*VIDEO AND CLIFFS* Jason Miller And Ariel Helwani Take A Walk! 60 MINUTE INTERVIEW
On Dana White
Quote:
Dana White never looked me in the eye, never made eye contact. Wouldn’t talk to me, talked to me once on the phone, even during TUF, glanced at me then glanced to the floor. I understand why… I don’t like to interject my own opinion without concrete data.
I’m sure he has many reasons to hate me, I don’t hate anyone, I don’t want to waste my life hating someone.
He never put on a pair of gloves, he never missed a meal, he doesn’t know what my life is like.
When I said “Dana White kill yourself we are all begging you” it was misinterpreted. I meant “kill the man who you are today, mentally and become someone new”.
On Arrest
Quote:
I live an exciting life, what happened there was between me and my pastor.
Quote:
The TMZ story was completely false, I was not naked, I was wearing a robe.
Quote:
I talk to God in church (Ariel: Do you sleep there?) Yeah, that night
On Evan Tanner and How MMA Fans Treat Fighters
Quote:
It feels like the most heartless people on the internet are into mixed martial arts. If I was actually mentally ill, like severely… it’s terrible. This has already happened! Someone was obviously mentally ill. The entire MMA community was like “he’s struggling with alcohol” well one day, he drove his ass out to the desert and didn’t come back.
Quote:
Yeah Evan Tanner man, he was an amazing man, lived an amazing life, he could of done other things, nobody would give a fuck, ‘you’re not the champion’.
Here’s an experiment, if I actually was crazy, let’s see if anyone goes “hey Mayhem, we love you, thanks for giving your life and your body for my entertainment on Saturdays. The percentage of fans that did that was miniscule.
Quote:
To the mixed martial artists community, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see if you would rise up and help a man with mental illness or would they all say "HE WAS A SHIT FIGHTER ANYWAY!!!"
Quote:
I wrote down my goals, I forgot this, that I wrote down that if I’m not the champion by time I’m 30 then I’ll do something else… I overstayed my welcome!
Ariel says Jason texted him after the interview and used words like “die” “kill” and “blood” and Ariel replied “go paint!”
Quote:
I would love to do another fight, but in this climate, why would I batter myself until I'm unable to feed my unborn children
