It has just been reported, that former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, has been arrested in Costa Mesa, California.

It has been reported that Jackson rammed his custom Ford F-250 pick-up truck, complete with his likeness painted on the rear driver and passenger-side doors, into at least one car.

It is also believed that Jackson was involved in at least two separate collisions while driving on the highway.

A patrol officer attempted to pull Jackson over after he was seen weaving in and out of traffic with a flat tire.

Rampage ignored the police and continued driving.

Losing control of the truck, Jackson drove up onto a sidewalk.

He continued on, colliding with a vehicle in an intersection and running several red lights.

Eventually, Rampage brought his truck to a stop and was arrested at gunpoint.

He was brought to Costa Mesa City Jail where he was booked on charges of felony evading, reckless driving and hit-and-run.

Jackson was sent to Orange County Jail, where he is being held on $25 thousand bail.

As UFC and MMA fans worldwide will remember, it has been just over a week since Rampage lost his belt via unanimous decision to current champion Forrest Griffin.

Is this just the beginning of a downward spiral?
