Jason “Mayhem” Miller will be making his UFC return on Sat. December 3rd against the much despised, Michael Bisping.
Bisping is the betting favorite and is considered the higher ranked fighter given his body of work.
He’s coming off three-straight wins with his last loss coming by way of decision in which fans could make a case that it should’ve gone to the Brit’s way.
“Mayhem,” meanwhile, has won two in a row, but his wins were against some questionable competition and occurred over a year ago.
The last time we saw Miller against an elite-level fighter was his bout against Jake Shields and although he lost the decision, he won over a lot of fans with his toughness and even managed to nearly submit Shields.
Although Bisping should be and is the odds-makers favorite, he certainly isn’t the fan favorite.
In this weigh-in video provided by MMAfighting.com, Bisping expresses his content for the fans by simply saying he “doesn’t give a **** about getting love.”
As loud as the boos for Bisping were, the cheers may have been even louder for “Mayhem” when he made his way out.
“Mayhem” has always been in the MMA spotlight even though he hasn’t always been a top-level fighter. He has a very outgoing personality and is always willing to crack a joke to lighten the mood.
Regardless if he has any fan backing, Bisping is still as confident as ever for his bout and about the final outcome, predicting he will “put Mayhem in a hospital.”
Given Bisping’s little “pitter-pat” punching style, I really don’t believe “Mayhem” will be needing to check out of a hospital after their bout for anything other than the routine checkup.
“Mayhem” has always had fans behind him and more so in this fight given his opponent. Now is the time to not only ascend to the top of the 185-pound division, but squash everyone’s hated villain.
