You can always count on "Mayhem" Miller to provide a healthy amount of flair with his entrances, but at last night’s Strikeforce event there was a little miscommunication that almost caused him to get backfisted in the face by one of his own dancers. Things went more smoothly in the rehearsal, as you can see, but, like James Hetfield once learned the hard way, things get real in a hurry when the pyrotechnics start popping off. Miller was obviously disappointed with the fight, and though he came within a few seconds of submitting Jake Shields he apologized to his fans on Twitter, saying he "didn’t train hard enough, wasn’t prepared to grapple that much."
Dammit Mayhem, you got nothing to be sorry for. You fought hard against a tough opponent. It’s just too bad you didn’t get to show off your chosen discipline of "slap boxing" a little more. Those of you who still haven’t seen the fight can check it out here.


Now I see why Mayhem was almost KO’d during his entrance – he didn’t stick to the game plan.
