It’s no secret that Jason “Mayhem” Miller came dangerously close to being fired after his poor effort against Michael Bisping in December. I was the camera operator when Dana White told Heavy’s Megan Olivi that he wasn’t sure if Miller would get another chance in the company.
It was apparent to us, standing there in White’s suite at the Palms Casino Resort, that Miller was on the cusp of losing his job after one fight back in the company and a great season of The Ultimate Fighter.
Thankfully, Miller has been given a reprieve. But he’ll still find his back up against the wall when he faces C.B. Dolloway at UFC 146. A loss by either man will likely send them packing from the company. According to Miller, who appeared last night on Spike TV’s MMA Uncensored Live, the UFC won’t even need to fire him if he loses to Dolloway. He’ll quit.
I’m on my own chopping block. If I lose to him, I’m quitting. I don’t even deserve to be in there. There’s not an easy fight in the UFC. He doesn’t deserve to be in there with me, and I’ll prove it. I’ll prove it in under a round, because…I tend to get tired in the second round. We’re both in a similar spot in our career I guess. We’re both on the chopping block. That’s fine. I’m really happy with that.
It’d be quite unfortunate to see Miller released from the UFC after just two fights. But if he puts on the kind of stinker performance he did against Bisping, it would be warranted.
