WECs Leonard Garcia involved in Lubbock, Texas, cocaine ring bust

leonard garciaWorld Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) featherweight fighter, Leonard Garcia, was recently among 13 suspected individuals arrested for allegedly being involved in a major drug trafficking organization in Lubbock, Texas, according to KCBD.com.

Here's a snip:

"NewsChannel 11 has learned one of those arrested is mixed martial arts fighter Leonard Garcia. He was arrested Tuesday in allege connection with the cocaine ring. Garica is currently ranked sixth in the featherweight class in MMA. He has fought in UFC and Ultimate Fighting championships."

Garcia is perhaps best known for losing a three-round war against Roger Huerta at UFC 69: "Shootout" in April 2007. He recently transitioned to the WEC and dropped down to 145 pounds, taking out Hiroyuki Takaya via technical knockout in his debut earlier this year.

After the bout he lobbied for a title shot against WEC Featherweight Champion, Urijah Faber, which is even more unlikely with this recent bad news.

The report reveals that all of the suspects under arrest have conspired to sell cocaine going back to as early as 2001. And the "Bad Boy," if convicted, could face up to 40 years in prison and up to a $2 million fine or life in prison and up to a $ 4 million fine.

Clearly, these are extremely serious charges that apparently were four years in the making. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

This probably stems from things he did before he was even in the UFC or WEC. They said going back to 2001. I’m curious to see when his alleged involement is. It would be a shame if it was from incidents he no longer was a part of. I hate seeing people who try to change their life for the better still get pulled down by the past. If it is more recent, then I have no sympathy for him because he would have spit his second chance in the face.

it is about time the mf got caught. I know him personally , and EVERYone in lubbock knew what he was up to. It is just crazy that it took 4 years to figure it out. This guy has gotten away with things so many times , it wouldnt suprise me if he got away again, but dude he used to supply to a lot of people i know. he has been doing it for a lot longer than any one knows. I supported him, but i awlays knew what he was really about.. sorry to his fans—- but it is true!

Wow, the article states he fought in the UFC AND Ultimate Fighting Championships. Impressive!!

I also hope he is innocent and found as such…or if it was in his past and he has split ways with the guity that the judge sees that and gives him a lesser sentence or even community service. Breaking rom that life is hard enough, but going to jail basically undoes all of that. Does he serve society better as an example of change or in jail? If he has truly stopped, then jail is a waste.

lubbock is a small town so everybody knows everybody in 1 way or another i heard of this kid long time ago and he would hangout with a gang after he got in ufc i spoke with him at a bar and asked him about his old friends he said "i dont hang out with them anymore im trying to stay out trouble and just do my thing " i hope is is cleared on this cause he does have talent but i think it will be something that happened a few yrs back

Wonder how much major press this will get seeing that he’s affiliated with the UFC??

He wasn’t really a major star in MMA so probably not too much. Hopefully not as much bad press as the NFL gets when athletes screw up.

I really enjoyed watching this guy fight, Huerta was a battle, but I don’t feel a bit sorry for him. He obviously wasn’t concerned about his career even though he might be now…

by grembone on Mar 28, 2008 11:04 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Lubbock jokes aside, the UFC website lists him as 28 years old, so he was 21 when this started (allegedly). Plenty old enough to know better. And he already had at least 4 professional fights under his belt by 2001 with a 3-1 record, so he had to know there was some promise to his career. I also can’t feel sorry for him.

leonard has more than 1 bitter x. he is a no good dog, who gets girls pregnant , then denies their kids. I know a few of them ,and they all look just like him. tell me has anyone ever heard of him having kids?? yeah , cuz the sorry sleeze bag doesnt support them. I feel sorry for him, there are plenty of women out there who know his game, and will testify against him in a second. he’s going down! so back off of " that girl" she is just being real . He has hurt a lot of people and done some horrioble things. So she is right- that is what he gets!

even if “that girl” is an x believe me she knows what she’s talking about and so does jzm. everyone tries to make him out to be the good guy…. lemme me tell you he isnt..he was one of the main guys… and he is a b@@@@, he makes his boys do all his dirty work and take the blame for all the shit… not even caring about them or their families… that fool is worthless… not only that but he is a dead beat dad…. that fool has so many kids and doesnt help not one of them… threatens the girls he knocked up and leaves them to raise kids on their own.. poor excuse of a man. it would be nice if people would stop making excuses for the guy and let him go down in flames… he brought this upon himself… this was a long time coming …. maybe this time he will learn his lesson…. i hope they go hard on him so he can suffer the way he has made alot of others…

