More Bad News For Quinton Jackson
Some may recall that shortly after Quinton Jackson’s infamous hit and run incident transpired, a woman who was about four months pregnant was reported as one of the victims who Jackson allegedly injured after sideswiping with his sponsor-clad Ford F-350. Apparently, that woman has since miscarried, and may or may not be bringing legal recourse to the man they call “Rampageâ€.
From The Daily Pilot:
“Holli Griggs, 38, was driving her 2007 Cadillac Escalade in the left lane on the southbound 55 Freeway just south of Bay Street on July 15 when Jackson’s gray-and-green pick-up truck sideswiped her as he drove along the median lane at about 45 mph, California Highway Patrol officials said.
…Griggs was unavailable for comment Friday. Her fiance, Bill Krebs, said doctors were immediately concerned when they noticed a significant loss of fluid in Griggs’ womb after the accident. Days before the crash, the couple had visited the doctor for an ultrasound, and Griggs was told she “had enough fluid for three babies,†Krebs said. She was pregnant with a boy.
Griggs was sent to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian after the accident, CHP officials said. Krebs said he and Griggs were then sent to pregnancy specialists at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Anaheim, where doctors noticed the problem.
…Prosecutors have yet to file charges against Jackson, a former light heavyweight champion for the Ultimate Fighting Championship who remains free on $25,000 bail. Prosecutors would not comment on any potential charges due to Griggs’ miscarriage…The couple have retained an attorney but have yet to take legal action against Jackson.
“No amount of money will bring back my son,†Krebs said outside his home Thursday.”
Suffice to say that if I were Quinton Jackson, I would have my attorney and PR rep on speed dial, if I didn’t already.

Quinton Quinton Quinton…
We won’t see this guy fighting for a ****ing long time.
That is just sad news…Prayers are with the family…
he has done all this so he can duck wanderlei lol
I DON’T FEEL ANY BIT OF SYMPATHY FOR RAMPAGE BUT I FEEL SO BAD THE THE MOM WHO LOST HER SON. THATS GOTTA BE SO TERRIBLE. UFC BETTER GIVE RAMPAGE SOME KIND OF SUSPENSION.
jordan, grow up you moron! a mom loses her unborn kid and you come up with ur stupid childish comments. as for me, my prayers are with this family.
Man, I thought I felt bad for Quinton. Well, I still do, but this lady has to be going through hell right now.
But on the legal side of things, this will be very, very hard to prove that it was actually the collision with Jackson that caused the miscarriage. No matter how or why it happened it is horrible though.
Wow all I got to say is Jesse Taylor Kicks out a window and is pretty much fired? Quinton Jackson hit and run and now a dead unborn baby and he is still hired? All I got to say is Rules should be for everyone , not just everyone but superstars in the sport.
I THINK HE SHOULD STILL GET SUSPENDED… IT STILL MAKES THE SPORT LOOK BAD. AND KIDS LOOK UP TO HIM. AND HE PRETTY MUCH KILLED SOMEONE. IF ITS TRUE. I THINK RULES SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE. BUT I AGREE WITH THE WHOLE JESSE TAYLOR THING.
Excuse me guys but I need more information than this load of **** before I place balme on Rampage for a miscarriage. This lady was 38 yrs old, not married and driving and Escalade…..I’m questioning what type of person she is. Unmarried pregnant 38yr old? Doesn’t sound like someone who makes good decisions. I’m not saying Rampage is right in anyway….. He was definitely WRONG! But why did it take this long for some “no name” to bring a lawsuit and a sob story about her miscarriage? My best friends wife is some sort of ultrasound specialist somethin or other. I only mention that because I was amazed to find out how hard it is for many people to have children. I’m not convinced this was Rampage’s fault as much as the incident is a convenient excuse and way to blame someone for a very unfortuante incident. All I want is more proof. As far as I am understanding, a “side swipe” caused this. There is either more to it or this lady is full of ****!
I feel bad for the baby who never gopt a chance but seriously……UNMARRIED 38YR OLD PREGANANT WOMAN DRIVING A 2007 ESCALADE! What the hell kind of person is she? She could afford a brand new car but not a wedding license/certificate so that her baby would not be born a bastard?!? The whole situation is f-d up but I won’t let an unborn child change my opinion on someones character.
Drop him…Let Xc have a pornographer vs recklessdriver/manslaughter for a main event on CBS. That should do it…
Wow KOuch sounds like you are judging the woman who hasn’t even pressed charges yet.
Call the anger bro… wait to see what happens. Nothing wrong with an unmarried woman making money.
