In fact he was suffering greatly mentally and emotionally at that time, as was reported. He is not an idiot, crazy, or any other offensive term. He is a very sensitive sweet man who was greatly troubled by forces outside of him. He will have a great comeback and we will all see a power and influence as great as Mohammad Ali, god willing.

I didn't know this website has such a following in the medical community. The fact is, no one know Rampage's thoughts or feelings, other than Rampage (but judging on his comments, maybe he doesn't even know). What would really worry me if I were him and the UFC, is using a defence such as "I thought I was on a mission from God" might call into question his mental health. When your job is to get punched in the head over and over, some governing body might frown on sactioning a fight with someone who could be a hit away from having real and serious psychological problems. I hope for Rampage's sake as a human being, that he gets makes sure everything is right with him and forget everything else. Wow, everyone who reads 5oz of pain is a psychiatric doctor.

The statements that Quinton Jackson made are not only quite pausible for him to believe, but also themes common to people suffering a psychotic break. I would not pass judgement quite so quickly or harshly, if Quinton Jackson does indeed suffer from some sort of mental illness it is most likely caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. My assumption is that your reaction wouldn't have been so strong if he had a diabetic seizure (also caused by a chemical imbalance) and crashed. Now, that said, people with mental illness still have the capacity to make choices, and he made a horrible choice and should be punished accordinly, but to discount what could quite possibly going through his mind is a mistake. My opinion is obviously colored by my job, so take from it what you will. Great site, keep up the good work.

Yeah give me a break dude. If he hit your mother with his truck or anyone else you care about for that matter, there is no way you would "calm down" and run to Rampage's defense.

Some of you are saying it is wrong to say he is guilty without knowing the facts, but then you turn around and justify an insanity plea. So you guys are basically saying he is in fact guilty, BUT he was mentally ill at the time! Wow! and you guys have the nerve to say someone else is jumping to conclusions! "HOLY SHIT"!!

Don't try to defend him saying we don't have the facts! We do have the facts! He hit cars, kept on driving , and led police on a chase! What the hell else do we need to know?! And now he is saying it was because he watched a movie and god told him to go and save his friend!!!! All I have to say to that is "JESUS CHRIST" and "HOLY SHIT"!!!!

I'm no Rampage fanboy. No one is saying he is not guilty and doesn't deserve to be punished in some way, just that it's screamingly obvious that he didn't have all his mental faculties that day, and that should be taken into account. IMO, he needs help, not jail time, but I'm not going to bitch about the outcome, whatever it will be. There are scores of people that are sent to prison when counseling and medication would be much more beneficial to them, and to society in the long run. Being rational isn't a bad thing. Better than the "off with his head" philosophy. @ ttt

We live in a society that cares more about the convict than the victim. I care about the victim. I don't care if Rampage was crazy or not, he fucked up and he deserves to pay the price. What does it matter if you're crazy or not? You're still a problem for society. Screw medical issues, if you put other people in danger you put other people in danger.

He was really fat leading up to that fight and although he dropped a lot of it by fight time, he still had major cardio issues... even with a wounded knee he should have been working the aerodyne or something at least. You can't tell me that his gassing was entirely because of a torn ACL... I have to say I feel its just as likely that he gassed because he was forced to fight without the juice.
