#4 Jeremy Jackson

Former UFC Welterweight Jeremy Jackson shares more than just initials with his namesake, the former Baywatch star who played Mitch Buchanan. Both are guilty of shocking crimes – Jackson, the actor, of two individual instances of stabbing and Jackson, the fighter of sexual assault.

Jackson’s biggest claim to fame is of being one of only two fighters to have knocked out Nick Diaz. The bad boy from Stockton would avenge himself twice in later fights. Jackson was one of the contestants on season 4 of The Ultimate Fighter but was bounced from the show after leaving the house to meet a woman.

In 2011, Jackson pled guilty to robbing and raping his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
