“Mayhem” Miller’s Faux-Retirement to Come to an End
(Fine, I’ll say it. We missed you, Jason.)
When MMA iconoclast/showboat Jason “Mayhem” Miller announced he was retiring from active competition, we treated the news the way you’d treat Aerosmith walking off the stage at the end of a concert in 1994. You know they’re going to come back. They know they’re going to come back. Hell, they know that you know they’re going to come back, because they haven’t even played “Walk This Way” yet. It’s a given that there will be at least one encore, but probably more like five. So everybody waits for the inevitable.
Well, “Mayhem” Miller will bring his predictable retirement to a similar end in March when he faces Kala Kolohe Hose (who you might remember from such ass-whippings as ‘Phil Baroni gets painfully exhausted‘) in the newly formed Hawaiian fight promotion, Kingdom MMA, a creation of former Icon Sport president T. Jay Thompson, also known as the guy who confirmed what we all suspected about Jared Shaw’s ineptitude.
Instead of getting mad at “Mayhem” for wasting our time with this retirement charade that lasted less than six months, we’ll just say that we’re glad to have him back. For those of you in Hawaii and looking to take some time out from trying to get on the BJPenn.com show in order to go see some fights, the event is expected to take place “either March 28 or 29 at the Blaisdell Center Arena.” You know, just whenever they get around to it. Oh, those laid back Hawaiians.
