I want to put on record my sincere apologies to Phil Baroni, the fans and Cage Rage for the incident that took place following my fight on Saturday. It should not have happened and the person responsible is very shamed faced.
At the time — thanks to his incredible right hook — I was unaware that Phil had been assaulted. In fact I was totally unaware of anything and everything. Baroni has my utmost respect for his prowess in the Cage — and particularly the way he handled the assault following the fight.
He could have escalated the situation but instead chose to act like a true and mature ambassador for the sport.
I apologised in person to Phil on the night, he duly accepted my gesture — shook hands — and bought him a drink. There is no ill feeling from Phil or his Team and I now wish to continue to strive to improve myself as a fighter and concentrate on my career. I wanted to make that apology public.
Scott Jansen.
Poor guy. I have a feeling this isn’t the first time he’s had to apologize for his knucklehead brother. But a mention of his wife’s rude bird-flipping behavior would have been nice. A word of advice, Scott: Stop bringing your family to your fights. You’re 3-3 now; getting some peace away from that chaotic group might help your career more than you know.
Speaking of bad behavior: TMZ has now obtained video of Rampage’s arrest, soundtracked by the mellow sounds of Canned Heat. And while we’re on the topic, InsideFighting says that Jackson’s hit-and-run charge is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in county jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. No word yet on any disciplinary action the UFC might be taking.

commentsThe Video didn't show much but I laughed the guy video taping said something along the lines they got him no problems.....he must have missed the hit and runs along with the sidewalk driving.
Jansen: Yeah.
Coleman: I want you to apologize for what happened yesterday.
Janson: And if I don't...
Coleman: ...
Jansen: I want to put on record my sincere apologies to Phil Baroni...
The post is a little misleading. It made me believe that the other charges were dropped and the misdemeanor was the only one he is facing. Not true, he still was charged with felony evading
