Former UFC fighter Kimo Leopoldo busted for drug possession

Former UFC fighter Kimo Leopoldo was arrested by police for drug possession in Tustin, California earlier today after authorities spotted the ex-fighter wearing a Long Beach Police Department jumpsuit complete with patches and a cloth badge according to TMZ.com
The clothing, restricted to police officers only, prompted the men in blue to investigate and upon searching Leopoldo's car, found "a small amount of (illegal substance) what is believed to be meth."
Kimo (10-7-1) is perhaps best known for wearing down Royce Gracie in a losing effort at UFC 3, thus allowing Nebraska police officer Steve Jennum his fifteen minutes of fame.
Leopoldo last competed at UFC 48, getting dropped back into irrelevance courtesy of Ken Shamrock's knee. Kimo would subsequently test positive for steroids following the bout, and again get caught using the juice prior to a scheduled match with Bas Rutten at the World Fighting Alliance.
When we last heard from the German-born brawler, he was applying to be Executive Officer of the California State Athletic Commission (no, really). Leopoldo is currently still in custody.

Yes, and the original mma can. He makes for the absolute best can of all time, because he looks like the toughest guy around, so it is impressive looking when the other guy in the cage beats the crap out of him.

Maybe that cross was actually how he smuggled drugs into the country.

And he wanted to clean up the trash in the CSAC. I can appreciate his efforts as much as the irony.

I think the “JESUS” on his stomach is in reference to his favorite character in the movie “The Big Lebowski”

That’s pretty ironic considering the job that he had been applying for. Way to go bro.

Haha funny he was walking around dressed up as a cop, high on crystal meth.
Was it a symbolic gesture?

Why do I feel like the old-school UFC fighters have been in the news lately? Maybe I’m exaggerating…

Really, what do you expect will happen when smoking battery acid and starter fluid??? And/or whatever f’d up ingredients in meth

People never cease to AMZE to living shit out of me. Isnt this the same ass monkey that just sent a long letter into the CSAC requesting the position that the other ass monkey resigned for.
Head of the CA State Athletic Commission? Isnt that what Kimo applied for with his long letter of “QUALIFICATIONS”???
Just how damn asinine or is it assinine can people rally be. There are enough half brain dead people in the world taking up jobs in which there are FAR MORE people qualified to do them.
WTG Kimo!!! Pothetic, cop impersonating, meth tweaker

Now that I think about it, he is the perfect candidate to run that crackhead organization also known as the CSAC!!!!

Kimo is a moral authority, on tweaking that is.

Remeber when he used to walk out to the Cage dragging a huge Cruifix on his back like he thought he was in the WWE! I have hated this guy ever since I saw him in UFC 2 or 3

Hey Mania, can you get a mug shot? They’re public. Then we can add Kimo to Faces of Meth(.com) It shows before and after pictures of small time criminals later hooked on meth.. ITs basically a horror show, they age about 30yrs, check it out.

He’s been released on bond:

P.S. That mugshot was just a bad picture. He has lost weight because of some recent surgeries so has not been able to hit the gym. Getting caught with once doesn’t make someone a tweeker. Do you see him every day? Do you have first-hand knowledge of his daily habits? I doubt it. None of you would ever say these things to his face but you’ll go ahead and post them online where he has no opportunity to defend himself. WEAK!!!! I’d like to see any one of you stand up to him in person. It would never happen.
If I come off like a total bitch in this blog it’s just because I feel the need to stick up for my friend. Hopefully you would do the same if it was your fried that was being blasted all over the internet. “Innocent until proven guilty”….remember?

I have about had it with the negative comments everyone is leaving about Kimo! If you don’t know him personally like I do, you have no room to talk. Kimo is an awesome person with a lot of qualities I have yet to see in many people I know. Everyone has their own demons and makes their own mistakes. Unless you are perfect, you have no room to judge. “Thou shalt not judge but God”. Although he may have made some mistakes that most of us haven’t made, he most definitely has accomplished more than probably all of us. Overall, he is a good person and one of the most genuine people I know. I am proud to know him and I don’t give a s**t if anyone thinks I’m wrong for that. If you don’t know him and you only know what the media portrays, then you might want to reserve all these messed up comments for someone that you have first-hand knowledge of.
