http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/9/2/1012524/jason-mayhem-miller-talks-ufcs With the upcoming second season of MTV's Bully Beatdown descending upon us, Miller is making the rounds in the interview circuit. Journalists have asked him similar questions before, but I found this response to be relatively fresh: Notice how he twice says the UFC is the biggest show in the United States, not worldwide. Clearly their popularity abroad waxes and wanes depending on which country you go to, but popularity aside, there isn't a bigger or more important show than the Ultimate Fighting Championship. But I buy his point about trade-offs to some extent. Mayhem is able to brand and sell himself while offering a respectable level of talent (if something shy of top ten material) in a sport where both talents are coveted. And while Mayhem certainly has a flair for the dramatic, he does by and large fight tough, credible opposition. However, what track is he on? He can win lesser belts and line his pockets, but he's not divisionally asserting himself as many of his UFC counterparts are doing. No one has to follow such a path and clearly Miller is making a fine living for himself without doing so. Perhaps more fighters should follow his lead. I tend to think, though, that UFC fighters who are serious and capable aren't operating in a similar model as Miller's. I judge neither as superior to the other depending on needs and goals.
a rare case of mayhem holding his tongue there notice he doesnt go into an all out attack on the ufc.. he picked his words very carefully so as not to **** up any future ufc possibilites..
