Jason “Mayhem” Miller’s second stint in the UFC was like a passing daydream.
The flamboyant MMA star was cut from the promotion shortly after losing his second consecutive bout to C.B. Dolloway at UFC 146 on Saturday night.
Cardio issues have plagued Miller since his UFC return. Despite his alluring personality, Miller has wilted under the spotlight in back-to-back outings.
His performances alone are grounds for dismissal, but UFC president Dana White stated that Miller was released for an undisclosed incident that happened backstage.
“Mayhem’s done. He’s gone,” White told reporters at the post-fight press conference. “[The incident] was just some bulls–t that I don’t want to talk about. We’re on a crazy string here of dumb bulls–t.”
“When you get embarrassed the way he did against Michael Bisping, then you show up in the pink whatever that thing was, I’m not into that stuff. It’s not my thing. I guess I don’t really care if guys do it because you see it at weigh-ins all the time. Just take this thing serious. If you want to be a clown do that stuff on your reality show.”
Throughout his MMA career, Miller has never been one to shy away from the spotlight. He has provided fans with plenty of lasting memories.
Character is a quality that is rare in existence but deeply embraced by the combat world. Miller’s outlandish style and entertaining personality even landed him a hosting job on MTV’s Bully Beatdown.
As the curtains close on his UFC career, we take this time to remember the most memorable moments of Miller’s career.
