Luke Cummo Wanted by Police for Threatening Ex-Wife, Releases New Vlogs While in Hiding [WTF, DUDE]


(Man, even Luke’s selfies are weird. / Photo via Luke’s Instagram.)

Former UFC fighter/current schizophrenic video-blogger Luke Cummo is wanted by the police, reports the New York Post.

Their report claims that Cummo sent threatening emails to his ex-wife, which prompted the police to visit Cummo’s home in Valley Stream, NY.

However, videos on Luke Cummo’s YouTube channel tell a slightly different story, specifically a video he posted yesterday. First of all, he seems to believe that his ex-wife was threatened by his videos rather than any email he sent her. He made this claim on a phone call with a friend, after the New York Post broke the news. (Cummo asked his friend what the headline said, presumably referring to the Post article.) He also referenced the amount of cops that showed up to his house. In this same video, he offered to sell medicinal pot.

On November 4th, Cummo posted a more depressing video. He telephoned a deputy sheriff who informed Cummo that a warrant was out for his arrest and that he missed a court date (judging from his other videos, this wasn’t the first time he missed court). The video took a heart-wrenching turn when Cummo called his father, who tried to talk some sense into his son but to no avail.

Of course, it’s understandable that Cummo is upset; his children were taken away from him. But, by the same token, he could have just gone to court. From the video where he calls the sheriff, as well as several of his other videos, it can be inferred that he refused to go through the local legal system because the courts don’t view vaccinating his children and feeding his children processed foods as criminal acts.

Regardless, it’s upsetting to see someone in this situation. He’s gone from a quirky, harmless weird to a desperate, scared weird. Hopefully things won’t go too badly for him but he seems intent on making his legal problems worse by evading the police and continuing to document his various refusals to cooperate with the law.

His most recent video, uploaded around 9:30 p.m. EST, is a short one depicting a man playing an acoustic guitar which then pans back to Cummo looking ominous. We’ll keep you updated on any developments.

Jason Miller and Uriah Hall Reportedly Get Into Brawl After ‘Mayhem’ Launches Racial Slur


(“Some of my best friends are black” defense in 5…4…3…” / Photo via ProElite)

This fucking guy. Jason “Mayhem” Miller has had some problems lately. More accurately, the people he’s allegedly terrorized lately have had some problems. Notably, there are the multiple charges and arrests related to domestic abuse for which Miller is currently out on bond for.

Now, according to Gracie Magazine’s Erik Fontanez, Miller can add racist taunts and casino brawling to his resume. According to the reporter, UFC middleweight Uriah Hall and retired basket-case Miller were both in Commerce, California on Friday night for a BAMMA USA fight card.

After the event, Fontanez tweeted that he saw and heard Miller hurl a racial epithet at Hall. Hall then reportedly went after Miller physically and a fight ensued before being broken up by security of the casino they were in at the time. Below are some of Fontanez’s tweets from late Friday night.

I just witnessed Uriah Hall & Mayhem Miller scuffle.

Mayhem called Hall a “bitch ass ni**a.” Hall threw a punch.

Hall is pacing the front of the Commerce Casino, surrounded by security. He looks heated.

Miller went on to lend credence to the account with his own tweet:

HAHAHA FUCK YOU BITCH NIGGA

Well, looks like Dana White was wrong about Hall not being a “real fighter.” The kid seems ready to scrap at the drop of a hat when his honor is on the line.

Hall has a fight booked against Chris Leben in December, barring any legal constraints put on the middleweight after Friday’s reported casino fight with Miller. Maybe Hall will carry some of his anger from last night over to his bout with “The Crippler.” Or maybe Leben will suddenly decide to get racial and light a fire under the TUF finalist’s behind.

Who ya got in that one, nation? And, how long do you think it is until Miller is locked up in a Russian prison?

Seriously, Jason. Get it together. It isn’t cute anymore.

We’ll keep you posted with updates on this story as they come out.

Aleksander Emelianenko Detained by Police After Allegedly Beating a Man at a Moscow Cafe [UPDATED]


(I must bake you.”)

In terms of extra-curricular violence, Aleksander Emelianenko has become the War Machine of Russia. The veteran heavyweight slugger was previously arrested following a bar-fight incident in 2007, and was fired by M-1 Global after he scuffled with flight attendants and passengers on an airplane last year. (“He then broke the nose of an airport employee and started a brawl in the hotel restaurant where a wedding was taking place.” LOL, classic Aleks.)

Emelianenko’s latest legal snafu took place yesterday in Moscow, where the Grim Reaper allegedly beat up a civilian in public. Ria Novosti has the details:

Russian police have detained mixed martial arts star Alexander Emelianenko on suspicion of beating up a man in a Moscow cafe, an official said Thursday.

The victim was hospitalized with serious injuries, police said, after a dispute Wednesday in a cafe in southeastern Moscow. A hunt was launched for the 31-year-old fighter, who was subsequently taken in for questioning, police said.

Speaking Thursday, Emelianenko’s lawyer denied the allegations. “There was no assault, there was just a conflict that ended in a fight,” he said.

At this point, we don’t have any details about the “conflict” that ended with a guy being sent to the hospital. But look, some guys settle problems with words, and some guys settle problems with fists, and Aleks has never struck me as the talking type.

Emelianenko has gone 2-0 this year, with first-round TKO’s of Bob Sapp and Jose Rodrigo Guelke. He was supposed to face Darrill Schoonover in August but had to withdraw due to a knee injury. His rematch with Mirko Cro Cop is still tentatively scheduled for next month.

(And screw you if you don’t think that caption is funny.)

Update: FightersOnly has more details about the incident, and they make Emelianenko look like a true asshole:

Aleksander Emelianenko is once again engaging with the police in his native Russia following yet another drunken incident.

He is accused of attacking a 63-year-old man in a Moscow bar following a dispute about the man’s volume.

The man, an army veteran, was celebrating his birthday was some friends. He alleges that Emelianenko took issue with the amount of noise coming from the table and immediately sprang into attack.

Emelianenko, via a spokesperson, denies the accusation and says that it was the man and his sons who started the violence following the initial interaction.

He initially avoided police attempts to contact him but in the end visited a police station voluntarily to give a statement.

Media were waiting on his doorstep when he finally exited the house – he spent 12 hours telling people to go away – and took the [below] snap of Emelianenko looking bloated and disheveled.
