Let him fight Bisping. He may lose, but he would surely irritate Bisping to no end leading up to the fight.

A lot of good matchups there. Glad for this signing, as Mayhem was recently running his mouth about pretty much the whole division, let's see how he does now.

Established fighter, hoping they put him up against a pretty good guy to start.

I think that would be a good match up, put in on a summer card. With UFC 132 almost full, could put it on 133 in August. < Just saw on twitter that Belfort vs Akiyama will be on 133 card.

He's been talking about wanting to do a season of TUF against Bisping.

I'd say get him a fight in the UFC quickly, then if he impresses, give him that spot.

IMO Bisping beats him in the fight, but it would probably be a good one, and the trash talk would be epic.

Awesome. And I agree, he needs a fight (ASAP) to shake off the ring rust, give him Bisping afterwards. The last time he fought someone legit was Shields and he was 5 seconds away from finishing him.

IDK, I think due to all his goofy antics, Miller gets underrated as a fighter, he's no slouch at all and a really solid dude everywhere the fight goes.

Exactly, I see him beating Bisping if they were to fight.

132 has a ton of PPV-worthy fights so i think it would be a good idea to put Mayhem on the Spike prelims.

Simpson is a tough fight for Mayhem. He does not handle wrestlers well.

Guess this just re-affirms that Nick Diaz will never show up in the UFC. Go get your head punched in inside a boxing ring fool.

I like Mayhem. His entrances are a little whack for sure, but he's a solid fighter. I'm not sure if I see him as anymore than a gatekeeper in the ufc though...

Diaz vs Miller will happen, no doubt, just the timeline in question.

That could be a killer co-main event to a super fight ppv or something.

I like Miller, hopefully he can get past Simpson.

Mayhem's just got no power striking is the problem. There's a clear ceiling above him; he can only go so far without collegiate wrestling or great striking.

I love his personality. He's a great guy. I recommend the podcasts he's done with Rogan.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

Unhappy Miller is unhappy.
