"Mayhem" Miller Taps Kala Hose, Will Face "Jacare" at DREAM.9

20090419_spt_mma1_medium

A few hours after Anderson Silva and Thales Leites ended their dance in Montreal, another middleweight title was contested on the island of Oahu, and this one ended far more decisively. After momentarily engaging on the feet, Jason "Mayhem" Miller (22-6) easily floored the outsized ICON Sport champ Kala "Kolohe" Hose (7-3) with a double leg, softened him up with punches, then secured a bout-ending rear naked choke at 2:23 of Round 1 to earn the 185-pound title at promoter T.Jay Thompson's inaugural Kingdom MMA event. "Mayhem" hit the mic after the win and pleaded for the support of the Hawaiian fans on May 26th when, he confirmed, he'll rematch Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza at DREAM.9 for the promotion's vacated middleweight belt.

Some post-fight comments from "Mayhem" via the Honolulu Advertiser:

"I knew it was over once I took him down," Miller said. "I think his lone chance was to tag me in stand up and that didn't happen. I felt one hard punch from him and it didn't hurt me, so I was like 'OK, I got this.' Then he gave me the opportunity to take out his legs, and that was basically the end of the fight."

. . .

"Like I said before, I'm a fighter first," Miller said. "You believe me now?"

Other results:

155: Ricky Wallace def. Brandon Piepper by rear naked choke, 0:44 into first round.

Excited that the rematch seems more and more likely. It’s hard to another fight going any differently than the first, but if Mayhem comes into the fight with a slightly modified strategy…he might be able to be the DREAM Middle Weight Champion.

If you see news posted on the DREAM official site about Mayhem’s win, that will add major credence to the rumored DREAM.9 fight.

I think Mayhem is good for MMA and I like him as a fighter. But I also like the Diaz brothers.

Its good to see him win, hope he tears it up at Dream 9.

This is a good example of how having the results to a fight in bold can spoil watching the fight for a lot of people.

from Sherdog:
"My initial plan was to go in there and stick him," Miller said. "My corner kind of convinced me here in the locker room, like, ‘Hey, idiot, don’t go in there and get busted up if you can get through this fight clean.’"

loling Yeah, Miller, cuz that’s what you would want to do when another organization wants you to fight for them in 5 weeks time…

Thank G-d Miller had an intelligent corner.

He needs to bring that corner with him to Japan, so they can tell him, “Don’t try to submit Jacare again. Look to knock him out.”
