Mayhem Miller Opts Out of Diaz Fight
Jason “Mayhem” Miller has opted to not take a fight with Nick Diaz in January at a catchweight of 178lbs.
Despite having previously fought at the 170lbs weight limit, Miller now says that he is unwilling to meet at 178 and instead wants Strikeforce’s Welterweight Champion to move up to middleweight to fight him.
Miller has stated he would be willing to lose 2 pounds and fight at 183lbs. As of yet Miller has defeated none of the top Strikeforce contenders but did win a fight on MTV’s Bully Beatdown show.
Strikeforce will now be searching for a new opponent for Diaz for their January card
Mayhem made neary identical arguments just days earlier on 11/29/2010 :
(Nick Diaz) “fought so many times at 183, he always fights there. But then when it’s me, somebody he’s talked sh*t about for years, his manager says fight at 178.”
(Strikeforce) “wants to do it in January. There’s no way. I was a goddamn skeleton, it was the dumbest thing I ever did.”
Brawl that started it all:
