Orange County holds a special place in the world of mixed martial arts.

It's home to several UFC stars and MMA clothing lines such as TapouT and Affliction in Seal Beach. But it's also where several famed combatants, such as former UFC Fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller, have made headlines for behaving badly.

Police say "Mayhem" Miller lived up to his name when he was on suspicion of breaking into and ransacking a church, setting off a fire extinguisher and falling asleep nude inside the church. Miller has trained at .

And he's not the only ultimate fighter to have run-ins with the law lately. Famed fighter and Huntington Beach resident Tito Ortiz was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend, adult film star Jenna Jameson. Additionally, there have been drug-related arrests, DUI busts and even a high-speed chase and deadly crash in Newport Beach. 

Although mixed martial arts fighters are famed for their no-holds-barred fearlessness inside the octagon, is the "no rules" style of MMA provoking fighters to behave badly? Do you think there is something about MMA fighting that drives people to act out?
