"Jason “Mayhem” Miller, 36, who last fought in 2016 when he missed weight for a fight in Italy by 21 pounds, pleaded guilty to domestic violence regarding charges with three different women between 2015 and 2017. Miller was charged with five counts of felony domestic violence in September as well as one felony count of vandalizing a girlfriend’s car and house according to TMZ. He also was charged with two misdemeanor violations for damaging two girlfriend’s cell phones when they attempted to call the police. He at first was fighting the charges, but reached a plea bargain agreement where he pled to corporal injury to a spouse/cohabitant and the other charges were dropped, and he wouldn’t have to serve time. He was sentenced to three years probation and given a four year suspended sentence. If he has another incident he’ll have to serve the four years. He had served 62 days in jail since being taken in. He also will be regularly tested for drugs and alcohol and a positive test would also result in a probation violation and serving time. "


He'll fail a test soon enough, sadly.

Sad shit, he had a lot of personality and at his best was a very good fighter at 185lbs. He had a couple of beauties with Jake Shields.

GSP vacates the MW title as expected and we have Whittaker vs Rockhold for the title at UFC 221. I really like this fight and I think Whittaker has a damn good crack at winning it.

St-Pierre decided to vacate the title after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I guess he was too thicc in his last fight

[Crowe Diddly]

Quite amazing to think GSP has already vacated a belt before this one. Imagine if he fights & beats Woodley and decides to hang it up again? Imagine 3 titles vacated. Would be a tremendous FU to Dana, who made it his business to shit on GSP for the last few years every chance he got.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing GSP walk away for good. Partly as an FU to Dana and partly to avoid what comes to all MMA fighters that hang around a bit too long.

GSP deserves a 50 mill payday vs McGregor before he retires for good.

you cant throw a rock at like 3 divisions without it bouncing off at least 2 people who deserve a shot before gsp.

At least per division but GSP sells ppv's and is considered the GOAT by many. I think he gets whatever fight he asks for. I don't think he wants anything to do with Woodley. It's McGregor or retire for GSP.

For ever and ever, Amen.

one of my favorite parts of the whole GSP-middleweight deal was the UFC putting into Georges' contract that he HAD to face the interim champ once he got the belt. For the last however many months its been, GSP has clearly said his contract said he had to face Whittaker (or other interim), and would leave it hanging in the air like the obvious bullshit it was. 2 days after his fight with bisping, he mentioned how he was already on a water fast because he knew his body wasn't anywhere near comfortable at the weight he was before the Bisping weigh-in. He even mentioned how he couldn't even put on enough weight after the weigh-ins for bisping that he was throwing up trying to force-feed himself just to get back to a competitive weight.

Will always be an mma travesty that Mayhem vs Diaz didn't happen in 2011

plus i dont think he ever pissed hot, which basically gets his face on mma mt rushmore.

Stipe +130 dog against Francis which is surprising.

Francis is a beast. But he is a beast on his feet . Who knows what his cardio is like and how he does on the ground.

He also throws some amateur looking shit, super sloppy but ridiculous power. Stipe has that short powerful right, I kinda like Stipe in this fight but HW's with power and the tiny gloves lead to a ton of variance. Could be a good betting opportunity, I actually think more money will come in on Ngannou.

[sonatine]

francis has also has faced exactly half a fighter to be taken seriously.

Sure he could land one monster punch and put him to sleep.....but he has to land that punch.

<insert a large list of heavyweight fighters who were the next best thing only to get rocked>

id seriously put roy nelson at a 3-1 favorite over him.

Well to be fair that's because he could take 3 of his best punches and still be standing and lucid.

yeah , Stipe seems like an amazing value here. Lock of year - Stipe becomes the favorite before the fight starts. Load up now on value while you can.
