A bumbling professional fighter facing life in jail for importing methamphetamine was caught after a series of rookie errors.
Jacob Heun, 33, was nicknamed 'The Honey Bear' as a professional fighter in mixed martial arts when he was busted importing 801 grams of the deadly drug ice.
The American-born fighter had been earning $100,000 a year cracking skulls in the UFC Octagon and dating Danae Barwick - the daughter of former Collingwood AFL premiership hero Doug Barwick - when he flushed his life down the toilet.
'Bad at life, good at fighting,' had been Heun's credo when Federal Police pounced on him in September last year.

A package of meth labelled 'bath gel and cologne' had busted open in transit from France and alerted Border Force officers.
The package had been addressed to Heun's old apartment and he was quickly found lurking about the area.
A search of his phone revealed a treasure trove of illegal activity, including alleged drug trafficking with Ms Barwick, the court was told.
She has not been charged with any offences in Victoria.
Heun claimed he was simply paid $1,000 to pick up the package, which in another blunder weighed a little over a statutory amount that would have placed the offence into a less serious category.
Heun on Thursday pleaded guilty to the importation of a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug and a second charge of trafficking cocaine.