Leonard’s fighting career started in Plainview, Tx. He was a member of a gang called 2C (Too Conceited) wearing purple dorags. How gay was that? Anyways, he would run away from fights. Some things never change. Last year he had his boys jump a kid outside South Beach Night Club in Lubbock, TX. At which Leonard jumps in after the kid was beaten up pretty bad and leans on him pretty bad. If I were a Bad Boy I would start and finish my own fights. I wouldn’t be a punk and let my punk friends start something and let me finish it.

by Seth on Mar 28, 2008 3:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Too bad, he did have talent…He got out of holds, missed some punches and got out from under some pretty tough guys. Not to mention, paying child support and taking care of a few of his kids. I hope that he doesnt get out of this. Lubbock is a small place and any and everyone knew what leonard was all about. Pics to Prove. and NO, this was not left behind in 2001! I knew him personally and I do feel for you FANS…he has just wasted some great talent and the potential to actually do something productive with himself.

Bitter ex no that would not be me but just bitter towards that man yes. I know him person to person and he has had this coming to him for a long time. I do not wish bad on even my enemies but everyone must pay for the things they do and the people they hurt. No one leaves this earth without paying what you owe. He has hurt, judged people, not taken care of who matters (his kids), and made people enemies just to leave what he started behind. He is human like you and I and he may have talent but how can he expect to live a great life when the things and people that should matter don’t.

Are you fucking seriousthis is fuckin stupid…talking shit about someone supposely not being there for their kid..come on they werent saying shit when they were spreading their legs thinking they were so damn fresh and cool fucking him…so whats the real hate about cuz he moved on and had another kid with someone else and/or because he was working on being someone bigger than what you ever thought was possibleget over it cuz damn you want to be so concerned about the child than go take care of it yourself if you think hes not doing it right..theres absolutely no reason for someone to hate on a baby daddy or “sperm donor” cuz damn the woman has responsiblity too and I know about that cuz I have kids which I pratically have been raising on my own cuz I have some baby daddys living their own life well you know if they make it big or got it good well big ups for them.I know Im not waisting my time feeling sorry for myself or hating on a guy cuz Im doing what I have to do and making my way for my kids..Being bitter is waisting your time looking stupid cuz if you were any better than youd just be happy with your child and thank God you have that child in your life…yup the biggest and greatest blessing in life is my kids no matter who there father is they were put on this earth for a reason so be a woman and take care of your kids and quit wondering, worrying and hating on the other parent..haha dumbasses that goes for guys too ya know what I mean…anyways take care everybody and everyone needs to find a new hobby haha cuz like me yall are just all being nosey but Im grown enough to admit it…whatever the outcome Leonard ya know everything happens for a reason..lessons are taught mistakes are made cuz no ones perfect.

Now, the whole world knows the truth about Leonard Garcia. But I ask everbody to feel sorry for his kids not him. His kids left out of his life. But, his kids are better off, considering the fact that he was never around to begin with. Sad but his kids don’t benefit from none of his accomplishments.

Its true that Leonard has a background in the drug business with his gang, (G Unit) but if you know him personally, your probably not any better than him. Obviously you have some bad blood with him and all that trash your talking isnt about his kids. (Its “business” right?) I met him a few times and is one of the nicest persons I ever met in my life, we trained together a few times with Damacio Page and Duane Cerroni along with Leonard and learned some great MMA moves. I had hoped with his fame in MMA that he would leave that life of the streets, but I guess its easier said than done. Am I glad he’s locked up? NO. Am I glad those drugs are off the streets? YES. I guess I’m stuck in the middle. But stop hating. Explain why you really dont like him, …you junkies.

