All right, enough. Enough about UFC 167. Enough with all this GSP he-said, she-said nonsense. It’s time once again for some real news. In the wake of groundbreaking revelations that UFC veteran Scott Smith would participate in an honest-to-goodness, relatively legitimate-seeming MMA tag-team match this Saturday, it got us here in the Bleacher Report newsroom to […]

Georges St-Pierre’s head trainer, Firas Zahabi, said Monday that he wanted to see his star pupil return to the cage, assuming the UFC welterweight champion could resolve the unspecified “issues” that caused the champ to semi-retire from MMA after UFC 167. “I would love to see him fight again,” Zahabi said Monday on The MMA […]

Undoubtedly, one of the best bases to have going into MMA, if not the best base, is amateur wrestling. Some of the best fighters in the world were amateur wrestlers at one point, whether you’re talking about Jon Jones, Chris Weidman or Cain Velasquez.

If you ask any one fan which martial art was key in the explosion of MMA, most would point to Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It was Royce Gracie’s domination at UFC 1 that caused the world to go into a manhunt for BJJ gyms in the nearby areas. These days, it’s obvious that you need to be […]

Yesterday, we regretfully informed you that Jason “Mayhem” Miller had been arrested for the third time in the past 30 days for violating a “stay away” order related to his ongoing domesticviolencecharges. When we heard the news, we figured that Miller might have showed up naked to the victim’s house and started flinging his feces at the doorbell. You know, something wacky like that.
But the truth is much less dramatic. In fact, Mayhem’s violation of the protective order was so minor and non-hostile that we kind of feel bad he got arrested for it. SciFighting.com passes along the details:
Jason Miller was arrested at approximately 3:15 PM PST [Monday] at the conclusion of his first hearing in an ongoing domestic violence case in Southern California. He was taken into custody by the Orange County Sherif’s Department after the alleged victim revealed a snapchat video to the court of him saying “I love you.” Since snapchat messages are designed to disappear from the recipient’s phone seconds after viewing them the alleged victim waited until the hearing to open the message in front of the district attorney to bolster the veracity of her claims. Unfortunately for Mr. Miller although the contents of the message were completely benign in nature, under the provisions of the protective order, any communications from Mr. Miller to the alleged victim are strictly prohibited. The judge deemed Mr. Miller in violation of the protective order and as a result the DA asked that the bond amount be raised an additional $15 thousand, however Judge Andre Manssourian, apparently wishing to drive a point home with Mr. Miller, ordered the bail be set at $200 thousand.

Mayhem posted bail at approximately 10:40 PM [Monday] night and was set to attend a second hearing this morning. Upon arriving at the court house our field reporters were informed that the hearing date had been moved to October 10th to allow Mr. Miller time to secure private counsel after he had opted to release his public defender from her duties.
If I had to venture a guess, I’d say that Miller winds up hiring himself as his lawyer, cross-examines his girlfriend on the stand (“ISN’T IT TRUE THAT WE’RE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER? ISN’T IT TRUE??”), wins her back, and brings the jury to tears with a rousing closing argument about the need for love and understanding. He will be released a free man, and will immediately be arrested again for urinating on somebody.
Again, that’s just conjecture coming from someone whose only legal experience is getting arrested in 2006 for stalking Mariska Hargitay. My point is, I have faith in our legal system, and I’m sure Mayhem is going to be just fine, because good guys always win.
Anthony Johnson almost escaped his unanimous decision victory over Andrei Arlovski unscathed at WSOF 3 back on March 23. Unfortunately, he would break his right hand in the very last seconds of his heavyweight debut. “In exactly the last 12 seconds of the fight I broke it,” Johnson told Bleacher Report recently. “It was a […]
