Former UFC competitor Jeremy Jackson in deep trouble with the law

It appears that former UFC and Ultimate Fighter 4 competitor Jeremy Jackson (9-5) was arrested and charged with several felonies, including two counts of rape in late June. With those two counts of rape he is also charged with kidnapping, burglary, assault with a weapon and attempting to threaten others (witnesses). Things do not bode well for the former UFC fighter who is due at Ventura County Superior Court this coming Wednesday, in which he is to make a plea on the charges.

Jackson is being held at Ventura County jail with bail set for $1 million dollars. His last UFC fight was against Pete Spratt at the TUF 4 finale losing by submission due to a neck injury, but does own notable wins over Shonie Carter and EliteXC lightweight contender Nick Diaz. His last fight overall was a TKO victory over Hector Carrilo at Total Combat 19 in March of 2007.
