Former UFC fighter Luke Cummo is currently on the run from police after getting into a domestic dispute with his ex-wife.
According to sources of the New York Post, Cummo allegedly sent out email threats to his ex-wife in the midst of a custody battle over their two boys.
The Nassau County Police visited his home in Valley Stream, New York on Wednesday with a warrant out for his arrest, and they are still searching for any information on his whereabouts.
Many remember Cummo for his stint on Season Two of The Ultimate Fighter. He immediately became a standout on the reality TV series due to his unassuming appearance and kooky personality. Like former UFC champ Lyoto Machida, Cummo was a known advocate of urine therapy, which is the consumption of one’s own urine for “nutritional benefits.”
After the show, he went on to compete in the UFC for three years before quietly ending his professional career with a 6-6 record.
A friend of Cummo’s informed the New York Post that the former MMA star’s life has been spiraling out of control as of late, and he is currently involved in a custody battle with his ex-wife over their two children:
He’s acting stranger and stranger. If you see his Facebook, you can see some weird stuff. He still trains people but a lot of his MMA brethren have stopped talking to him. He quit fighting, lost his job with the UFC. He’s really losing it.
Strange doesn’t even begin to describe Cummo’s current mental state.
Over the last six months, he has been releasing several disturbing video blogs on his YouTube page. Most of the videos consist of him discussing the use and distribution of medicinal marijuana, but the odd nature of his material has increased significantly in recent months. In one particular blog, he prances around his home while rambling on and on about fictional characters from the movie Transformers.
Perhaps the most disturbing part about this entire ordeal is the fact that Cummo is still sending out blogs and posting photos of himself on Instagram while on the run. In a blog sent out on Wednesday, a friend pleads with Cummo to turn himself in and take care of the situation.
Sadly, Cummo appears to be completely detached from all of the chaos around him. One of his more recent videos depicts a man playing a guitar. As the faceless individual strums away at the instrument, the camera slowly pans back to Cummo, who is hovering quietly over the lens with a blank look on his face.
