Jake Shields has won his last 12 fights in a row, but that hasn't done anything to shake Jason "Mayhem" Miller's confidence going into tomorrow night's grudge match. The Bully Beatdown host, whose own fighting record stands at an impressive 22-6, says he's ready to tear it up in the ring -- and take his old friend Jake for a ride he'll never forget.
Take another look at our exclusive sit-down with Mayhem and hear how he plans to out-grapple, out-fight and outmaneuver Jake, then tune into CBS tomorrow night to find out which of these two worthy opponents will walk away with the Strikeforce middleweight title!
By now, you probably heard that Jason "Mayhem" Miller will be taking on Rumble on the Rock champ Jake Shields for the Strikeforce middleweight title. So how does Mayhem feel about going against his old pal (and Bully Beatdown pro) Jake? "Friends fighting is business," he told us, sounding completely serious (for once). Hear why Mayhem says he's got the edge in this face-off ("I'm a lot more well-rounded") plus listen up as he delivers a personal message to Jake: "I'm gonna try to take your head off and knock your Chiclets down your throat."

Anyone who's followed Mayhem's career knows the man will do whatever it takes to win a fight. But it wasn't until we sat down with him that we found out the dude wasn't above throwing down with his old man. Hear the Bully Beatdown host get nostalgic about the first time he beat (up) his pops, and check back soon to find out who the MMA master's takin' on in the ring.
When the developers at EA games ranked a bunch of MMA fighters for an upcoming game, they made a HUGE mistake by putting Jason "Mayhem" Miller towards the bottom of the pack. Not only does dude have awesome combat skills -- he's also got a gnarly temper (and zero prob whatsoever punching some nerdy developers in the face). So how'd he take the news? Watch a video of Mayhem's freakout at PlanetXbox360, then check back tomorrow for an all new ep of Bully Beatdown, plus a one-on-one with Mr. Miller.
Jason "Mayhem" Miller has no problem speaking his mind on -- and off -- the show. So what's been occupying his thoughts recently? We checked out his latest Twitter posts and found out dude's been writing about everything from Dr. Drew to Old Man Miller's undershirts. Feast yer eyes on a few of the Bully Beatdown host's sweetest tweets and check back here next week for an exclusive video interview with the man himself!
We don't like Nathan any more than you do. And if there's anyone who deserves to get his face smashed into the mats -- or, better yet, the cage -- it's that guy. But as much as we like vigilante justice (we send 'em our bullies, Jason "Mayhem" Miller sentences 'em to a world of pain), we think Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski might've been a little a hard on this week's Human Punching Bag.
+ Think Arlovski should've shown Nasty Nate a little leniency, given that dude was waaaaaay outta his league? Or should the MMA fighters always go all out, regardless of the bully's fightin' skillz (or lack thereof)? Take our poll and tell us whether you think dem bullies deserve a fightin' chance!
You've gotta have a screw (or two) loose if you're thinking about jumping in the ring with an MMA fighter. Ditto if you think you've got a snowball's chance in hell of actually winning. But we'll say one thing for all the raving looneys out there -- if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have a show.
"These guys [the bullies] are f---ing crazy to want to try to fight a professional MMA fighter," Bully Beatdown producer Eric Van Wagenen tells FightMagazine.com, adding that truth usually doesn't sink in til the fight's already underway. "[A]bout two seconds after Big John starts the fight," Van Wagenen adds, "[y]ou see that look in the bully's eyes." In fact, he even has a name for it: the "Oh, Sh*t! Moment."

You can't really blame "MTV Sunblock" host Adrienne Bailon for not recognizing Jason "Mayhem" Miller. Girl doesn't exactly strike us as the type who follows MMA fighting (or unwinds after a long, hard day by watching Bully Beatdown). So when her red carpet interview devolved into a discussion 'bout Mayhem's "doom streak," poor Adrienne damn near had a heart attack.
Watch the scary stylish wrestler's one-on-one with the former Cheetah Girl and somebody, PLEASE tell this chick not to worry. When he's outta the ring, Mayhem's a lover, not a fighter!
We've seen what wrestler/kickboxer Jake Shields can do against a bully. But maybe it's time he picked on somebody his own size. You've heard the rumors of Shields and Jason "Mayhem" Miller duking it out it for the interim Strikeforce middleweight title. Now hear Jake talk about body-slamming bullies, standing up for his friends -- and yeah, taking on Mayhem in the ring. And Mayhem better watch his back, cuz this is one fight Jake's not backing down from. "Set it up," he told us. "I'll fight him tomorrow." Hey, we're ready whenever you are, Jake ...
We recently had the opportunity to hang with Jason "Mayhem" Miller and discuss the next season of Bully Beatdown, and man ... he crazy. But in the really AWESOME way, as you all know well.
