The MMA career hasn't exactly gone like he was hoping for Mike Whitehead, and now the Season 2 "Ultimate Fighter" cast member is wanted on alleged sexual assault and drug charges according to tweets from Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal from a report on KLAS in Las Vegas.

Whitehead (24-8) was a hot heavyweight prospect back in 2005. He fought out of Pat Miletich's camp in Iowa and was a favorite of coach Matt Hughes on the show. Whitehead never got off during his fight with Rashad Evans in the first round of TUF 2 and lost the match. Hughes had a tough time containing his disgust.

Whitehead, who walks around between 250-285 pounds, fought once for the UFC losing to Keith Jardine in a light heavyweight fight at UFC 57. He moved on to fight with promotions like Affliction, M-1, the IFL and Strikeforce. His most recent fight was a loss in just over three minutes against Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal.

And when we say drug charges, we aren’t talking about a half-smoked joint and a couple of Percocet in the ashtray of his car.
We’re talking about a full-scale marijuana growing operation, with about $500,000 worth of plants. And that’s in addition to, you know, the sexual assault thing.

Las Vegas police reportedly went to Whitehead’s house in the first place because of the sexual assault allegations, but while there they discovered the stockpile of marijuana plants. At that point we can only assume that the investigating officers simultaneously dropped their flashlights, turned to one another with mouths agape, and exclaimed, ‘Dude.’
