From Mickey Dubberly -- Chief Executive Officer of K.O. Dynasty Sports Mgt. -- on behalf of his client, Josh Neer:
"We are still looking into the matter as a lot of the facts are still unclear. We back Josh 100% in resolving this issue as quickly as possible and putting this matter behind us and moving forward. I know Josh on a personal and business level and he is a great person, fighter and loving father. We apologize to Josh’s , fans, family, friends and the UFC while we have to deal with this incident. We are very grateful that the UFC has supported Josh throughout his career and has given him the opportunity to be a co–main event. In no way do we ever want to bring any negativity towards the UFC as they have been nothing but great to Josh. Josh is already looking forward to put this incident behind him and is focusing on his fight with Mac Danzig. We would hope everyone would reserve judgment until all the facts are known in a court of law instead of just going off of here say. No further comments will be made until after the court hearing. Josh wants to thank his friends, fans, family ,training partners, UFC and everyone that stands behind him for supporting him through his career."
It appears at least for now that Neer is still lined up to tangle with Mac Danzig at UFC Fight Night 17 at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla., on February 7 after a major run-in with the law early yesterday morning.

Let’s see…
Even if he is responsible for 1/2 of what he did, he’s in a lot of trouble.
1/2 would be:
Hit 1 car
1/2 drunk
Plus, evading police.

Josh going to jail… for how long seems like it would partially depend on priors…right? I’ve never been in any kind of trouble like this, but I imagine they put those guys away for awhile.

I like how everyone comes out with this “reserve judgement until the facts are known…” BS. Its one thing when there are no witnesses or evidence, but when you hit cars and run from the cops for 20 minutes, thats another. Josh and Quinton need to man up and answer for what they did. This is the same moronic-type statement that Blogojavic and Casey Anthony’s lawyers have used as well. See what they all seem to have in common? They all have a ton of evidence against them.

Funny, almost everyone forgives Rampage for a similiar incident but I bet Neer gets ripped hard on this.

What is it with mma guys and running from the cops? Just pull over.. wtf is the problem? A first time DUI doesn’t necessarily mean your going to jail, it just means some community service, $$$, UA’s and class’s, no biggie; yea it’s annoying, but it’s not hard to get that shit done. Now he’s turned it into a big deal; I don’t understand the mentality, a DUI is not the end of the world. Same for Rampage, though I understand he was suffering delerium, still; in this society pulling over when you see those flashing red/blue lights behind you should just be an automatic reaction.

Your probably right. As for myself, I will do an unbiased amount of ripping on both.

You’d think the CEO would have someone proofread any statements that are made like this to the media.
“here say” is supposed to be hearsay.
