Coach for “The Ultimate Fighter” season fourteen, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller (24-8) was highly criticized for his poor performance against opposing coach Michael Bisping at the TUF 14 Finale earlier this month. Bisping would earn a third round TKO finish over a sloppy and exhausted ‘Mayhem’ in Las Vegas.
UFC president Dana White called it “the worst standup I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen worse standup.”
Miller has been relatively quite since that fight but has now responded to his critics and fans. In his latest post on his website (mayhemmiller.com), ‘Mayhem’ takes responsibility for the “colossal failure” saying he is now in Holland working on his kickboxing.
Dana White was right. He made some disparaging comments about my performance, and I agree with him. I displayed the worst of everything that night in the octagon. I was tense in round one and I locked up after that. I didn’t perform to my potential, and I take full responsibility for it. That wasn’t a UFC caliber performance, and I’m not happy about it- I won’t, however, write a worthless diatribe on myself, because that is not constructive. I elect instead to take this misstep and make something positive out of it…
I made a lot of mistakes in this story- during the camp, during the fight- but the key to living life is learning from your mistakes and making positive change. I feel very positive right now, and I hope you feel the same way, I would be absolutely nothing without persistence and positive thinking, and if there is anything i want you to take from my blog it is that mentality. I will continue on this amazing journey, looking to make the most epic stories that I can.
Currently I’m in Holland, working on my kickboxing with Siyar Badaharzada (@siyarthekiller) and one of the greatest MMA trainers in the world, Martijn De Jong (@martijndej) as well as teaching here in Europe.

Better late then never right?
On Tuesday morning, the Ultimate Fighting Championship named two of it’s most popular Brazilian middleweights to the coaching positions of the first international “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil, UFC president named former rivals Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort and Wanderlei ‘The Axe Murderer’ Silva as coaches for “TUF” Brazil which will premier in March and end sometime in June.
“We could not be more excited about this,” said UFC President Dana White of the show, which premieres on Globo TV on March 25, with the finale taking place in June. “I think this show is gonna be a smash hit in Brazil.”
Middleweights Belfort and Silva first met over 13 years ago at UFC Brazil on October 16, 1998. Belfort won that night via first round TKO, and the two have since gone on to great success, Belfort winning the UFC light heavyweight title and Silva winning the PRIDE middleweight crown. Now the two icons will lead their countrymen as they battle to earn a UFC contract.
“I’m just focusing on this fight,” said Belfort, who faces Anthony Johnson at UFC 142 on January 14th before meeting Silva sometime later in 2012. “But it’s a great honor to fight Wanderlei again. I see it as a new fight and not as a rematch.”
“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” said Silva, nearly a month removed from his stirring stoppage of Cung Le at UFC 139. “I knew one day we would face each other again, and the time is here. This is one of the biggest rematches of all MMA and I’m very happy to give this to all of my fans.”
Belfort is already scheduled to face Anthony Johnson next month in Brazil at UFC 142, so a bout between ‘The Phenom’ and Silva will likely not take place at the “TUF” Brazil Finale, instead it will likely headline another event later in the year.
