I've seen some highlights videos, but not much else. How good is this guy? Will he beat Bisping in their TUF14 post-season battle? :bbb
Its a better match up for Bisping than Sonnen. Miller brings world class ji-jitsu but his wrestling is probably not good enough to consistently put Bisping on his back. Doesn't have the raw punching power Sonnen had either. Pretty even match from where I'm looking.
Miller has a very high caliber black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu, lethal Muay Thai, chopping kicks, and a "leave it all in the cage" attitude. His wrestling is somewhat underrated as well. If he takes you down he will constantly try to improve position and pull submissions. Not to mention he is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to submit his self.
He submitted Jake Shields. Enough said. Oh, that's right, his ass got saved by the bell, my mistake. What you need to know about Mayhem? He's a HUGE Middleweight and, forgive the cliche, but the dude really is as tough as they get. Joe Rogan describes doing jiu jitsu, "There are two guys where I just can't do anything against, no matter what, and that's with Jake Shields and Mayhem Miller." Rogan is a bad ass jiu jitsu fighter and strong as a ****ing ox... if he says he can't do anything against those guys? Yeah, their jits is amazing. It's an even fight on the feet with Bisping maybe being a bit more techical as he has a deeper kickboxing background but it's relatively even there but if it even touches the mat for more then 10 seconds Bisping is in some serious trouble, Mayhem has a NASTY top game. Oh, and he's entertaining as ****! Very much looking forward to the upcoming T.U.F. season.
You have to read the whole thing, cause... that's what you're supposed to do. Context: I hear it's important.
he was submitted by todd carney and his wrestling is average at best any top wrestler in the ufc middleweight division would have no problem taking him down and tko'ing him, e.g. Chael sonnen, yushin okami and probably even nate!
Yea he was submitted ......IN HIS 7TH PRO FIGHT!!!!!! This guy escaped everything GSP pit him in and laughed at Jacare's attempts to submit him!! The dude had the best submission defense in MMA. By the way, I wouldn't count Chael so highly against Mayhem because isn't Chael always falling into submissions? Ya ****** baby daddy Nick Diaz has average wrestling AT BEST.
Mayhem was the first and to date only fighter to submit Kazushi Sakuraba. Of course he was one hundred and fifty-five years old at the time.
