"Mayhem" Miller Post-Fight Brawl, Embarrasses the MMA Industry

What’s going on with certain fighters within the MMA? Will we all soon learn that Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is staged like Wrestling? Has Dana White become the 21st century Vince McMahon? The last two weeks within the sport tends to demonstrate one of many issues; poor sportsmanship, “fixed” matches and/or staged post fight interviews. What will happen next………???

During UFC 112 Anderson Silva demonstrated no respect for Maia, showing off and using poor judgment with old boxing antics! Last night’s Strikeforce CBS Special delivered another display of disrespect to the sport; Jason “Mayhem” Miller’s interruption of Shields-Henderson post fight main event interview erupted into a wild brawl in the cage. Mayhem got in Shields' face, then Shields pushed him, so Diaz jumped in beat the hell out of Mayhem while Gus Johnson, after bizarrely trying to excuse the spectacle as a minor "boys will be boys" moment, nearly had an aneurysm screaming "Gentleman, please! We are on national television!"

As a student of Mixed Martial Arts, a devoted fan of UFC and other affiliations, I’m seriously rethinking my loyalty to the sport. What drove me to the sport, respect, structure, discipline and true sportsmanship have all but disappeared within the last 8 days! For us diehard fans, we all need to collectively take a stance against any claim of “sports entertainment,” I for one want the unity of sportsmanship and competitiveness from the fighters! If I wanted mediocre sports entertainment I would watch wrestling any night of the week or head to a local video store and rent the terrible boxing match of Holyfield and Tyson; you know the one where Tyson bites a piece of Holyfield’s ear off?….

I state with conviction, I better soon see MMA events go back to what built the sports or I will retreat to watching CNN news and find out which big name celebrity has their spouse cheating on them for my sports entertainment fix!

P.S. Jason “Mayhem” Miller, I did have respect for you as a fighter and how you carried yourself, even though you had entertainer personality. You had a huge following and people adored you for your MTV “Bully Beatdown” fulfillment. Now, you’re just some silly ass, red hair dyed has been fighter that got BEATDOWN on national television for acting a fool! I bet you feel like the Jimmy Heart of the MMA World?
