7 UFC Fighters Who Committed Horrific Crimes

2. Jeremy Jackson

Not to be confused with the former Baywatch star, this Jeremy Jackson was a professional fighter who competed from 2001 to 2007. He is perhaps best known for being the first man to finish Nick Diaz in an MMA contest. However, the two men would end up fighting three times, with Diaz ultimately winning both rematches.

The welterweight was also a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter Season 4 but was sent home due to a conduct violation. He competed in a total of 14 pro bouts, two of which took place inside a UFC Octagon.

In 2008, Jackson was accused of breaking into an ex-girlfriend's house and sexually assaulting her at gunpoint while attempting to rob the residence.

The former Ultimate Fighter contestant pleaded guilty to the charges and received a sentence of 25 years to life.
