Prison MMA GOATS

[mkt]

Heres a list I made back in 2013.

Needs updating...

Jeremy Jackson - In Jail For Rape.*
25 years. Very strange court case.

Joe Son - In jail for 450 years for gang rape. Arrested in 2008 for vandalism, DNA linked him back to some 1990 nastiness.

Hermes Franca - Sexual assault on a minor. In jail now.

Charles "Kid Khaos" Bennett - made a plea for legal money recently. Is constantly popping in and out for drugs, assaults, and more. Due for release in 2015, apparently.

War Machine - went crazy at a porno pool party and "bodies started hitting the floor", he got 2 years.

Aleks Emilienko - Armed robbery in Russia saw him get 4 years and a shitload of gangster prison tattoos (and hep c).

Vyal(I forget) Datsik -robbed a mobile phone shop in Russia, escaped to Norway, became a neo-nazi and got re-arrested.

Bas Rutten - went to jail in holland for beating up a load of bouncers and an undercover cop. Apparently had fun in jail.

Chris Leben - Think it was a DUI. He choked a guy out in jail for a demo and freaked out when he didnt wake up straight away.

Jimi Manuwa - Burglary and assault. Turned his life around and became a UK mma legend.

Lee Murray - Robbery. Britains biggest ever. 20 years in a Moroccan hell hole.

Paul Kelly - Herion ring leader. 13 years. Sentenced a couple of months ago.

Ryan Gracie - Found dead in a police sale after being arrested for a drugged up rampage in Brazil including carjacking, assault, theft, and DUI. His doctor fed him pills which reacted badly with the drugs he'd taken and his kidneys failed.

Rob Emerson - Assault. Was part of the "Lords of South County" rich kids that made a load of vids of them beating up lone individuals. Not sure he did time though.

Melvin Costa - Assault, robbery, and general assholeness... He has a large swastika tattooed on his chest. Interestingly he is also the first openly gay male MMA fighter I can think of. Edit -- think I'm mistaken on the gay thing, although he was in jail for a long time...

Mike Whitehead - Sexual assault on two girls. He had a load of weed plants out back and is doing a long stretch.

Josh Rosenthal - Weed cultivation and production. "Heisenthal" will be out in 3 years.

Tito Ortiz - Assault and battery (on Jenna). Did 29 days and a shitload of community service.

Frank Shamrock - Robbery, assault with a deadly weapon (a bat). Not much more is known, but the guy went to a federal prison for that one.

Matt Brown - Drug possession, assault, burglary... "The Immortal" got his name after an overdose in jail during one of a few stints he did. Turned his life completely around and is now a cult favourite fighter.

Harold Howard - Drug possession, assault, driving incidents and going apeshit in a casino. UFC 3's most colourful character is still in jail.

Edit:

Jon Jones - DUI. Didnt do more than a night. Broken Bentley.

Quinton Jackson - The famous DUI hit-and-run police chase with miscarriage of pregnant lady in a truck with his picture on it. Dana got him out of jail. Can't believe I left this out.

Chael Sonnen -Fraud over some work on some buildings he owned that plumbers were supposed to work on but he just kept the cash. Gangster. Didnt do jail, but fucked his political career... Their loss though...

Reza Madadi - Armed robbery. Is free at the moment, trial impending. The CCTV pic I saw does look a lot like him...

Ryan Ford - him and another guy went to jail for home invasion, they were debt collectors, and in the process of 'debt collecting' Ford almost cut the victim's fingers off of his hand. (From 5 rounder).

Patrick Smith - Sexual Assault on a child in 1999. Failure to register as a sex offender in 2004.

Melvin Guillard - drug possesion and parole violation (for possession again).

Jeff "The Snowman" Monson - Some kind of assault and battery on one of his (many) girlfriends... I'm shady on the details, but I think it was more than one occasion... Whatever the details, he did 3 months.

Brandon Sailing - Felony rape of a minor. Domestic battery four years later... Has "88" tattoo meaning "Heil Hitler". Lied to get on Tate vs Rousey Strikeforce card... Class act, no doubt.

Kimo Leopoldo - Arrested for suspected possession of meth, turned out to be weed. Rumoured dead shortly after but is alive and well, beating Tank recently.