Your entire post is just craziness. I don’t want Rampage to be at fault here…but if he is I think the woman deserves some restitution. And KOuch it sounds like you’re letting very little facts change your view on HER character. Talk about a double standard.
The sad thing is… from now on it’s up to the sleazy lawyers to decide what’s right or wrong in this case…
We do need more of a causal link before Rampage gets officially canned. Right now I am in her camp. My brother-in-law and his wife are having a worst case scenario pregnancy right now so its a sensitive issue…
Oh and my thoughts go out to her and her family over this….whether the alleged incident caused it or not.
Rampage,
Do you need a lawyer?
I am sorry if I offended anyone with my last post. I just get a bad feeling about this lady and her character……
Dannyboy,
Facts of lady:
1. Pregnant
2. Unmarried
3. No husband but BABY on the way.
4. New CAR
5. Not available for comment.
KOuch makes a great point. This woman was 38 years old. How many 38 year old women do you know that have gotten pregnant. I will tell you, very few. And if they do, sadly, they usually have a miscarriage. Now, like I said this will be tough to pin on Quinton even if somehow he did cause it. Yeah, he was very wrong in what he did but I have to question this whole blaming him thing. I dont know about all that.
As for the comparisons of Jesse Taylor to Rampage. Please. Jesse was and still is a nobody, he ran his mouth of in the name of the UFC in public. He used the UFC as his “right” to act like an idiot. He STILL got another shot. Quinton is very marketable and a former champion. Thats the difference.
Dietrich,
My best wishes and sympathy go out to you and your family.
It sucks so bad that Quinton had such a great career going and then brings this upon himself. All he had to do is get back to training and we would have seen him on a card before the end of the year. Now….who knows? There was so many more people I wanted to see him fight and I thought we(thefans)would be able to get that by him no longer being champion. F-n Rampage…Personally, I think he has destroyed his career. Legal troubles take forever.(Randy)
Dannyboy,
My post was just craziness? When are they not?
KOuch,
Thanks man…I don’t want you to think anything you typed bothered me because:
1 It didn’t
2 Free expression is a right…
I am posting this page because it might help others(teens who worship Rampage no matter what) know what parents go through…It is not and endorsement of any religious views expressed therein…

Dietrich,
Good deal. Right after I posted I felt like, “oh ****” people are going to misunderstand what I’m trying to say. When it comes down to it, Rampage f-d up, it is very F-d a child lost its chance at life and the lady needs to prove she is not the crappy person I get the feeling she is.
-UFC Nazi fotr LIFE!!!
Do you guys think if Rampage won this would have still happened? Imagine how f-d the UFC and MMA would look/be if Rampage were the champ and did this.
Whoa henery and kouch…. first its very common for 40 year olds have perfect pregancys. And who are we to be questioning this womans intentions? Its a story dug up by a reporter, the woman has not even filed a lawsuit. Yet, People are doubting her intentions? and charater by her age and the type of car she drives? Are we really that shallow?
I hope the best for Rampage, I know this is going to really mess with his head.
KOuch,
Once again I am leaving the coputer with a smile.Take Care
D
Pecker,
Shallow?!? Maybe…probably…more like I’m an asshole at times…but hey, no one is perfect. Yes, I am judging this lady. She is a grown adult bringing a life into this world without a husband. Like I said, she has money for a fancy vehicle but can’t get married? If you saw 4 Hispanics in a lowrider with hydrolics all wearing red, wouldn’t you think, “gang memebers?” Same thing here. Grown woman in a new car bringing a life into the world without a husband. I won’t call her any names because this is a sensitive topic. I will however question her character. I grew up without my biological mother and my father died when I was 13. That is why I have such a problem with children being born to unmarried couples and women with questionable character such as the lady in this situation.
How about this situation, she is a 38 yo woman, has been in advertising since college, Now a major add ex. Was married got a divorce… started dating again, is where she wants to be in her career but is a bit jaded with the idea of marriage but really wants a child and she has been living with the guy for 2 years and they plan to wed.
now that’s just off the top of my head, but do you see that you are judging someone from a discription, she has not done anything wrong here, just happened to be in a bad spot at a bad time. The topic points are
1. Rampage’s little outting
2. Womans miscarriage, which occured during Rampage’s outing, not saying Rampage is the cause, thats not up to me.
Pecker,
Sure, some 40 yr old women have successful pregnancies but the harsh and sad reality is that many that age lose the child. I am no doctor and I do not know the specific scientific reasoning but it goes down that way sometimes. It is really really sad that the baby is gone, I mean that sincerely. But some of you are ready to crucify Quinton and no one knows if he is responsible. Again, how do you prove something like this legally? I don’t see it happening.
