I know it's TMZ, but I feel like this is worth posting anyway.. This guy is a serious mental case and needs to be in some sort of institution.

"UFC Prez Dana White is on the receiving end of some terrifying death threats from an ex-MMA fighter who says he plans to "shoot [Dana] right in the head" -- and now cops are on the case.
It's unclear what started the beef, but the wannabe fighter -- Dan Quinn -- has gone off the hinges, leaving voicemail messages threatening to blow up Dana's offices and put a bullet in the back of his head.
Quinn's fighting career spanned nine years from 2001-2010. He never fought in the UFC, but did face off against a couple of future UFC fighters, including 2004 heavyweight champ Frank Mir (Quinn got beat).
Quinn has made rambling threats against White for several years on YouTube, but they escalated recently after Quinn somehow got Dana's private work number and left chilling messages."
"In the voicemails, obtained by TMZ, the delusional Quinn accuses White of sending in henchmen to kill him, claiming, "I just want you to know, since you're bringing that to me, you should be worried about your own safety, bitch."
Quinn adds, "I'm gonna shoot you right in the head motherf**ker."
The voicemails get even weirder -- one from a guy (presumably Quinn) speaking in an Irish accent and calling himself "Paddy O'Neill." The "Irish" interloper then makes several threats.
We're told White has never met or spoken with Quinn -- sources say the Prez never ever heard of the dude until last week, when the voicemail threats got crazy.
White's security team turned the voicemails over to the Vegas PD, which is currently investigating.
Calls to Dan Quinn were not returned."
There is a very large branch of religion (multiple ones from different countries) that believe prayer can heal cancer. Just recently a family did not take their kid into the hospital as they felt God would cure him (I believe it was appendicitis or something), well God did not cure him, and he died. There's also a branch of people who think love/certain plants can cure you, and all you need to do is give into the light of the world (this also doesn't cure you, but they think it does).He mentions that he was accused of **** in college. God has told him that he is an Angel named Maitreya, he mixes something called stevia with water to create pure h20 which "explodes into a soup" he calls this "cold fission". Stevia has made him the toughest man on the planet and it can heal cancer and heal all diseases.
"Dan threw his son down the stairs to prove stevia has magic power and compared it to the war in Iraq. The power of stevia brought his nearly-dead cat back to life. He has an imaginary friendship/partnership with Mark Brannon (Mel Gibson from Tequila Sunrise) and he thinks the character from the Bad Boy clothing line was modeled after him because he beat up 5 guys at a bar one time."
Call it what you will.
Believe it or not, the poster you were replying to wasn't actually referencing any religions or defending them... but rather this one eccentric individual....but any excuse to spew your usual pseudo-intellectual bullshit, eh?Religious people make death threats all the time, in fact they killed man for drawing one of their prophets a few years back. Have you ever heard of the crusades? Religion and religious branches are one of the leading causes of war in the world, so don't say because this guy makes a death threat, that he's worse - he's really not, unlike religion he has yet to kill someone (or millions, in religion's case).
He probably doesn't train much anymore...I doubt he's super tough in a fight at this point...relatively speaking of course.

Oh and by the way, a poll of 1,000 people of dubious background does not equate to the beliefs of over 300 million people.....obviously.
Factually incorrect. We are debating if Christian's are worse/equal/better than this guy (or religious people in general). Please try again. :thumbsup:yeah your a little off base there. of course some people believe it literally but that is usually the people with less understanding of logic/science.. and even if they do believe it literally, that is what makes them have faith in god.. because they believe that he can do extraordinary things.
this is :thumbsup:. most christians actually believe in the bible for the message and understand it was written by man and in a time where there was less understanding of the world. still, maybe those people of old times felt a connection to a spiritual source? not everyone does and that is understandable. but dont generalize. i dont get how you can classify this guy in the same bracket...
anyway back on topic.. dude is violent, admitted to being a drug addict, rants about the same shit and threatened to kill somebody multiple times. is it gonna take him actually killing someone to convince u he is a little bit off the ******* rocker?
i just dont think your system of judgement is very smart. if there are people like this in your life that i suggest you not associate with them.
When he was younger he wasn't that bad.. Could have a decent record and we could have seen him in the UFC had he been a little luckier.After three years away from fighting sports, Quinn decided to try his hand in mixed martial arts. In his second fight, he lost to future UFC World Heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
Other notable bouts Quinn had was his fight against UFC star Jason Lambert, in which Lambert avoided engagement and won via decision, and a fight against K1 striker Carter Williams, who controversially defeated Quinn by TKO via illegal low kick.[3] Although he was locked deep in a keylock, Quinn refused to submit against Dan Molina, ultimately forcing the ref to end the fight in favor of Molina.[4] Quinn then went on hiatus from MMA for four years.
In his return fight, Quinn KO'd Muay Thai/X-Arm fighter Bond Lapua, who outweighed him by fifty pounds
You mean like the people who say that God physically talks to them, and that they can physically and mentally "feel" God, the ones who say they "see" god, not in trees and the lovely sunset, but literally SEE God? They are as delusional as this guy, which as I said, is pretty normal given what strange things so many people believe (be it religious or otherwise).There's a reason most people are calling a spade a spade here, and not going off into side tangents about morality and other nonsense.
Mainly because it's a fairly clear-cut case...one can not be delusional about something that speculative...the comparisons to religion are laughable at best. Trying too hard.
Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality, usually including false beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations).
