Things have gone from bad to worse for the former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson since his arrest for hit-and-run in Costa Mesa.

According to the Daily Pilot, 38 year old Holli Griggs, the pregnant woman who was sideswiped by Jackson during his alleged hit-and-run incident, suffered a miscarriage and lost her 16 week old baby boy.

Holli Griggs, 38, was driving her 2007 Cadillac Escalade in the left lane on the southbound 55 Freeway just south of Bay Street on July 15 when Jackson’s gray-and-green pick-up truck sideswiped her as he drove along the median lane at about 45 mph, California Highway Patrol officials said

Charges have yet to be filed against Jackson. To be fair, prosecutors are taking their time with the evidence and medical info in the case to make sure the charges are accurate when filed.

Holli’s Fiance, Bill Krebs, came forward on Friday with the news of his wife’s tragic loss. The couples first sign of concern came when Doctors at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Anaheim noticed a significant loss of fluid inside Griggs’ womb following the accident. Ironically, just days before the incident, the couple was told that Holli "had enough fluid for three babies."

Jackson’s downward spiral began on July 15 when he attempted to outrun the Costa Mesa Police Department following the hit-and-run.

Jackson ran several red lights, drove on concrete islands narrowly missing pedestrians, headed into oncoming traffic and hit another car, police said. Officers did not test Jackson for drugs or alcohol because he did not appear to be under the influence, Sgt. Bryan Glass said. He was released that night on bail.

To add insult to injury, Jackson was picked up by police the following day and taken to a hospital for observation after the cops deemed him a danger to himself and others. A little over a week later, there were reports that Jackson was delusional and claiming to be "God."

we should start a pool to see when Rampage’s next fight will be after all this mess. He’ll definitely be broke for a long long time.
I’m guessing he fights next in May 2009.

At the rate he’s going, he will be in jail for murder within a few weeks.

My guess will be December 2008. We need some sort of prize. Sorry it took me so long to reply Vic.
