Mr. Controversial, Jason Mayhem Miller fought in his first professional fight since back in May 2012. He was originally scheduled to fight Luke Barnatt for the middleweight title. Mayhem missed the 185 pound weight limit by an embarrassing 24 pounds Friday. Mercifully, he was given a light heavyweight bout against a lesser known Mattia Schiavolin.  Miller came out in style, bad dancing and surrounded by women. Surprisingly, one takedown probably got him the first round on the scorecards, but the second round smashed any hopes of seeing Miller finally win one. The Italian Schiavolin peppered him with some shots and proceeded to submit him via rear naked choke, dispatching him at 3:10 of round two.

Many fans, including myself, are calling for him to get serious or leave the sport. No one wants to see a guy who misses weight by a ludicrous number and then get beaten by an unknown. Miller may not be in the top 100 fighters at his weight class, whatever that is right now. That is unforgivable.
