Mayhem (back) to UFC

[goh]

Quote:

Jason "Mayhem" Miller is going back to the UFC. The popular middleweight has signed a new multi-fight agreement with the organization, Miller's manager Ryan Parsons confirmed with MMA Fighting. The 30-year-old Miller (24-7, 1 NC) was able to sign with the UFC due to the fact that his contract with Strikeforce had expired. No word just yet on when his first fight back inside the Octagon will take place.

And so it begins

LOL. Goh beat me to it. I was just about to post this. I think Mayhem will be a fine middle of the road MW. Good enough to beat guys like Munoz but loses to guys like Sonnen and Silva.

So I'm assuming we'll see Shields/Mayhem if and when Shields loses to GSP.

Probably not since Shields is at WW and Mayhem is at MW.. Also didnt Shields beat Mayhem already in SF?

Yeah, but I think there was talks of a rematch or trash talking between the two after the first one. I think it was during that moment where the douchebag Diaz brothers interrupted one of Shields' fights post-match.

Yeah, there was definitely talk of a rematch when Shields was still in SF. Maybe even an immediate rematch, IIRC. I don't see it happening in the UFC though. I don't see why Shields would want to move up especially, if there is a chance that GSP will eventually leave the division.
