It’s been a frustrating few years for fans of Jason Miller. The man known as “Mayhem” once seemed on the fast path to MMA superstardom between his entertaining personality and spot as the host of MTV’s “Bully Beatdown.”

But disappointing in-cage performances and repeated trouble with the law led to a brief retirement for Miller (23-9).

Despite concern from the MMA community over Miller’s mental and physical wellbeing, he was signed to fight Luke Barnatt (10-3) for the middleweight title at Venator FC 3, a move Venator FC President and co-founder Frank Merenda defended in a social media rant.

Barnatt told MMAjunkie Radio he wasn’t a fan of the bout, and in fact, he seemed to not expect Miller to actually make it to the bout.

The weigh-ins for the event, which takes place tomorow in Milan, Italy, took place this morning, and while Miller did show up, he didn’t show up at the proper weight.

Miller tipped the scales at 209 pounds for the 185-pound title fight, missing weight by a staggering 24 pounds.

Should he even be considering fighting?

 

[member 3289]

Lol this can't be surprising to anyone

 

[member 3289]

Should he even be considering fighting?

If organizations are willing to pay him then he'll keep fighting

 

[Joemacka]

Barnatt isnt very good and Mayhem has the size advantage get on it boys.

 

[Super Dave]

There's rumours it might become a light-heavyweight bout.
Ridiculous.

Are you paying to watch in your mom's basement? Who pays to watch him other than game of thrones mamas boys?

Barnatt isnt very good and Mayhem has the size advantage get on it boys.

i assume that means it's on? The odds should be 700-1, in which case I will put a £1 on Miller, if not, not worth the stretch

 

[jason73]

they should switch opponents so he has to fight palhares

 

[Ted Williams' head]

Ugh. So sick of this guy.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Ugh. So sick of this guy.

Yeah, it's sad that he commits but just fucks it up

 

[Hwoarang]

Should he even be considering fighting?

Mayhem?
It's the other dude that should be pulling out, and still demanding half his purse.

 

[Megatron Robinson]

Jeez Mayhem.

Such a fall from grace. Dude was very talented and had a huge following.

The dude just can't get right.

 

[Hwoarang]

Maybe this is all just a big misunderstanding, Mayhem was trying to get as big as he could to fight Josh Barnett? Lol

 

[mysticmac]

It's good to see Jason setting records!

bellator get a lot of flack for signing ufc castoffs and has been but this guy from ventnor has signed the 2 most damaged fighters of all time to fight on the same card.it is pure shock value. palhares is either going to demolish another knee or go full potato and get ktfo while holding on to his opponents leg. mayhem isnt even mentally fit to fight and it is sickening seeing someone take advantage of the mentally disturbed like that.they just want known ufc fighters to give credibilty to their card .this is some japan level bullshit here.they might as well let miller fight 3 midgets and a hunchback

 

[Freeloading Rusty]

Mayhem Miller is a loser and Merena is a bigger loser for previously sticking up for him / shit talking fans.

 

[Qat]

They let this guy into Italy?

They let this guy onto a plane?

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Maybe it's not his fault? Maybe they didn't allow him the extra hour to cut the weight and get weighed again. I blame the promotion.

 

[Sex Chicken]

I blame the airline for serving all you can eat fettucinne alfredo and breadsticks on the flight.

I like how his cornerman is holding the towel in case Miller has to drop his 24 pound underwear.

Coming in at 209 is certainly a shout-out to the Diaz-bros. Mayhem knows how to play the game.

having the ring girls turn around to show their asses during the weighing process is a classy touch

 

[Pitbull9]

Fighter bashing allowed for this one instance? lol

 

[Wild]

Jeez Mayhem.

Such a fall from grace. Dude was very talented and had a huge following.

The dude just can't get right.

This. At one time, this guy was a high level fighter, and was involved in a bunch of other successful projects. Really sad to see his implosion over the past 5 years.
