Cage fighter 'ripped out heart of training partner'
A US cage fighter ripped out the heart of his training partner while he was still alive after becoming convinced he was possessed by the devil.


Jarrod Wyatt also cut out his friend's tongue and ripped off most of his face in a brutal assault that police said looked like a scene from a horror film.

They found the 26 year old standing naked over his friend's body with body parts, including an eyeball, strewn around the blood splattered room.

Wyatt told police he had drunk a cup of tea spiked with hallucinogenic mushrooms and became convinced his close friend Taylor Powell was possessed.

According to an autopsy Powell,21, bled to death after his heart was ripped out.

The coroner said Powell had been alive when the organ was ripped out after his chest had been sliced open with a knife.

Wyatt told the police he thrown the heart into a fire along with other organs that he had removed from the body.

He told investigators he cooked the body parts because he was fearful Powell was still alive and he "needed to stop the Devil."

Police had been called to the grisly scene after a third friend had witnessed a sudden mood change in Wyatt after they had all ingested wild mushroom tea.

Justin Davis told police he returned to the flat in Klamath, California, to find Wyatt naked and covered from head to toe in blood.

He noticed an eyeball lying in the middle of the floor and saw Powell's mutilated body.

A lawyer representing Wyatt has claimed the wild mushrooms caused him to act in such a violent way and had not control over his actions "My client was trying to silence the devil," said James Fallman.

"I think he was having a psychotic fit based on the mushrooms he had."

Wyatt has been charged with first degree murder and torture.

Prosecutors added the torture charge as Powell was still alive when his heart was removed.

it's from yesterdays telegraph .. shocked they say cage fighting, dooesnt gareth davies write for them ?

first of all .. the fact he is a "cage fighter" has nothing to do with this, if it was an accountant or a bin man, they wouldnt make it a headline .. they just add to the barbaric idea of mma being a sport for loco folk ..

dude says he was spiked, and if he wasnt, then he was just plain old kkkkrrazy

it's probably Three K's in that KKKrazy there Jeevan, afterall those god worshipping white trash fucks that have adopted the sport in many ways are just plain old crazy, nothing more nothing less.

if it wasn't for MMA he probably would of done this shit ten years ago and everyone would of blamed it on some kid who played GTA-3 15hrs aday....

Remember kiddies: never tell anybody you train

Neither shrooms or fighting had anything to do with that, he was obviously a complete psycho...

His Mother is his Sister

Apart from the fact Im shocked after reading that!!! (F*********K MEEEEEEEEEE!!!)

There was no need to say he was a "Cage Fighter" hate that! He was a "MMA Fighter" but ne way....

And... Shrooms boys are not good, As he found out after realising he had just butchered his best mate.

Nothing to do with his training and hobbies, Would they of said:

" A keen Gardner from the US ripped out the heart of his Gardening Partner..."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Foookin nuts...
The guy was obviously a bit of a fruit loop prior to the shrooms to be thinkin stuff like that I'd imagine.
Takes somethin else to mutilate your best mate though.
I doubt the sport will take a dent from it though as a whole, maybe just a few saddo do-gooders with nothin better to do kicking up a stink.
Still not good for the image however. Neither is "Cage Fighter" though, hate that...

Yeah, pretty much what's already been said. This wasn't MMA-related, at all. The guy was just pure fucking nuts. Shame, really.

Unless you're a woman who wants to hang wit teh boys.
I shout it out loud randomly like there's no tomorrow. Even though I don't train, but it's served me well so far. I'm feared in three London councils, true story
