Let’s face it: when your job description includes “get punched in the head a lot,” you’re probably not going to be too stable. But these cage warriors take things to a whole new level. Welcome to the dark world of mixed martial madness. From deranged rampages to demented YouTube videos, these are the most mentally unstable fighters in MMA.


I’ll be frank with you here: Russia is a place where crazy human animals seem to do pretty well for themselves. Take a look at the life of kickboxer Viacheslav Datsik. Datsik had one of the best first fights in MMA history, knocking future world champion Andrei Arlovski out in spectacular fashion in 1999, but it was all downhill from there. After six straight losses, he retired from fighting to start a new career robbing cell phone stores. Once arrested, a psychiatric examination revealed that Datsik had severe schizophrenia, believing himself to be “Red Tarzan,” the son of Slavic god Perun.


When Kimo Leopoldo entered the Octagon at UFC 3 to face Royce Gracie, he did so carrying a giant cross on his back. Not the actions of a particularly stable individual. Since then, Kimo has enjoyed a decent career, beating fighters like Tank Abbott and Paul Varelans before retiring from fighting in 2006. Kimo was arrested in 2009 when Tustin, California police stopped his car and ordered him out to discover that he was wearing a full Long Beach police uniform, complete with badge. He’s not a cop, in case you were wondering. A search of the vehicle produced a bag of meth as well. Later that year, rumors of his death spread around the Internet, and basically everybody believed them.


When your nickname is “Lunatik,” you know you’re in for a wild ride. Junie Browning first started training in combat sports at the age of four, opening up his tender young brain to all kinds of damage. He took the world stage on the eighth season of The Ultimate Fighter, drinking whiskey and talking smack about everybody in the UFC up to and including Dana White. After getting released from the company, Browning was arrested for beating up three nurses at a hospital in Nevada, then fled to Thailand where he got horrifically injured in a bar brawl. In the Phuket hospital, he actually got out of his bed to track down his opponents and beat them some more before escaping with his girlfriend to live as a fugitive in Malaysia.


Jon Koppenhaver, the fighter who would take the name “War Machine,” had enough trauma as a kid to warp any mind. We first saw him on season 6 of The Ultimate Fighter, when he was brought in as a replacement for Roman Mitichyan only to be eliminated in his first episode. He came back to wow crowds with a win over Jared Rollins, but was quickly cut from the organization after making sickening comments about the death of Evan Tanner. From there, it was a one-way ticket to crazytown for War Machine, including a detour into the porn industry and being thrown in jail for a brutal brawl at a birthday party. He currently works as a topless host at a gay bar.


For a tough guy, mixed martial arts can represent a legal way to batter dudes into submission, so it’s not surprising that many fighters hail from less than salubrious backgrounds. Lee Murray was born in Bermondsey, a South London slum that’s notorious for producing armed robbers. “Lightning,” as he came to be known, parlayed his knack for violence into a MMA career, beating Jorge Rivera in his only UFC fight. Unfortunately, he was dropped from the company when his myriad legal issues came to light. Right now, dude’s in Moroccan jail being held on charges in relation to the largest cash robbery in British history, and he’s not set for release for 25 years.


Drugs and the ability to kill a man with your bare hands don’t mix. Eureka, California native Jarrod Wyatt had just come off his first pro MMA win in Resurrection Cage Fights and decided to celebrate with a little psychedelic recreation. When Wyatt and his buddy Taylor Powell drank some cups of hallucinogenic mushroom tea, they embarked on a very bad trip. The pair started going down a paranoid hole where they were convinced the Devil was on his way, and the more powerful Wyatt blew a gasket, ripping Powell’s tongue out, cutting his heart out of his chest and cooking it on the stove. Damn, that’s crazy.


There is literally no fighter on Earth as batcrap crazy as Dan Quinn. Former Notre Dame football player turned combat sportsman, Quinn’s been competing in the cage since 2001 against talent including Frank Mir and Jason Lambert. And now he’s living with his mother and making YouTube videos about how sugar substitute Stevia will give you eternal life if you mix it with purified water and marijuana. Quinn’s public tirades are dispatches from a truly bizarre mind, one that thinks God appeared to him and informed him of his true identity as the angel Maitreya and told him how to accomplish cold fission.
