The ink is barely dry on the police report and media folks are already calling for Quinton Jackson's head. Jackson was involved in a hit & run chase with police Tuesday afternoon. He was arrested by the Costa Mesa police and bailed out by UFC president Dana White.
Frank Trigg, a former UFC fighter, Affliction television analyst and host of TAGG radio says White has to drop the hammer on Jackson if the charges stick:
"There's always consequences," said Trigg (pictured on the right). A guy like Dana has to hold everyone to a higher standard. Especially with a guy like (UFC owner) Lorenzo Fertitta in the office full-time. It may be a one-time offense. I don't think Rampage meant to do these things but he did something wrong and needs to be reprimanded."

If Jackson suffers no penalty it sets a bad precedent according to Trigg:[YSP:MORE}
"If you're pulling a guy out like Jesse Taylor out (of the Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale)...they canceled his contract and gave him three months to think about it. If this (Rampage case) goes to court, (White) has to cancel his contract. If you're acting like an idiot outside your sport you should pay."
Trigg also said UFC has to weigh the risk of dropping Jackson from his contract. It's not like the old days of UFC domination. There's a strong chance as a free agent Jackson could easily sign with Elite XC, Affliction, Stikeforce, etc.

As for Rampage? Well Rampage's actions were private and had nothing to do with the UFC, unlike that moron on TUF who tried to take on everyone at a casino.
These guys are fighters, they will get into trouble with the law. The UFC won't drop him or suspend him.
