Rewatch Mayhem vs Bisping rewatch - mayhem was a d@mn good fighter

[Wilmer Digreux]

This showed up on my feed and i hadn't thought about this fight in forever so i'm doing a rewatch right now.

When i think about miller i always think of the Shields almost choke, gsp not being able to sub him, and "hello Japan." It's easy to forget how just plain good Mayhem was. Early on miller was clowning bisping on the feet, took him down and mayhem even mounts him against the fence and figure fours his legs lmao! that was sweet





idk if this link is ok to post or not. if not I'll delete it

Jason Miller was a really solid fighter, and he had an underrated chin. For how crazy he is in real life he had a decent fight IQ

It was actually Todd Moore. Mayhem would've crushed Aoki though just by size difference and comparable skills

I liked the build up. I was rooting for Mayhem. Too bad he gassed.

 

[Left Hook Lacy]

Mayhem had great BJJ. Unfortunately not so great takedowns.

 

[VinceArch]

He looked good in this fight before gassing and then like complete shit against C.B. Dolloway and it's not a good look when you are struggling against Dolloway. Granted, I remember he had an injury but the point still stands. I thought he'd be able to submit him fairly quickly when the fight was first announced.

"Hello Japan" was not Mayhem. Wtf...

Miller's striking in that fight, especially starting in the 2nd round, reminds of Anthony Smith vs. Reyes the other night. That was the first thing I thought of. It's like both of them were willing to take unlimited punishment. Of course, Smith just lost a really close friend and Mayhem was probably already battling demons and who knows what else.

Mayhem had a good TD and ground control in the 1st, though. Beyond that, this certainly wasn't his best fight. His fight with Shields in SF (where Jake was saved by the bell from a submission one round) was much better, even though Mayhem lost that one, too.

Yeah my fault i mixed hello japan up with this

Fight just told me how awkward Mayhems striking was, it was bizarre how undeveloped it was for a veteran at that point.

he was fucking shit, i dont know where this has come from

he was winning easily before he gassed. And it looked like he was way undersized too.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Bisping just stared him down when he got into the cage before the introductions with that little smirk on his face like

“I’m about to kick your ass lol”

 

[Sycho Sid]

Miller was good, not great or anything.

Choking out Lawler is probably his most impressive moment.

A competitive round against Bisping before gassing in a 5 round fight is not really impressive.

Almost tapping shields was cool, but was dominated thereafter.

Maybe if he took his training more seriously he would have been better.

Cesar Gracie would've been perfect for him if they could've gotten along. They could've sharpened up his boxing and given him a deeper gas tank.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

I liked the one time he beat up a bully

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Mayhem's a dork.

 

[michaelmichaelmichael90]

He was a dealing with substance abuse and drinking all the time while fighting. I always liked his fighting style and thought he could've been champ had he had the discipline, which would've helped with his cardio. Another "what could've been"

 

[Black Blood]

The thing is... your biggest props for Miller all come from his losses. 'A damn good fighter' is a bit of stretch but he was definitely solid enough for several years.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Miller's particular brand of grappling was much more suited for a ring and grounded knees. He did pretty well in a cage but he was well better than what the average viewer saw of him.

I know he neck cranked Moore at Dream 6, but I believe this was David Gardner at Dream 7.

Agreed prime Miller would smother Aoki

He went to war on the ground with Jacare , not many can do that
