There’s a reason fans didn’t see Jason “Mayhem” Miller vs. Nick Diaz or
Miller vs. Tim Kennedy, and it has nothing to do with weight or
scheduling.
According to Diaz’s trainer Cesar Gracie, the move of “Mayhem” from Strikeforce
to the UFC was based in part on Showtime’s disinterest in putting him
on the premium-cable channel.
“After the Nashville fight, Showtime just didn’t want ‘Mayhem’ any
more,” Gracie on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
