Ex-UFC Fighter Ricco Rodriguez Arrested for DUI | TMZ.com
Ex-UFC champ Ricco Rodriguez -- who also appeared on the first season of "Celebrity Rehab" -- has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement, Rodriguez was busted in L.A. yesterday morning at 1:25 AM. He was subsequently booked for misdemeanor DUI. Details surrounding the arrest are unclear.

He was released several hours later on $5,000 bail.

Ricco's rep tells TMZ, "When Ricco was arrested the police officer said he blew a .1. When they had him take another breathalyzer at the station only a few minutes later he blew a .08. We are wondering how a breathalyzer dropped .02 points after a very short time." Ricco's rep says they plan to fight the charges.

Law enforcement tells us, Ricco voluntarily took a breathalyzer test ... and it's not uncommon to get slightly varying results.

did he every manage to get down to 205? and win, wasnt that the plan

i don't think so he is the UWC Heavyweight and UWC British Heavyweight Champion

Goddamn. Goddammit man.

So much wasted talent. He looked to be getting his shit together a while back, but fell short. Seriously, could've been an all time HW great if he was 100% straight.

Yeah, when he got knocked out by Petruzelli, that's pretty much when he should have retired.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Seeing as he has gone 2-8... that'd drive me to drink too.
