as murder? nutjob

Not the same

Michael Vick hung, drowned, and shot 8 dogs.

Rampage did a litt;e urban off-roading in his truck.

Don't forget

He also electrocuted dogs. Yeah…

Remember how great the commentary was on here before people started treating this blog like a forum where they could post asinine, uneducated comments?
I sure do.

It was awesome.

I wouldn’t go that far. He’s not even champ anymore. It’ll die down in a couple weeks.

problem is

he was repping the UFC for months on TUF. though i have to admit he wasn’t exactly filling up the frame every episode. hard to get a lot of camera time when jesse’s pissing himself. still, he was at the forefront every wednesday for a long while

Yes, but ...

This is a big weekend for MMA. It’s not good to have one of its most recognizable faces being posterized as a mugshot.

by thetakeover on Jul 16, 2008 7:46 PM EDT reply actions

Just speculating: It looks like he may have had cottonmouth. His shirt may be off due to the heat. I don’t know – what conclusions can one come up with by looking at this picture.

by lovingmma25 on Jul 16, 2008 8:23 PM EDT reply actions

Or perhaps

It’s related to his medical evaluation.

by Luke Thomas on Jul 16, 2008 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions

no no

a cop souvenired his shirt – its on ebay ;P

shirtless

Luke- The shirts off to document his tattoos, which is done by photographing them at the same time the person in custody’s mug shot it taken.

They take pictures of all prisoners tattoo’s primarily to identify any gang affiliations which effects where certain prisoners are housed.

They also photograph the tattoos for identification purposes. They’re put into a police database and run through a system which can identify a possible suspect by matching distinguishing marks and tattoos, in any cases in which police do not have a solid or specifc facial discription of a suspect.

Makes sense

As someone with a ton of tats, this is good to know.

Planning on running amok in a monster truck, are you?

by Brett Jones on Jul 16, 2008 10:09 PM EDT up reply actions

Ah, so that’s why Rampage has no shirt on. I just thought the Police department banned Affliction too.

by pud333 on Jul 16, 2008 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions

No No

I disagree, his shirt is off because they had just conducted the full body cavity search.

So much for the rematch with Forrest ...

I this Forrest/Chuck just got a lot more likely…

by thetakeover on Jul 16, 2008 11:02 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah, but we get that long awaited dream match with Rampage and Krazy Horse.

by Mike Fagan on Jul 16, 2008 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions

Krazy Horse actually annoys me enough that I’d like to see that execution.

This is why its not worth it to be a celebrity. His arrest video, mugshot, police report, and interviews with the arresting officers are instantly uploaded to the internet. No thank you.

by Day Man on Jul 16, 2008 11:54 PM EDT reply actions

The other TMZ video with rampage is pretty whack, he seems TOTALLY out of it, a lot of talk about god and whatnot. I’ve seen a lot of interviews with Rampage and never one where he’s as fucked up as this. I presume that video was just before he fell off the deep end.