The woman does not seem to be the most honorable I don’t think, but I am trying to stay away from judging her as well. This is just a bad situation gone horrible now. I’ll be praying for the family of the baby and for Quinton’s life to get back on track. We have to remember he has four kids himself that look up to him. I hate this whole thing.
I agree Henery, its a sad situation all around. I’m not crucifying Rampage, in fact I’m concerned about how he will react to knowing his actions could of caused a miscarriage esp. because he has four kids himself. Its the line, “The woman does not seem to be the most honorable” is what I’m taking issue with. She may be a crack smoking whore. But the facts are a reporter got her name off a police report that will have stated the miscarriage, we know nothing else about her, except she drives a higher end car and is not legally married. It says nothing like she is planning to sue Rampage and the UFC for everything their worth. Sure we have free speech, we also have the right to face our accuser.
Being a cop and medic I have put in 1000’s of hours in the hospital. Medicine has come a long way in the last decade, and more and more women are deciding to wait till their late 30’s to have kids, and the mortality rate is not much higher than a woman in her 20’s.
The best to both parties involved.
I wonder why none of you guys have gotten called in to investigate this incident yet!
I have two sisters that had their first children after 38 (one 39 and one 40 or 41). Both were completely natural.
One didn’t think she could get pegnant and was single. The other got married older and wanted children.
To your point:
1. Pregnant
– It happens…
2. Unmarried
– OMG! This must be a first in America!
3. No husband but BABY on the way.
– Didn’t you just say this in #1 & #2?
4. New CAR
– Guilty!!! but of what?
5. Not available for comment.
– If she ran to the press you’d think that was better? I doubt it.
Your comments should have been raised in the 80’s during the Murphy Brown era.
Kouch – lemme guess. This woman was being punished for being unmarried??? Are you Pat Robertson posing as an MMA fan? I hope Rampage puts this sll behind him, but that woman is not guilty of anything but being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
sounds to me like a reporter has just tryed to make rampage/mma look bad, if the woman hasn’t said owt then it cant of been cos of jackson because she’d have rang and told the papers and every thing, if i was rampage ide go find the reporter an kick his ass, i think we will see rampage wandi in december.
The woman has not even pressed charges… I love Rampage but the bottom line is he was wrong and nothing changes that. KOuch I imagine if this was your sister or wife you might have a different character assumption. Not everyone gets married anymore, perhaps she was artifically inseminated? perhaps she’s had problems getting pregnant? perhaps she has a J O B and can afford whatever car she wants but does not want to be married? dont be such a dummy
Rampage must have been on something for him to do all this. if not he just whent crazy, but he did go on a hit and run chasse and caused all the problems
hmmm, i tried posting earlier but i dont think it went thru. anyway, read the story closer guys, this chick was engaged. pretty important detail when trying to establish character yet it’s been completely overlooked so far. best wishes to all parties, bottom line is that this story sucks for everyone involved.
MY prayers are with Quinton and HIS family. I’m not sure I believe Griggs. It has been proven more and more that women in that age bracket stand a greater chance to have complications while pregnant. She very well could have been having problems before the accident. I really hope she isn’t using this as out. God bless. I hope to see Quinton in December vs. Wanderlei and remind us why he REALLY earned the name “Rampage”
MMA fan for life.
I hope Tito makes lots of money, as long as it’s outside of MMA. We don’t need “gimmie-gimmies” in this still growing sport. It just makes it look bad.
How is being engaged important in establishing character? Totally irrelivant. Everyone on here that thiks less of her because she’s unmarried better never have had pre-marital sex. I’m sure that’s the case.
the best 205 is going to jail for a long time bad for the sport o and duck silva lol i dont care what happened in pride rampage will kill silva
Haha KOuch got himself in a bit of a jam here didn’t he.
The good thing is…the (UFC) Nazi’s learn from their mistakes. No wait… they didn’t tell hitler that the american’s had landed at normandy because they were afraid to wake him… the tardation of it is fascinating.
i agree.. drop him.. let xc have him.. so they can put together a cry baby b***h and A Wreckless Driver To Fight
i just wanna put my opinion on the differences of rampage and jesse taylor and what they did. jesse taylor ****ed up on the ufc tv reality show when he was still pretty much a nobody
jesse badmouthed ufc and rampage to media
what rampage did wasnt on a tv show, during an event or specifically linked to anything else ufc besides himself. so rampage didnt **** up in the cage so i dont care what he did, hes still a fighter, fighting is his job and he does it well and i can wait to see him fight again
Taylor should get signed by XC blow up to 206 and fight Kimbo for the exact amount of the TUF.That would help them all.
