Rampage Jackson

Rampage Jackson was arrested last month for driving recklessly and hitting several cars. Now the woman in one of the cars hit has reportedly had a miscarriage.

Holli Griggs, 38, was driving her 2007 Cadillac Escalade in the left lane on the southbound 55 Freeway just south of Bay Street on July 15 when Jackson's gray-and-green pick-up truck sideswiped her as he drove along the median lane at about 45 mph, California Highway Patrol officials said.

Prosecutors have yet to file charges against Jackson, a former light heavyweight champion for the Ultimate Fighting Championship who remains free on $25,000 bail. Prosecutors would not comment on any potential charges due to Griggs' miscarriage.

Rampage Jackson is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter who rose to prominence with his fights in Japan's PRIDE Fighting Championships.

He is the former UFC light heavyweight champion losing to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86 by unanimous decision. He has a professional record of 28 wins with seven losses. Jackson is ranked by Sherdog as the number two light heavyweight in the world.

On July 15, Jackson was arrested and booked on suspicion of felony reckless driving, and felony hit and run after striking several vehicles. He led pursuing officers on a chase while driving on the wrong side of the street and on city sidewalks in his lifted Ford F-350 with his picture painted on the side. During the chase one of the tires blew out on his truck and he continued to flee while driving on his rims and showering the street with sparks. The day before his arrest, Jackson gave an interview and said he had become depressed after his recent loss by decision to Forrest Griffin.

Jackson was escorted to a mental institution the next day following an incident at his home. What was supposed to have been a 72 hour evaluation turned into an extended stay.

.....UFC 87 will take place this coming Saturday with odds currently being offered at a number of online gambling websites.

Kenny Florian is only a slight favorite verses Roger Huerta.

Gambling911.com anticipates the most bets being placed on Brock Lesnar, however, and the best odds on him (-230) can be found at BetUS.com
