While former Strikeforce middleweight contender and Bully Beatdown host Jason “Mayhem” Miller will no doubt be fighting for his job at UFC146, that didn’t stop him from calling out one of the top 185-pound fighters in the world. Mayhem took a shot at Chael Sonnen early Monday morning regarding a tweet “Uncle Chael” wrote about […]

There is no truly no place on the Internet more hate stricken than that of the Twittersphere, other than Sputnikmusic or well…here, of course. I’ll be honest, I’ve had a Twitter account for a few months now and I’m still not truly sure as to what its purpose on this world is. Do I care if Kourtney Kardashian is currently releasing the contents of her latest trip to Moe’s in the second floor bathroom of a Versace outlet? Not really, but apparently there are nearly six million people on this planet that need to be made aware of this disturbing fact, right down to how many pieces of corn managed to find their way into the bowl. But I digress.
Perhaps the most ironic aspect of Twitter, at least in my mind, is its ability to make celebrities willingly trade away the last bit of privacy they so desperately ask for when bombarded by the media. In less than 150 characters, these public figures can run their names into the ground, yet even the UFC encourages it, handing out monetary awards for “creativity” and “growth percentage” for this “social” media network. Where, in times past, people wrote down their thoughts in journals, diaries, or simply let a thought go, nowadays everyone from Miguel Torres to King Mo have significantly screwed themselves by using this device as a platform to express their innermost feelings for the world to see, somehow unaware that it would bite them in the ass almost immediately. Such is the case for Jason “Mayhem” Miller.
@mayhemmiller Chael berating someone on their test level is like me making fun of someone’s bad haircut.
Check out Sonnen’s end all response after the jump.

@sonnench MayHem: Due to time constraints I am currently confining my Twitter wars to active, relevant, fighters ONLY. Buy a T-shirt on your way out.
I may be new to the Twittersphere, but I believe the hashtag I’m looking for here is #BOOMHeadshot.
And though Miller would respond with, “don’t worry-you’re a beatdown away from obscurity. I’ll be happy to beat your head in-that’s if it’s not still on a pike in Rio,” the damage was clearly done. Even though I am normally quick to back Miller up in most cases, I think the winner of this one is Mr. Sonnen by a factor of about a fucking thousand. Considering Miller was nearly beaten into obscurity by Michael Bisping following a shitstorm of trash talk, his response here is less a clever comeback and more a reminder of all the money he cost me at the TUF 14 Finale. And God forbid he isn’t able to get past C.B. Dolloway on May 26th, or he will literally mirror the statement he just made.
And with that, yet another case of pointless pseudo-celebrity verbal warfare has come to a close. Miller has now been defeated by Sonnen in both the cyber ring and the caged one. Meanwhile, Mark Hunt is quietly using the social device for it’s only positive purpose, Twitter-bombing your way into a title shot. God bless America.

As we all know by now, yesterday was not a good day for UFC President Dana White. Thankfully, The Dana was able to spin the potential UFC 146 disaster into twitter gold last night, with a little help from comedian/actor/swimsuit improverOlivia Munn.
“Me and my buddy @Oliviamunn are having a blast 2 nite no matter how shitty my day was!!!!!!!” Dana tweeted around midnight.
And from the above photo, it appeared that White and Munn did indeed imbibe merrily. Some of our other favorite tweets from Dana, Olivia, and their followers are below:

Love him or hate him, Dana White is a boss. If you were him, nation, who would you choose to drown your sorrows with?

When he took to his Twitter page earlier this week to blast the UFC, many of us assumed he was just venting after a difficult loss to Ryan Bader at UFC 144. Well, Rampage is still venting, except now he’s asking for his release from the UFC. In a bizarre twist to an already strange situation, Rampage blames the UFC for the reason he’s lost his desire to fight. And he implies that the desire to keep fighting will somehow come back to him once he walks away from the biggest stage in MMA.
And if you thought that that was strange, consider his next two tweets, both of which in response to fans’ reactions to his initial announcement:

If by “better” we mean “more winnable”, then sure. Rampage could certainly smash lesser competition with a lot less resistance than he’s facing in the UFC. But in terms of interesting fights that fans will pay to watch, don’t bother looking for them.
Not that it matters- If Rampage thinks the UFC is cheap, just wait until he sees what the minor league promotions offer their fighters.
– “I will fight who ever they put n front of me,I always have,but it will b my last fight n the ufc,I have other things on my mind”
– “I didn’t say I would b done fighting,I just said I’m not fighting 4 the UFC,(u fight cheap)I said I have other things on my mind (big head)”
– “@VWAssassin: @Rampage4real your leaving the UFC?” Y should I stay? I don’t need them or anybody else negative dealing with my carrie”
– “@DrjftGaming: @Rampage4real Will you still do MMA, or is this your last MMA fight period?” Guys learn how 2 read! MMA ok UFC no ok after”
– “Sorry guys just been going threw a lot n I was trying 2 stay positive last night,n it worked,so I’m just gonna start over! U helped me!”
– “I know 1 place I’m not going back 2! I’m going 2 b with my wife n kids n sin no more! Just ask 4 forgiveness! #new I’d win this 1!”
– “I need help with positive energy once again,u can tell things aint right,u helped me last night! I love u all,wish I could say what’s up”
Are we looking at the early stages of another post-loss crackup? That last tweet — sent at 5:40 a.m. PT — suggests that ‘Page may be dealing with some issues beyond a money dispute with the UFC. (Although really, mocking the UFC as “u fight cheap” is never a good idea, especially when you’re one of the promotion’s highest paid stars.) And “sin no more”? Oh boy. When Rampage starts to get all religious, it’s probably a good idea to stay off the roads for a while. If Jackson doesn’t fall in line quick, the UFC might not even let him have one more fight before he jumps ship.
P.S.: “Guys learn how 2 read! MMA ok UFC no ok after” is an early front-runner for insane MMA tweet of the year.
