In a way, we picked a great event to kick off our semi-recurring Snapchat contests, since most of you spent UFC 174 bored off your asses and looking for a way to pass the time. As promised, we’re giving away packs of Topps’ UFC Knockout 2014 cards to the best three snaps sent to cagepotatomma during the fights…
First place:girafarig, who sent us some amazing illustrations of the night’s winners, laid on top of her own face/body. Damn gurl, you killed it. We’re going to send you two packs of Knockout cards for your efforts. In fact, I’d like to post all of girafarig’s entries before we go any further…

Great work, gang. I will message all three of you with instructions on how to claim your prize.
DISCLAIMER: galliesp and Smokey5000 also sent in amazing snaps that were probably prize-worthy, but I wasn’t able to screencap ‘em before they expired. I’m still getting the hang of this thing, guys. But in the future, please set the expiration time for like 20 seconds, at least.
As you might be aware, CagePotato recently started an official Snapchat account — cagepotatomma — where our loyal fans have been spamming us with weird drawings and photos of their televisions. And yes, the occasional blurry photo of male genitalia, but whaddya gonna do.
So here’s what I propose: During UFC 174: Johnson vs. Bagautinov this Saturday, I’d like all you Snapchatters out there to send us your immediate photo-reactions to any of the fights that take place. (Not videos, because we can’t share those.) We will re-post the best ones early next week, and award the top three entries a mini-box of UFC Knockout 2014 Trading Cards from Topps, which all contain an autographed card or a piece of memorabilia, and don’t even hit stores until June 25th.
Keep in mind that any photos you send us via Snapchat may be posted on our website/Facebook page/whatever, so please don’t send us anything you’ll regret later. Any other questions, let us know in the comments section or shoot ’em to us on twitter. To help spur your imagination, we leave you with a random sampling of photos that our fans have already sent us, which continue after the jump. Come back to CagePotato tomorrow night for our liveblog of UFC 174, and happy snapping!

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.
