Jason “Mayhem” Miller announced his retirement after being released by the UFC, following an uncompelling loss to rival TUF 14 coach Michael Bisping, and a second loss to C.B. Dolloway. Mayhem also lost to GSP in 2005, leaving him an unfortunate 0-3 in the UFC.
Miller recently made an ambiguous Tweet that began the back and forth.

You never begged me to retire @danawhite you must not love me. That’s a shame, I love you. Cont..
It’s ok. Since you never allowed me to officially retire, I am now a Warrior for Peace and Ultimate Fighter for Justice.
Dana White @danawhite

Jason Mayhem Miller @mayhemmiller
Kill yourself @danawhite we are all begging you.

I think you misunderstand. I am happier than I have ever been in my life. I put my energy into the wrong efforts, and now my life is shaping up into exactly what I want it to be. Howabout I fight that fight that Tito “ducked” out of but we will do three rounds in @lorenzofertitta’s other cage. The one where you get to wear a shirt. I know you are a bit insecure about taking your shirt off now that you have implemented random drug testing-but I think you look great-Love You
Dana White @danawhite

At the UFC 150 post fight news conference, White said he tweets had been in jest, and he felt badly that Mayhem took it so seriously.
“It actually bummed me out all day because I didn’t want to do that,” White said. “It sucked.”
“He sent that tweet, I tweeted back, and I was joking. And as the tweeting went on, you saw – that kid’s on medicine, he has some issues, and the last thing I want to do is have that kid more bummed out and depressed than he already is. He started talking like a jackass on Twitter, so I blasted him back. Now I kind of wish I didn’t.
“I’m sure he’s not going through a very good time right now, no matter how much he wants to say he is.”
“A guy like Jason, he’s one of those nutty-type guys. Has he always been my favorite fighter? No. A lot of the antics that he does, I’m not a fan of (and) I don’t like – the pink boas and all that kind of stuff. I like guys that are serious and guys that come in to fight hard and win.
“But I don’t hate Jason Miller or wish any ill will to the kid. Whatever he has moved on to in the next chapter of his life, I hope he’s successful, and I hope he does well.”
