woot!!!
Well yea, now that Nick Diaz left MMA to box, there was nothing left for Mayhem in Strikeforce. He's a showman and a great fighter, he deserves the big stage! Good call Dana.
Not to mention, he's a bad ass. I'd love to see Mayhem vs Silva
i just came here to post this. It's awesome news, mayhem is the shit.
And so it begins!
Cmon man... I like Mayhem, I'd hate for him to be kiilled tho... lets give him realistic fights like Leben, Bisping, Akyama...etc.Quote:

The UFC has acquired the services of one of MMA’s most colorful personalities, popular middleweight veteran Jason “Mayhem” Miller.
Miller’s manager, Dr. Ryan Parsons, broke word of the fighter’s new multi-fight contract with the UFC Friday on MMAFighting.com. Shortly thereafter, “Mayhem” himself confirmed the news via Twitter.
“I now fight for the UFC,” Miller wrote. “I’d like to thank all the staff there as well as [UFC President] Dana White for this new partnership... Can’t wait to show my skills in the UFC’s octagon.”
According to the report from MMAFighting.com, Miller’s contract with former home Strikeforce recently expired, allowing him to negotiate a new deal with the UFC. The 30-year-old took on Jake Shields for the vacant Strikeforce middleweight title in November 2009, losing a five-round unanimous decision. Miller’s second and final bout with the promotion came in April 2010, when he notched a first-round technical knockout of Tim Stout before engaging in an infamous in-cage brawl with Shields and his Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu teammates.
Miller, who hosts the MTV reality series “Bully Beatdown,” was last seen in September submitting Japanese great Kazushi Sakuraba via arm-triangle choke at Dream 16 in Tokyo.
Details were not immediately available regarding when or against whom Miller will enter the UFC, but when he does, it will not be the California resident’s first trip inside the Octagon. In April 2005, Miller dropped a unanimous decision to current UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. Miller also once competed for the Zuffa-owned World Extreme Cagefighting, earning a unanimous nod over Hiromitsu Miura in May 2007.
from millers twitter:
I now fight for the @UFC. I'd like to thank all the staff there as well as @DanaWhite for this new partnership.
I hope a top 10, 205er calls him out.
This is awesome to see, mayhem always puts on a great show. Im pumped to see his return to the octagon.
I'm so excited to see Mayhem in the UFC. One of the best characters in the sport, and a pretty goddamn good fighter. There are quite a few interesting matchups for him. Can't wait to see who his first fight will be.

Cant wait Mayhem is out of his mind. Love watching that dude fight.
why do you think sonnen deserves to fight bisping?, he lost his title shot then got found out to be a criminal and may be facing serious prison time. bisping has been doing really well in all his recent fights and is close to his title shot, he would have to prove it by beating one or two top 10 guys. and i love mayhem, dont get me wrong but you cant just jump in near the top, hes gotta work his way up some and then we can watch him put on some sick fights :)
Theirs no way he would make 205 he walks around at like 196
Guys u know what this means? Bisping and miller tuf 14 coaches!!!!! This was all set up
Mayhem told dana white he would love to be a coach if sonnen couldnt do it. This would be so sick if this hppens.
What does being a criminal have to do with someones fighting abilities?Quote:

well if he wasnt facing serious charges then i wouldnt complain. but hes just surrounded by messy shit lately and until he gets everything sorted out he shouldnt really be fighting. for his sake as well. ive got no problem with the guy, its just annoying how many people keep acting like hes a top 5 middleweight or something, there are plenty others who should be going for their chance against silva.
well he is a top 5 mw he gave anderson his biggest challengeQuote:

there's now way mayhem will take a fight at welterweight, so gsp would have to have moved up to fight silva first or somthing.Quote:
