The UFC “Just Bleed” Guy in Prison ’til 2012
By Brandt DeLorenzo on Sep 25, 2008
That’s right, the very same guy who has graced MMA forums and blogs for years has finally been identified. MMA-Extreme has more images of the “Just Bleed” guy during and before/after the event. You can also see him in the center of this image from the MMA-Extreme article.
The UFC Just Bleed guy has become an internet legend. To hell with that, he is a legend of MMA. Does he know about his fame? I don’t know… but thanks to Joe Nameth on the UG, we have more pictures of the Just Bleed guy, and his name is James Ladner. Unfortunately, homeboy is locked up until 2012 in a Mississippi prison for receiving stolen property.
Does James Ladner even know that he’s been an internet celebrity for years? Probably not. Maybe he’s allowed internet access as prison and he’ll finally see all of the commotion he has caused.
After the jump is the animated gif for those who have yet to witness the awesome of the “Just Bleed” guy.

I love this GIF.
How do you send a guy to prison for four years for receiving stolen property? Was it a fighter plane or something? People have done less time for manslaughter.
The “Tap Out” guy was probably his lawyer.
Brandt, when I read that, I laughed my ass off.
I read somewhere it was a tractor or some form of farm equipment. I’m not kidding lol
Also – notice the dude behind him to the right smoking the fatty
That doesn’t surprise me, haha.
3 years for “receiving” stolen property!?!
This is guy is more important to MMA than most MMA blogs and websites.
HE IS Mixed Martial Arts!! He’s greater than Fedor!
^Mattio, YES, some people served less time for manslaughter, rape and attempted murder. If Missouri is a decent state he will serve less than 75% of his sentence.
Damn, I love that animated .gif!!!
So why the fuck is he the shit?
Because of just how ridiculous he is. He and a few friends wrote “ufc”, “just bleed” and “tap out” on their bodies and went shirtless to an early UFC event. Ever since then, he has maintained celebrity status on the MMA side of the internet.
[...] Shockingly, he’s in prison through 2012. [...]
James is doing good, he has good freinds and God in his life. Love Little,Vickie
i like how the guy behind him is smoking a joint
There is a James Ladner in MS prison for 8 years, but he’s black…
