Dana White Talks About The Legitimacy Of Anderson Silva’s Shoulder Injury And Mayhem Miller’s Stand-Up Problems.
Horrible stand up indeed. I was quite shocked with how terrible he looked standing up. I also thought miller would be able to take him down and do some work..and he did nothing when he took bisping down…NOTHING. Ah darn, now i forget who bisping is lined up to fight next.
Man miller was landing punches in the first round before he gassed. Their is a difference between horrible and unorthodox. Fatigue played the biggest role. Not technique. Let alone a what 18 month lay off
his standup wasnt alot worse than jake shields standup….
Kinda Harsh Dana has been lately.
I’m sorry but Mayhem is one of the reasons this last season was so successful. White should give him one more chance. If he is still as horrible, cut him.
I agree, Miller’s stand up looked pretty shitty. I always thought that Bisping was a bad match up for him in the first place, excellent td defense and great boxing. Sucks the fight went down that way. I hope Mayhem gets back on his feet.
he really sucked but i wouldnt mind him having one more fignt for mayhem fans to actually realize how much he really does suck
bisping is fighting maia next and maia is gonna show that guy what a fight with a real submission guy is like.
lol@tonysnow
I liked it when he grabbed his ass and pretended to slap Bisbing across the face with the turd he just laid.
Mayhem had a bad night. I wanna see him fight one more time, He might win ? If he trains hard and learns from his mistake
Yeah, Dana is on a rampage this week.
But if I was employed by Zuffa, Id know better and how Dana operates and fires people on a knee jerk reaction.
What you do at a bar, on Twitter, on video that gets to TMZ, it all can get you fired. Be smart.
Dude he was ducking and throwing haymakers. Rushing in, throwing blind and covering up. His footwork is about as bad as I’ve seen. And I like Mayhem. There just isn’t a lot of good to find in that.
There’s a calling card for the ages: Not a whole lot worse than Jake Shields. I’m a huge Shields supporter but if GSP came out with intent to finish, Jake would have been pulverized. Going for a finish creates openings GSP wasn’t willing to risk. That’s why I hate the guy. He’s friggin awesome and could finish just about anyone, but he just doesn’t try.
Lol, Maia’s submission game has gone way down since he’s been working his stand up… I doubt we’ll see that old jits wizardry ever again from him.
Mayhem was terrible, he should be ashamed. That said he deserves one more fight to prove whether he belongs in the UFC one way or the other. His standup never was great but his cardio was always decent; it had to be either training issues or an adrenaline dump.
I hate to say it, but Dana is right. Miller’s stand up was almost less than amateuristic. I remember thinking to myself, “If Miller wins this fight, it’s going to come from some crazy BJJ move or some wild and crazy hand strike.”
Adrenaline dump? Come on….he’s been in this sport far too long to succumb to such an emotional conditions such as this. He fought in Pride, for crying out loud. If Miller found way to “Adrenaline Dump”, then we would see this from every UFC first timer, but that isn’t the case. The facts are simple and clear….Miller wasn’t ready for this fight; he didn’t take it seriously enough.

You know who’s to blame for GSP not taking changes….. MATT SERRA
It’s been said about 10 bil times. Still Millers stand up looked something like a scared kid.
Something is wrong with Anderson Silva’s shoulder???? Something??? Huh???? Dana doesn’t know EXACTLY what is wrong with one of his biggest money-maker’s shoulder??? This sounds very fishy!
OverHandGoodNight – there is nothing unorthadox about SUCKING. Looking AWAY when you throw a punch is amature. PERIOD. and if you did ANY sort of training you would realize how shameful Mayhems standup was. Im not a hater at all, just calling a spade a spade. I like mayhem – but I gotta side with Dana on this one – it was laughable at best.
Like who wants to see goofball mayhem miller fight still in the ufc? On dana twitter people are actually saying dont cut mayhem? How many computers does miller have in his house? The only guys mayhem miller can beat is on bully beatdown. He really figured he could beat nick diaz give me a break. Mayhem miller stand up was the wet rag windmill/tornado.
