Jason “Mayhem” Miller, one of MMA‘s most recognizable and polarizing stars, looks to bring his own brand of comedy and fighting experience to the Ultimate Fighter reality show.
Dropping his bout with Aaron Simpson to coach the show’s 14th season opposite Michael Bisbing, Miller tells UFC.com that “it’s about time” he was made a coach.
A veteran of reality television and the cage, Miller states in the video profile that, “If there are two things I’m good at, it’s beating up people and saying moderately funny things on cable television.”
The video showcases Miller’s coaching ability, with him instructing fellow UFC fighters Mark Muñoz and Krzysztof Sosynski as well as Olympic Judo gold medalist turned MMA fighter Satoshi Ishii.
Miller uncharacteristically gets a bit serious in the video saying people discount him due to his nonchalant attitude but that he’s dedicated his life to MMA and hopes “to help some artists improve their art” as coach on the show.
“Every practice is going to be focused on getting the guys better,” Miller states. “I really care, you know? I give a chicken salad about these guys I really do,” he goes on, recalling the “chicken s***” remarks made by Brock Lesnar during his stint as coach.
Miller ends the video by promising to turn the show “on its head.”
The 14th season will feature bantamweight and featherweight fighters with the finale, featuring the coaches bout between Miller and Bisbing, scheduled for December 3.
