Rampage Back in Public Eye

Quinton Jackson, ex-UFC Light Heavyweight champion and subject of a recent police chase, showed back up in public for the first time since the mentioned incident at the UFC 87 press conference in Minneapolis. He was accompanied by Dana White and both addressed the media and the crowds.

“Rampage lost the fight to Forrest Griffin. He hung out in Vegas for a week. He was hanging out by the pool and he was fasting. And he wasn’t drinking; he wasn’t eating. He was drinking energy drinks,” explained White.

“You saw what happened on TV, the problems that he had,” he continued. “They took him in for psychiatric evaluation for over 72 hours. What they came back with was that there was nothing wrong with him mentally; it was physically.

“He was exhausted. He had severe dehydration. And that caused something called delirium. Apparently, they tell us he is over it now. He is healthy mentally and physically and will be back in the UFC soon.”

According to WebMD, “Delirium is a sudden change in how well a person's brain is working (mental status). Delirium can cause confusion, change the sleep-wake cycles, and cause unusual behavior. Delirium can have many causes, such as withdrawal from alcohol or drugs or medicines, or the development or worsening of an infection or other health problem.”

Rampage then spoke to the public. “But that was the worst mistake I ever made, I got Dana over my back all the time. ‘Did you eat? Did you sleep? Drink your water?’ It’s like I’m two years old, but it’s all good,” he continued. “I love Dana man. He’s the first one to really take care of me and show me love.”

As mentioned earlier, Quinton was part of a police chase where he sideswiped a 38 year old woman in an escalade, Holly Griggs, who happened to be pregnant at the time. Holly has since suffered complications and lost the baby.

The press then asked Dana about the legal complications. “Yah, he’s got some legal issues, definitely,” stated the UFC president. “The first thing we were worried about was that Rampage was okay physically, mentally… he’s okay. Obviously, with what happened, he’s got some legal issues he’s got to deal with now. Definitely.”
