Unless your a die hard fight fan the only place you MIGHT of seen Jason Miller, aka Mayhem Miller was in the MTV series "Bully Beatdown" a show were if you got a bully you could have him beat down by a professional mma fighter on national tv. He's well known for his insane entrances but very much under rated or I'd say unappreciated as a fighter.
Mayhem is coming off a two fight win streak, his last defeat came from recent Welterweight #1 contender Jake Shields. The last time he fought was in September of 2010 against Kazushi Sakuraba in Dream 16 were he won by submission. However this isn't his first time competing in the octagon, he fought GSP in 2005 at UFC 52. GSP dominated almost the entire fight, Mayhem lost by Unanimous Decision. He is set to make his return to the octagon at UFC 132 against Aaron Simpson. Simpson has a strong wrestling base and was a 2 time D1 All American at Arizona State, he lost 2 out of his last 3 against Chris Leben and Mark Munoz and a recent win against Mario Miranda last march.
Despite the fact that Mayhem's entrances stand out more than his fights to most mma fans, he is a truly solid fighter and as tough as they come. His up and coming bout against Aaron Simpson should be a complete show of his crafty grappling and superior jiu jitsu. I see him out wrestling Simpson and locking in a choke with no trouble. The Middle Weight Division in the UFC might be tough for Mayhem with the champ Anderson Silva in complete dominance of the division, but with a great fighter like him fighting in the UFC lets look forward to some awesome fights against fighters like Chael Sonnen, Michael Bisbing, Vitor Belfort, Mark Munoz or Chris Leben, all have the makings for incredible fights.