JUST FOR THE RECORD ALCOHOL IS THE NUMBER 1 KILLING DRUG IN AMERICA. I used to hate Leonard also, until I had a chance to meet with him one time, and found out he is just like everyone else. Trying to figure out life; making bad decisions along the way. Everyone has two sides to themselves. Good and Bad. And because we were born with a sinful nature. Romans:7; Its usually more bad than good. We are all evil in are own way some of us just try to justify it by lying to ourselves. I will pray that the judge have compassion for Leonard and everyone else involved in the DB and that these young people will see that there is more to life than the fame and the fortune.

What it all boils down to is someone getting involved in something that could and most likely will ruin your life, and unfortunately isn’t that easy to get out of. But at the same time no one is perfect and everyone has dirty laundry throughout their life. And I’m going to bet that if any of you were in his position or his families y’all wouldn’t want people talking trash about it because it would just make the situation worse. So maybe you should think about that before you criticize.

this is really alot 2 take in and the kickin him when he’s down isn’t positive. we’re all human we all make mistakes. he hasn’t been convicted of anything and here’s the mudslide of bs. i know Leo thru his younger brother. after spending 12yrs of my life defending this country for the Air Force in the states and around the world. i fell victim 2 shoddy police work and my life has been turned around because of it. there’s alot i’m sure u peeps could stand 2 learn about how the law works in this country. ur guilty until u can pay 4 or prove ur innocence. i was indicted and the whole 9yds and after not just settling 4 the status quo of pleading guilty 2 a lesser charge so i can go home 2 my daughter and son and 9 months of incarceration they dropped the charges and i was released. the media plays both sides of the fence. don’t believe half of the crap they broadcast. i’m from san antonio not lubbock but this is still Tx and things here and other places as well aren’t how they’re supposed 2 be. unless ur walkin in a man’s shoes it’s not ur right 2 judge him. so there’s not always justice in the justice system. i have no idea about what’s happened b4 the past 3yrs and it’s not my concern. haters come a dime a dozen and i’m sure most of the people slingin the bs wouldn’t say it 2 his face. we all have opinions and i’m not claiming he’s guilty or innocent. i just know that things aren’t always what they seem and there’s 3 sides 2 every story. trust no one’s information but ur own.

let me just say i’m a lubbock resident. i knew who leonard was through several mutual friends who were part of “the crew” or “g-unit”, depending on what they called themselves at the time. as stated before, lubbock is small and if you get big enough at what you do, everyone will know who you are. and everyone knew leonard and his “crew” were not the guys to mess with. they did what they did and a lot of people felt the consequences of their actions, mainly by getting jumped at the club which is something i’ve seen first hand on many different occasions. but who are we to sit here and judge them. in the end everyone will answer to The Lord and until we are all perfect and there is no more sin in this world, we have no right to say someone else is wrong or to judge them for their actions. i’m a strong believer in the justice system and believe justice will prevail. whether or not i agree with what they did or not, i continue to pray for all parties involved and their families that they seek comfort and support through The Lord. and whether or not i like the guy, leonard is right. you can’t sit and dwell on the past. all you can do is repent and move on. i hope justice is served, but i hope most of all that the lord’s will is served.

At least you’ll took care of them. Not like LG and all the kids he didn’t give a shit about. It was all about getting his. Those kids are better off without your ass! Good luck in prison BUM!!!!!!

I don’t know about all this other mess, but back to fighting. If the above article is true, than the sport has lost one great upcomming scrapper. We all make and lay in our bed at some point…

Don’t know about all these bitter ex-girlfriends using this to vent because you’ve been dumped! Honestly, this doesn’t make you any better. None of us know the real facts—-it is all hearsay. Nothing spreads faster and gets distorted faster than rumors and all of you feeding off of this to publish all of this hateful garbage…are no better!!! You don’t have to like LG but airing out your dirty laundry as they say…(which by the way has nothing to do with the issue) is just plain FOOLISH!

Hey Leonard sorry for whats going on all I can say is it sucks to have so many haters…people will always talk and think shit about things they have no idea about…well no matter what theres always people who believe in you and sometimes you have to go through things to show how strong you really are…God doesnt give you anymore than you can handle.Never believe what you hear and only half of what you see.

I am an MMA fighter from Lubbock. Though I have never trained with Leonard, I have heard plenty through mutual aquaintences. I just want to say to Leonard… I hope this is a wake up call man.Forget the fact that you’re edging on ruining the rest of your career,..JAIL IS HELL…Best of luck man, God bless.
