Okay, I’ll admit that Weston Cage is quickly becoming a pet fascination of mine, and I’m not proud of this fact. Still, it seemed odd today that the UFC President Dana White gave a statement to TMZ that he will never allow Weston Cage in the ring. It turns out that Weston, in addition to being a totally hardcore goth rocker and spoiled son of a movie star, was training for his own personal goal to fight Kimbo Slice in the ring. This would sort of explain why Weston appears to be obsessed with roundhouse kicks, which have become part of his shtick after flying into a physical rage at his personal trainer and getting himself hospitalized for a mental evaluation. (Incidentally, the trainer, Kevin Villegas, did file a restraining order against Weston after the roundhouse incident, claiming that Weston made “threats of violence” against Villegas’ family.)

In the aftermath, Weston has also shown off his inaccurate roundhouse and shaved head to the paps. The funny thing is that, if Weston was planning on using this move in the ring, he would have gone down in a heartbeat. Roundhouses are very showy and look rather impressive when done correctly, but they’re also a move that opponents can sense coming and counteract before the kick even arrives at its destination.

Back to the point though — why would the UFC President issue a statement banning Weston from the ring? Well, it turns out that Weston was arrested again yesterday on new felony domestic violence charges:

Weston Cage was arrested early this morning by LAPD for felony domestic violence … for the second time in a MONTH, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Weston was arrested at 5AM in Hollywood — and then taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for cuts … and we’re told, cops believe the injuries were self-inflicted.

TMZ spoke with the mother of Weston’s wife Nikki Williams — who tells us, “Nikki is safe and away from him.”

It’s the second time in a month Weston’s been popped for domestic violence — except last time, Nikki was also arrested … after allegedly going after Weston with a bottle.

According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s website, Weston is still in custody on $50,000 bail.

So if Nikki was not arrested and police believe that Weston’s wounds were self-inflicted, then that very well might have been the case last time when Weston was bailed out of jail (while Nikki still languished inside) and ran around in front of the Los Angeles police department while showing off his bloody arm, which was allegedly the result of Nikki going after him with a broken bottle, to the paps.

However, even if Weston faked his own injuries during both of these domestic violence incidents, Nikki herself is no saint either, for she was arrested after threatening to jump off a balcony while drunk and pregnant. Of course, I’m hoping that she’s not really pregnant; but if she is, I really feel for their poor child. Weston’s state might be a product of rage issues, genetics, and growing up in the shadow of a very famous father, but any future child won’t have a chance in hell of even the bare minimum amount of safety in the care of Nikki and Weston.

Nikki and Weston together, in happier times (that is, 2010) and with a lot more hair:
