I thinks it's safe to say his performances in the cage is what got him cut. Everyone else is just reporting on the pity party they all had to endure after another less than spectacular fight. Bellator will take him willingly.
Does anybody actually know the facts of this yet and why it's being covered up?
Ttt
Luckily for Mayhem none of the employees or tables were wrestlers

^ that article doesn't say anything specific about what actually happened
Here's what middleeasy.com had to say about it:
Before we get into the entire Mayhem Miller thing, let me restate that the Mayhem Miller vs. LayzieTheSavage beef is nonexistent. It died when I scheduled Layzie to interview Mayhem regarding his new Airwalk contract earlier this year. What I didn't publish is that towards the end of the interview, both parties apologized for acting out of character regarding the entire gym incident that happened in 2010. We hope Mayhem recovers from his loss and continues to have a prosper career, with anything he wants to achieve. With that said, here's what was rumored to happen during Mayhem Miller's backstage incident. When CB Dollaway did his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Mayhem slowly walked to the back of the Octagon and rested his arms on the top of the cage. His head was hung pretty low, so Mark Munoz and Ryan Parsons consulted him inside the cage. They eventually walked out and Mayhem Miller had an 'incident' before the post-fight medical check-up with one of the staff members working at UFC 146. Apparently when Mayhem walked backstage after the bout, he sat down against a wall, probably reflecting on his fight with CB Dollaway. Someone backstage (not sure if it was MGM or UFC staff) asked Mayhem to 'clear the path' and get out of the corridor. Mayhem either didn't hear him or simply was wrapped-up in his own thoughts to care. The staff member then tried to pat him on the back in order to encourage him to move. It's rumored Mayhem Miller quickly got up, yelled at the staff member and then kicked over a table. A few UFC employees questioned why he did it, and apparently he got in a verbal altercation with them. At the post-fight screening, Mayhem starting yelling at CB regarding the decision and threw an object at him. Dollaway continued to sit down and get checked out by the doctor. Mayhem then went into the locker room, gathered his belongings and left the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The UFC couldn't even contact him for his post-fight quote. Nothing physical happened, just mayhem. It's also apparent that Mayhem Miller was on his way out of the UFC if he lost at UFC 146, this incident didn't cause him being cut from the promotion. We also talked with CB Dollaway after the fight, and he still seemed pretty heated after the backstage verbal exchange. We'll post the entire interview later today on MiddleEasy."

I didn't notice the promised interview yet, but this is sort of what a lot of people expected. I seem to remember Dollaway tweeting something to the effect of having not had contact with Miller after the bout, but if this is right obviously I'm misremembering or he was just trying to avoid talking about it.
I heard from a good source he did not put coasters down for his xenergy drink... left a nasty ring...
who is surprised by this?
Sounds like mayhem ensued back stage
He couldn't overturn the couch and had to settle for giving it a noogie.
dabigchet -ShortElbowInTheClinch -LoveSomeOreos -dabigchet -LoveSomeOreos -dabigchet -Le Shat V2 - Government fucked it up, as it does with most everything. Now stupid people think more government will solve the problem, even though that has never happened.
https://mises.org/wire/how-government-regulations-made-healthcare-so-expensive
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," declared philosopher George Santayana.
The U.S. "health care cost crisis" didn't start until 1965. The government increased demand with the passage of Medicare and Medicaid while restricting the supply of doctors and hospitals. Health care prices responded at twice the rate of inflation (Figure 1). Now, the U.S. is repeating the same mistakes with the unveiling of Obamacare (a.k.a. "Medicare and Medicaid for the middle class").
Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman wrote that medical price inflation since 1965 has been caused by the rising demand for health-care coupled with restricted supply (Friedman 1992). Robert Alford explained the minority view: "The market reformers wish to preserve the control of the individual physician over his practice, over the hospital, and over his fees, and they simply wish to open up the medical schools in order to meet the demand for doctors, to give patients more choice among doctors, clinics, and hospitals, and to make that choice a real one by public subsidies for medical bills" (Alford 1975)."
your problem is characterizing - twice - americans obtaining healthcare coverage which allows them to get the care they need rather than having their health deteriorate and die prematurely (as was status quo for the elderly before medicare) as the problem - THE PROBLEM! - of "increasing demand".
it is everything that is wrong with the right in this country, and how the ACA was spoken about too.
the difference between the democrat and republican position on healthcare is that democrats actually see covering everyone the goal. republicans, as far as i can tell, do not share that goal. people like you see covering everyone as the problem of increasing demand. it is the basic difference between morality and immorality (imo).
Immorality would be taking more and more and more from those who took care of themselves physically and fiscally to pay for those who didn't.
I agree with some basic coverage for all as a possibility; but where it is now is not sustainable. The numbers prove, as with most things, there are not enough resources to meet total demand.
Increasing doctor / care giver supply would be a good start. Increasing information and competition in the market would help immensely.
do you think if you take care of yourself physically, you will be able to pay for your own care? that ain't the way it works, jack.
i just watched the most physically fit, healthy living person i know die a slow death where he incurred at LEAST a quarter of a million dollars in care over just the last 3 months of his life.
I think the vast majority of healthcare costs spread over the population trace back to poor health choices, and a fair amount of people not being able to pay or have insurance trace to pour life choices.
However, it is a fact that our costs are much higher than they should be. Government intervention should be in the form of increasing supply of care and information exchange to help lower costs.
As an example, knowing how obese the country is, is it fair to say that hey we will cover your antibiotics and triage, but not diabetic care for the rest of life unless you lower your weight?
And I think that's all reasonable Americans want. A little personal accountability. You're type 2? How about getting some exercise and tweaking your eating habits? You've got heart disease and/or a smoking related illness? How about quitting smoking?
That's the beauty of living in this country. You can do whatever you like so go ahead and do whatever you like. Just understand there are consequences to your choices that others should not be responsible for.
would you trust the government or an insurance company to determine whether or not your condition was due to life or not?
Great question. It's actually referred to as "lifestyle" as opposed to just "life" but that's unimportant. Besides cost the my two primary objections to UHC are that broader coverage of anything would mean a decrease in quality. The government provides food for everyone then the overall quality of food choices would drop. The government provides cars for everyone then the overall quality of automobiles would drop. You cannot expand coverage, raise or maintain the quality of the coverage, and make it cheaper all at the same time.
My other objection is so simplistic I'm almost hesitant to mention it but here goes: Bills Mafia and the viral video of the porn star licking the airplane toilet. The Bills Mafia is a group of Buffalo Bills fans that like to jump off of like 12' campers onto folding tables. Dangerous as fuck and not for me but if you want to do it Bills fans knock yourself out. I don't feel like others should be financially responsible for their broken backs/necks/legs.
The video was of some porn star who videos herself licking public toilets and there's one particular video of her licking the toilet on an airplane that went viral a few months back. Again, I'm not telling you what to do sweetie but when you get some ebolic mouth crunge, you're on your own.
And, of couse, Cecil Peoples had it 30-27 for the chair.
Jon Jones drinky drivey and stays in ufc. Mayhem plays the goof and gets kicked out.
Go usa! Go ufc!
Sho_Kosugi - I was always a fan of Mayhems but his UFC run has been nothing but embarrassing. I see fighters at local mma shows that look way better then he has in the UFC.What are you? The MMA authority?
