Rampage Arrested Again
Written by: Mat Houchens
No this isn’t the same news topic. This is another instance of the former UFC Champion being arrested.
Sources say around 4:30 PM yesterday (July 17th), friends who were hanging out with Rampage, waved down an Irvine police car after they were worried about his behavior.
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 coopertive with police.
Cops won’t officially confirm if it’s a psychiatric hold.
This is concerning to me personally and as a fan. It’s not funny either. Further investigation showed that he was claiming to be God to others. This is what’s really worrisome. It really looks like beginning stages of schizophrenia or bi-polar.
I have dealt first hand with being around this. It’s not easy. You don’t want to confront the person but you also don’t want to give into the person either. Medical attention is a must for it to be supressed but if caught early can be easily managed. I hope for his sake and his friends and family he willingly seeks help.

This is crazy. Do you think it’s the fame, the loss or other? I would think a combination of everything. I used to live with someone that was bipolar and it can be bad. I hope Rampage doesn’t lose the fire in the cage though….some of the meds may change him.

Ok? So it was posted a little later than the breaking news? Where in that does this make me a moron?

Well maybe not a moron but the way it is posted you make it seem like he was arrested yesterday. Which may seem to some it would be the third time he was arrested. This isn’t news. This is old. I would think someone putting stuff on a site labeled MMACHUMP would have an ear to what is going on. You don’t.

It was news to me….better late than never. According to Kevin you can’t read. It’s weird though because you can write. I’m confused.