Jason "Mayhem" Miller - Burglary, breaking and entering (of a church, naked) and other tomfoolery. Did not do any jail time.

*Honorable Mentions*

James "Just Bleed Guy" Ladner - Receiving stolen property (a tractor). Was released in 2012, whereabouts now unknown!I

Arianny Celeste - Battery on her dickhead sounding boyfriend. Was late for the UFC event she was supposed to be carding that night, but ultimately she was never gonna be in that much trouble..

As for "Just Bleed" Ladner, his crime was drug-related according to this article. He was released in 2014 and is now an accountant. He lost interest in the UFC shortly after the "just bleed" incident. He said weight classes and unified rules made the sport less primal and unregulated.

"Basically, at the time, I liked taking ecstasy,” explains Ladner. “And I would go to Dallas and go party. And I would leave here and people would say, ‘Hey pick me up some weed, pick me up some cocaine or whatever.’”

Ladner was pulled over by police while traveling back from a party in Texas. He had thirty ecstasy pills with him at the time. He was charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics. This meant a minimum sentence of ten years in prison. He claims he was asked by prosecutors to name his friends from home, who had requested the drugs, in exchange for a lighter sentence. Ladner says he rejected the offer. “Some people make that choice,” he says. “But I wanted to walk away and hold my head up and say, ‘I did this on my end. I’m not dragging anybody else down.’”

Hope they end up in a cell with Bret Rogers

I forgot about him. And Bob Hoffman. And Dan Quinn. Lots of HWs who had their issues with the law.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

jk

Jones has been to jail once or twice over some misunderstandings. But he hasn't done any prison time.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

Are we talk in’ prison or jail?

 

[Skarr]

Datsik destroys Joe Son in open weight.

 

[DestinedAussie]

Just reading about that lunatic Mayhem Miller in jail again, and was thinking how not surprisingly you got quite a few MMA fighters who end up in the can.

So just wondering who would be the champs by weight class out of the convict MMA fighters.

I rank them based on the severity of their crime, length of sentence, combined with their actual fighting skills.




Featherweight - Crazy Horse Benett

Lightweight - Jeremy Jackson

I'm guessing WW would be between these two guys?

War Machine

Mayhem Miller

Middleweight - Lee Murray

Lightheavyweight - Thiago Silva

Heavyweight - Aleksander Emelianenko

Openweight Champ - Joe Son

Am I missing anyone?

Lee Murray could have easily been a UFC champ. His also the scariest mfker on this list.

 

[Kwic]

Datsik

View attachment 854747

A better picture.

 

[Rear Naked Toke]

It's not allegedly. He did ko Tito I think

Liddell and Miletich were there and both have said that it happened.

 

[SteveTaylor]

Great post for originality and candor and this is the...

Honorable Hall of Fame:

Josh Grispi as well as Cody East

Basically the Sammy the Bull Gravano of MMA

 

[Beef Action]

I say Alexis Vila has FLW and BW on lock from lockdown, even at around 50 years old.

 

[Koro_11]

Yeah, Howard always reminded me of Keith Hackney is terms of size, skill and even looks. Hackney beat Joe Son in a minimal rules NHB fight. However, he escaped a submission (and eventually won) by repeated groin shots...something that would get him DQ'd today. So that fight is kind of a toss-up.

Howard and Hackney were indeed very similar, but Howard had the way better mullet.

Lee Murray could have easily been a UFC champ. His also the scariest mfker on this list.

I don't know how "easily". He refused to fight in his weight class, and his defensive wrestling was just bad, even if he shown improved cage awareness against Rivera. I'd been possible but certanly not easy.

 

[Black Paladin]

Krazy Horse, what a character that was!

Reminded me of a swole Ol' Dirty Bastard every time I looked at him. "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" all day.

 

[Crocop42]

Holy fuck, i can't imagine trying to deal with Krazy Horse in jail. His mix of personality and fighting style is a powder keg for a shitty day.

 

[Pressure Project]

Oezdemir in 2017. Battery in Fla

Yeah, I think this stupid idea of Murray being some kind of folk hero has inflated people's memories of his MMA game. Like many other fighters, he might have had the athleticism/tools to be great if he really dedicated himself to training and didn't run around with lowlifes. I don't know if he was USADA friendly, though.
