Ken Shamrock: Steroid abuser. Pretty much just shows up for a paycheck these days, unless he's fighting someone even less healthy than he is. Last-minute dodging of fight against Kimbo Slice started a chain of events that led to the demise of EliteXC.
Paul Daley: Sucker-punched Josh Koscheck after the bell at UFC 113; became one of the few fighters to be released by the UFC for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Jesse Taylor: Suspended by the UFC for a drunken rampage in which he abused limousine windows, slot machines, and female casino guests.
Peed shorts on national TV.
Jeff Monson: Noted anarchist, vandal, polygamist and alleged grandfather clock destroyer.
Ricco Rodriguez: Former drug addict. Likes to tell the story of how he got into a bad car accident while high, then dragged the body of his girlfriend (who he thought was dead) into the driver's seat so the cops wouldn't bust him for driving with a suspended license. Spit at Ben Rothwell during an IFL fight.
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou: Lost his mind at DREAM.9 and would not stop pounding on Jan Nortje, despite the ref's efforts to drag him off.
Paulo Filho: Delusional, unreliable, a recovering drug-addict, owner of some of the stupidest tattoos on Earth, and driving force behind one of the strangest bouts in MMA history.
Keep in mind that Impact's debut event on July 10th will feature repeated steroid suspect Josh Barnett and Armenian basket case Karo Parisyan. Not a bad way to build heat for your promotion, if you don't mind working with the dangerous and unpredictable. But if half of these fights fall apart before showtime, don't come crying to us...
