Newer fans of mixed martial arts know Jason “Mayhem” Miller as the goofy guy who hosts Bully Beatdown, not as a bully himself. Even when Miller instigated a brawl at the end of Strikeforce’s last CBS show, it came across more like a prank gone bad than an attempt to pick a fight. And in the clip above, Miller decries Nick Diaz for making MMA fighters look like “thugs.”
But it wasn’t that long ago that Miller had a reputation as one of the thugs in MMA. He was placed on probation for beating someone up in a bar and later charged (and acquitted) with first-degree burglary. Miller doesn’t talk about that part of his past very often, but he opens up about it to Michael Schiavello in an interview that will air on HDNet Friday night.
