BleacherReport.com recently came out with another top 10 list, this time for Craziest. 10. Diego Sanchez, 9. Paul Daley, 8. Nick Diaz, 7. Ikuhisa Minowa, 6. Gilbert Yvel, 5. War Machine, 4. Junie Browning, 3. Charles Bennett, 2. Lee Murray, 1. Datsik.
Inspired by their great work, the UG dilligently set to crafting an alternative top-10, shorn of Diego, Daley, and Diaz, but adding other worthy contenders for the crazy throne. A Crazyometer was constructed, generating crazymeterics, from an utterly sane 1 (there aren’t any) to 100 (Datsik). Critical mathematical inputs included incarceration, and wearing a Hannibal Lecter mask. Being forced by police to wear a mask earned extra points.
Charlie Sheen has gotten a lot of press lately for being crazy. Charlie Sheen is a punk. When did Charlie Sheen ever steal $100,000,000 or bring his mother’s cat back to life with sweet Stevia? These ten men can show Charlie Sheen what crazy really is.
10. Lee Murray
In addition to being so crazy that he treated a nearly fatal knife to the heart as ‘just a flesh wound’ Murray is in lockup in Morocco, wanted by the UK authorities for the theft of nearly $100,000,000 worth of British pounds.
9. Scott Lionheart Blevins
Unlike Lee Murray, you can he Lionheart’s friend on Facebook.
The Rocky Gracie trained Maui Thai exponent has had well over a dozen professional fights, none going past the third minute, and none succesful. As an amateur, Blevins showing remarkable consistency, going 0-7.
He talked Dana White into buying the WEC, and was signed by the UFC for its 135 pound division. Years later the UFC actually started a 135 pound division. Doubtless Blevins talekd Dana into it.
Before he could achieve his UFC dreams, Scott Blevins was arrested for several counts of sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old. He has all kinds of stories to explain how he didn’t do it including a corrupt cop and a frame job by a different sex offender.
8. Gilbert Yvel
Knocking out your opponent is cool; knocking out the ref and then soccer kicking him is, well, crazy. (1:30 mark)
7. War Machine
Yes, that is his legal name. The fighter formerly known as Koppenhaver showed great potential as a TUF competitor, in the UFC (FOTN winner), and as a porn star, but somehow things always went crazy. War Machine is currently an incarcerated blogger.
6. Harold Howard
Howard was a little crazy in the Octagon:
However, the Canadian got a lot crazy outside it, and is currently serving a five year sentence for an incident where he crashed his pickup truck into the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.
The incident began when Howard suddenly attacked his nephew with a hammer, striking him five or six times with the claw end of the weapon, as his nephew was getting milk out of the refrigerator. Howard’s sister entered the room after her son screamed and she was struck with the hammer and fell to the ground. The nephew struck Howard with a chair, which ended the attack.
Howard then drove to a house on Carmen St., where his estranged spouse and son lived, and struck her vehicle that was parked in the driveway, causing about $3,000 damage. He then approached the front door and tried to gain entry and yelled: “You ruined my life.”
Police were called. A pursuit followed reaching at speeds in excesso of twice the speed limit.
When Howard approached Niagara Fallsview Casino and Resort, he crashed his pickup truck through the glass front doors and it glanced off the fountain in the lobby, coming to rest against a pole.
Howard represented himself in court, proving that only a crazy person has himself as an Attorney.
5. Paolo Filho
Filho has suffered from a host of psychological issues, an addiciton to roofies, and publicly breaking down in the cage. He has also showed moments of skill seen only at the very highest level of the game. His ever expanding tattoos offer an unsettling window on his inner turmoil.
4. Joe Son
The self-proclaimed Spirt of the Lord Jesus Christ fighting in what appears to be women’s panties is crazy in a funny way.
Joe Son’s 2008 conviction for gang rape is crazy in a let’s hope everything that happens on OZ is true kind of way.
3. Charles Bennett
Former nickname Krazy Horse, currently nickname Kid Khaos, always crazy.
2. Dan Quinn
Quinn is in his reality Maitreya, the future Buddah (it has to be true as it is tatooed on his stomach). He discovered cold fusion by blending Stevia in water, a process that will shortly make him the richest man in the world. Stevia was in the warhead carried on the Enola Gay, and brings dead cats back to life. He lives with his moms.
1. Datsik
After a high point of knocking out future UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, Datsik lost a half dozen fights in a row before reappearing in the news for stealing cell phones in St Petersburg. Russia. Astonishingly, he was found crazy and sentenced to a psychiatric unit. Then he pulled apart the facility fence with his bare hands and escaped, only to reappear in Norway, where he turned himself in along with a loaded handgun. In court he requesed a maximum sentence, stating he thought it would help him live a healthier life. The Norwegians eventually deported him to Russia, where he was returned to psychiatric care, this time presumably with a really, really heavy fence.
