Dana White's custom Ferrari just got its ass kicked by something with a total disregard for the well-being of a beautiful automobile
-- a Hyundai rent-a-car.
The UFC kingpin tells TMZ he was changing lanes while cruising through Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon when a "Hyundai rent-a-car" suddenly stopped in front of him -- and Dana smashed into the back of it.
White said his beloved car -- which he had only driven 3 times before the crash -- took the brunt of the blast ... while the Hyundai only suffered a few minor scratches.
As for Dana's condition, he tells us, "I'm fine ... but my heart is broken."
A self-described "homeless" man hit up the wrong person for cash -- because last night Tito Ortiz handed out brutal honesty instead of $10 bills.
When the guy asked the former UFC champ for some cash, Tito flatly denied him, saying "I worked my ass off for my s**t ... laziness don't get you anywhere in life."
This has been Tito Ortiz's motivational moment of the day.
The guy who used to play the Green and White Ranger on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is trying to fight with creatures from this planet -- dude is an MMA fighter now.
35-year-old Jason David Frank -- who used to fight inside a friggin' Dragonzord -- just told MMAweekly.com he's hoping to fight inside the UFC octagon.
The 6th degree Black Belt just signed a deal with a new management team and hopes to get in the ring pretty soon. We'll let you know when he actually schedules a fight.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was able to make an interview get real awkward real quick -- by suddenly humping Cage Potato's hot reporter for the last 35 seconds of the interview. And trust us -- 35 seconds is a long time when you're randomly getting rabbit humped.
Tito Ortiz is on the receiving end of a serious legal attack -- one that started after the UFC legend bashed "Rampage" Jackson's former trainer to the media.
The guy filing the lawsuit is Juanito Ibarra -- a fighting expert who claims he's trained more than 15 world champs and several Olympic Gold Medal winners. Ibarra's pissed over an interview Tito gave to a website back in 2008, in which the fighter ripped Ibarra as a "thief" who had financially "taken advantage of Rampage."
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Ibarra claims Tito's statements are all false and "highly offensive" -- and things got worse when scores of sports websites began publishing follow-up stories, repeating Tito's comments.
Ibarra is suing Tito and all the blogs and publications that ran Tito's interview for defamation, invasion of privacy and emotional distress.
TMZ has just obtained yesterday's mug shot of former UFC superstar Kimo Leopoldo -- and it's just plain sad.
TMZ has learned Kimo has a history of legal issues besides the drug and stolen property charges he's facing from an arrest in Tustin, Ca yesterday. Back in '93 he was arrested for assault and battery and in '07 he was arrested for domestic violence.
Since then, he's become virtually unrecognizable -- a shell of the former fighting machine he used to be.
Kimo was released from custody early this morning. No word on when he'll be back in court.
He's kicked the crap out of all sorts of UFC fighters, but now Kimo Leopoldo is battling a serious drug charge.
TMZ has learned the famously tatted MMA badboy was arrested by Tustin police Monday afternoon after they spotted the 6'3", 235 lb fighter wearing a Long Beach Police Dept. jumpsuit, complete with patches and a cloth badge -- a badge only cops are allowed to wear. The officers -- the real officers -- then searched Kimo's ride, where they claim to have found "a small amount of what is believed to be meth."
Kimo, who famously lost to Royce Gracie in UFC 3, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and is still in police custody. Cops say there will also be an investigation into where the 41-year-old got his hands on the LBPD gear.
UFC badass Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell might be only guy on the planet who can still pull chicks after getting knocked the hell out on national television. Vegas gals are a huge fan of Chuck's lumps ... and by the looks of it, Chuck is a huge fan of theirs.
The Imperial County Sheriff's Department went on a frantic search to find former UFC champion Evan Tanner before his body was discovered in the desert yesterday. Tanner had gone into the California desert, even blogging about his "adventure," saying, "I'm not going out into the desert with a pair of shorts and a bowie knife, to try to live off the land. I'm going fully geared up, and I'm planning on having some fun."
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has been picked up by police again.
Sources say around 4:30 PM yesterday, friends who were hanging out with Rampage, waved down an Irvine police car after they were worried about his behavior. This, of course, following the insane chase the day before in which the UFC fighter hit several cars in his monster truck and was arrested at gunpoint.
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 cooperative with police.
Cops won't officially confirm if it's a psychiatric hold.
Turns out, if local news had run the Rampage Jackson car chase live, it could have gotten Super Bowl ratings because it was one of the craziest chases on record, causing pedestrians to "flee for their lives." As TMZ first reported, the just-defeated UFC champ was busted yesterday afternoon for alleged felony hit and run. Now we have the details -- and they're insane! Rampage was on the 55 Freeway in the O.C., hit two cars and got off the freeway. The chase was on.
Rampage then began driving on the center divider. But it gets worse. According to the police report, Jackson then drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee for their lives." He started driving the wrong way on a crowded street, colliding with yet another car in an intersection. As he continued on, running several red lights, his tire disintegrated and he began driving on the rim.
Rampage eventually got to the exclusive Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, where he again drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee in terror."
Eventually, his car came to a stop and he was taken into custody at gunpoint. Cops took him to the Orange County Jail, but they determined he was "medically unfit" to be booked. Cops won't say if he was high.
Former UFC light heavyweight champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson got busted just minutes ago, and is currently in custody on the way to the clink -- but not before he was ordered to the ground, cops nearby with guns drawn.
Law enforcement sources tell us, Rampage was in a car crash near Newport Beach (that's near Laguna Beach in the O.C.) and then split the scene. Cops gave chase and eventually caught up and charged him with felony hit and run and felony evading arrest.
Here's the deal about the dumbest hit and run ever. Notice the truck he tried evading police in -- the one with the giant picture of him plastered on the side!
We're told there could be additional charges. No word yet on whether Rampage resisted arrest.
Bad week. He got his ass handed to him last week (courtesy of Forrest Griffin) and just got it handed to him again.
It didn't matter that UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Quintin "Rampage" Jackson wasn't a featured model at the Ed Hardy fashion show at Pure nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last night -- he took his shirt off anyway! But when the smokin' hot, scantily clad models hit the runway, nobody, and we mean nobody, cared what Rampage was or wasn't wearing.
Thanks to our good friends at SpyOnVegas.com, we've got all the hot action on film. Enjoy!
