(On a scale of Rory Markham to Mayhem Miller, I give it a Thiago Silva.)
As something of a nihilist, I’ve always thought that our species was/is genetically inclined toward chaos and would/will exploit even the smallest opportunity to prove so, be it Black Friday, an extra day off of work, etc. Give us a day off to tackle some home improvement projects and maybe see Selma, and we give back an army of dirt bike riders on the freeway. It’s like what T.S. Eliot said, “This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang *or* a whimper, but with a holiday weekend.”
Case in point: The MMA community over the past few days. Not only did BJ Penn KTFO his amigo over the weekend, but now it is being reported that former Bellator/UFC heavyweight and sayer of dumb things, Dave Herman, was arrested in Indiana on multiple felony charges yesterday following a brief chase with police as well.
Details after the jump.
The official report of Herman’s arrest has been made available below via the Dekalb Sheriff Department’s Facebook.
So a bar fight, a police chase, and another possible Mayhem Miller assault. Is that MMA’s version of bowling a turkey?
We’ll keep you updated on Herman’s arrest as the information is made available.
