Let’s start with what we know: 1) Jason “Mayhem” Miller really wants to fight Nick Diaz, so much so that he went to the trouble of having a special t-shirt made for the occasion. 2) Both men were central participants in a well-publicized post-fight brawl on CBS back in April. 3) Diaz will be fighting someone in a Strikeforce event on October 9. 4) Miller’s calendar is clear right about then.
If you’re like me, you did the math on all that and arrived at one answer: “Mayhem” Miller and Nick Diaz should fight each other at Strikeforce’s October 9 event. Case closed, right?
Not so fast, apparently. Here it is late August and Miller insists he’s not been offered a fight with Diaz, nor does he expect that Diaz will agree to fight him at all, despite Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker’s previous assurances that the fight would happen within “eight months to a year.”
