DREAM Talking Beyond July 16th Show, Sakuraba Is Back!

Mayhem, Why On The Shelf So Long?

Ever wonder where Jason 'Mayhem' Miller went? Last time we saw him in the cage was against the legendary Kazushi Sakuraba where Miller found a win with a triangle choke early in the first round. But, before that, the last time he fought in America under Strikeforce was back in April of 2010. He faced Tim Stout and won via TKO again in the first round.

Questions began to arise, where has Miller been? Well, unfortunately it turns out the reason he has not been back in the cage here in the states are for some very specific reasons. It all boils down to the good old Strikeforce 'Nashville Brawl.' Miller stepped into the cage after Jake Shields got finished destroying Dan Henderson in a five round war for the middleweight belt. Jason asked for a rematch and that's when Melendez and the Diaz brothers came to the aid of Shields and began the tussle with Miller.
