Rape, torture, homicide ... is there anything this guy can't do?
Former UFC punching bag Joseph Hyungmin Son, who is serving a life sentence after being convicted of torture in a brutal gang rape case, is now under suspicion for killing his cellmate at California's Wasco State Prison on Oct. 10, 2011.
The story first surfaced earlier today on The Underground with a chilling account from "SoCal PriznGard:"
Ex UFC fighter, Joe Son has murdered his cellmate. While serving a life sentence for gang rape, Joe Son has been attacked several times by other inmates who do not tolerate rapists in prison. It has not yet been determined why he killed his cellmate or how ... Joe and dead guy only ones in cell together. Guard doing count, sees celly is unresponsive, medical arrives. CPR performed. Celly has trauma to chest area. Pronounced dead. Innocent until proven guilty but looks like he did it. These are the only facts that I have right now. Investigation still in progress since it just happened on Monday around 5:00 pm.
Now the Wasco Litigation Department has sent out a press release (via Cage Potato) confirming the inital report, which you can view after the jump.
Officials from Wasco State Prison-Reception Center (WSP-RC) and the Kern County District Attorney's Office are investigating the death of an inmate as a homicide. The inmate, whose name is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin, was found dead in his cell about 5:50 p.m. October 10, 2011.
The 50-year-old inmate was received at WSP-RC from San Luis Obispo County on June 23, 2011, as a parole violator with a new term for failure to register as a sex offender. He received a 2-year sentence.
Joseph Son, 40, has been identified as a suspect in the case. Son was received at WSP-RC from Orange County on September 16, 2011, on a life sentence with the possibility of parole for torture.
"Joe Son" (0-4), also known to non-MMA fans as "Random Task" from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, is probably best known in the fight community for having his balls demolished by Keith Hackney back at UFC 4 en route to a first round submission loss.
C'mon, Son.

Oh Shit!
lol.
I think Joe is fearing for his life considering he’s been attacked by other inmates. Maybe Joe killed the guy in order to be moved to solitary. Another thought would be that given his sentence, he would rather face the death penalty? This guy is pure class!

I have really enjoyed Megadeth since Chris Broderick (sp?) joined the band. I am a huge Nevermore fan so it makes sense lol.
My problem with Dave is he used to be a bad ass. Now he is no more than a crazy bible thumper.

Are they pink before or after you slaughter your cell mate with them?
Are those pink outfits in Arizona Prisons just hand-me-downs from the guys who were put to death by firing squads?

I remember it was around 96' when i first saw this guys nuts get mutilated and then handed to him like that!
My ex-girlbitch rented it not knowing what it was. Ahh takes me back. Makes me all warm and fuzzy to see this now and knowing what he did to that poor woman.

He only fought in a couple UFCs( I think 3 & 4)
BUT, I seen him sometime in the last year or so cornering someone from the UFC. I cant remember who. Anyonw know who’s corner Hackney was in?
This was another classic UFC fight with Hackney
Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These amateurs...
He is training pro fighters in Chicago...
Here is his website…

he took the easy way out
he killed an older guy in his sleep to get solitary confinement. He wanted out of general population because he was getting beat down.
The guy he killed was a sex offender too right??
Too bad the didnt kill each other
Judges suck, FINISH FIGHTS
If he is found guility, they'll separate him from the pack and serve his term in solitary.
But seeing how corruption can play in prison, they’ll probably get him alone in the showers.
1 UFC fight in the "dog fighting" mma
and his name and scumbag behavior is assicated with mma
Damn i thought california was a very liberal state.
With liberal lawmakers passing very strict ‘right to safe confinement’ laws. Where these type of things just dont really happen anymore. The prison system here in tejas is way behind the rest of the country in terms of a ‘safe prisons’ and ya never really see or hear cases like that anymore..i just always thought a good ole shankin wasnt really that easy (virtually impossible) for someone like this guy to pull off..
by dragonassault on Oct 11, 2011 6:45 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
what comes around goes around
Joe Son if responsible for this latest cellmate murder,could have done it for a couple of reasons.1.He was sick n tired of being attacked by other prisoners for being in jail for raping a woman and now will be locked away in solitary confinement.2.There is a pecking order even amongst the protective custody inmates.3.Or possibly he thinks thats by killing a sex offeneder(which is what he is also) will make other people second guess going after him.He will almost certainly gets his due.Inmates will be gunning for him just to say they kicked the shit outa fighter or im the guy who got him,makin thier bones.I only hope he gets what he deserves and thats not just paying his debt to society the inmates deliver thier own brand of justice.

This story is depressing....
…..get it off of SB Nation…he doesn’t deserve the press…
Got there on the 16th of Sept.
and has already wacked someone. Joe is one of the most discusting people born, that said he is probably a pretty tough guy. Hopefully the next time we hear his story its a little more beneficial to the tax payers.
