Jason "Mayhem" Miller Interrupts Jake Shields, Cesar Gracie Fight Team to Mar CBS Saturday Night Fights

PrintCageside Seats jumps on the story:
It's not really clear why, but Nick Diaz (cornering Jake Shields) and Jason "Mayhem" Miller (cornering Dan Henderson) just got into a wild brawl in the cage after the Shields-Henderson main event. Mayhem got in Shields' face, then Shields pushed him, so Diaz jumped in and Mayhem while Gus Johnson nearly had an aneurysm screaming "Gentleman, please! We are on national television!"
I'd much rather be commenting on the brilliant tactics and techniques of the Strikeforce: Nashville on CBS show, but the potential business implications of a dismal show that included three straight five round decisions -- all of them mostly one-sided -- and ended in a bench clearing brawl between the defending champion and his team against one member of Dan Henderson's Team Quest.
Dana White was the big winner of virtually every fight on this card.
I'll let Cageside wallow in the atrocities of the brawl. We'll be back with much more coverage of the business implications of this event almost all of them great for the UFC, bad for CBS and dismal for Strikeforce.
Jake Shields and King Mo emerged as the big winners with Gilbert Melendez making a strong claim to be one of the world's top lightweights.
All in all it was an exciting night for the hard core fans but probably a disaster in the ratings.
[UPDATE]: Zak Woods is cage side with original photos from the brawl:
Zak has a cage side report as well:
Mayhem Miller walked into the cage and stood behind Shields during his victory interview. It appeared as if Gilbert Melendez did not appreciate Miller attempting to steal spotlight from Shields during Jake's moment and went to push Miller off screen and out of the way. What ended was a scuffle in the cage, on what I assume, was live television. Included in the footage was what appeared to be Shields's camp beating up Miller as security had to disperse the fight. If MMA wanted attention from the mainstream media they will probably now have it. Ignoring how the media reacts will be how CBS reacts and if they want disassociate themselves with this now. I am unsure how much was on live t.v. and how much attention it will get, but this is not a case of "no publicity is bad publicity."

No such thing as bad press
Not entirely true, but I can only imagine that this doesn’t hurt the target demographic or perspective advertisers… we’re talking about what matters right?
I don’t know that this “marred” the ending. Three pretty crappy fights going to decision didn’t need to be marred…
The ending was like keying a Ford Pinto that had just exploded into flames.

I was so happy when Kimbo got ktfo and again tonight, shitstorm! Incredibly boring card ending with Strikeforce’s big signing of a 39 year old getting rolled up. Then, a national television nightmare of that brawl in the ring.
Strikeforce is the USFL that is standing in the way of my fights. Please die soon.
Yeah but....
The XFL didnt have anyone worth a shit. The USFL was signing future hall of famers like, hey! Saw him tonight! Herschal Walker

It’s not really clear why they fought? Give me a break.
Mayhem came in trying to mug for the camera with a ring full of fighters who have previously professed their disdain for fighters with painted hair, among other things. Not to mention one of those fighters famously got into a brawl with his opponent in a HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM after a fight. Yeah, that was hard to predict.

by darkside3744 on Apr 18, 2010 12:21 AM EDT up reply actions
shitfarce,,,
Let me save you the trouble on the business implications:
SHitfacre is now stuck with a giaranteed contract they have to pay Dan who just lost to a fucking middleweight… that fucking middleweight is now a free agent who has a guaranteed shot at GSP and big money offer they have to exceed in order to keep him…. wait it gets worse:
If they come up with a huge offer to keep jake they have nobody to sell a fight with him. In the UFC he’s a very intriguing opponent for GSP – in shitfarce his a dull guy who’s gonna lay and pray on his next opponent.
Now to Gegard:
Gegard trained with tristar for a few weeks. Word was he had no wrestling. Ryan Bader would beat him 9 out of 10 times.
The geniuses at Shitfarce just re-upped his contract :)
King Mo’s got 2 fights left on his deal (he didnt sign the champs clause) so now shitfarce has to figure out how to extend his contract or get him beat like they did with Jake Shields.
Oh and where’s Fedor :)
SHitfarce is good for the sport though because they couldnt stand Shields winning so they sent that fucking monkey to try and steal his thunder.

I was wrong and you were right. These guys are clowns. I am glad they didn’t think Shields was worth keeping. I am also glad he had a chance to fight dan. He wouldn’t have got to do that in the ufc. Now he can go to the ufc and fight gsp ….. hell maybe even Anderson.

LOL at all the maroons who thought Aoki was actually the #2 LW in the world.
LOL at all the maroons who thought Gegard was the second coming of Fedor.
Double LOL at all the maroons who ranked him 6th best lhw in the world… yeah ryan bader would beat him 9 out of 10 times. Jon Jones would eat him and king mo for breakfast and fart both of them out.
And lol at all those maroons who thought shitfarce was good for the sport… they sent mayhem to go and try to steal Jakes thunder and a riot errupted when everyone is trying to get this fucking thing sanctioned. stupid mutherfuckers.

Soccer supporters do kill people. Tragedies that have occurred recently in Italian Soccer shouldn’t just be glossed over. And they are not.
Shinya Aoki: #1 ranked lightweight in the world. How badass is that.
Thing is, with soccer we’re talking about millions of fans around the world. The usual capacity of a high profile soccer match is around 30,000. When two really big teams or bitter rivals are playing, crowds can go upwards of 80,000. The number of incidents that happen in a game of that magnitude when thousands of teams play around the world is still minimal at best.
Soccer can recover from any sort of tragedy since its more than just a sport. Its a way of life in most soccer playing nations. MMA, which is fundamentally violent, is hard to sell as is to most of the world. Antics like this don’t help.

Did anyone else see the whole thing?
On the stream I was watching they didn’t cut to the empty ring and showed the whole thing. To me it seemed like there was a whole lot of overreacting going on from the fighters. Shields never shoved Miller, it was more of a “alright alright can I have this moment for myself” tap on the chest and that’s where his involvement ended. From there it looked like Melendez stepped in and got a little mouthy and then Nick Diaz did his Nick Diaz thing and kaboom. In my opinion the situation never should have escalated like that. Goes to show what a little low level douchebaggery can get started.

They really shouldn’t be using lame footage like that; they’re trying to build excitement, fine, but you don’t do that by showing footage of a game that would have been killer in 2002. Wait until you’re out of alpha to start showing footage to the public.

Strikeforce’s gate was 8,196

what is the matter with all of you?
i feel goofy even making a comment this low down the list. (who really is going to read something 300 comments down?) but it has to be said (maybe someone else already has said it, i dunno, i don’t bother reading comments past 100 anyway right?!) but everyone is just saying “LOL SHITFORCE IS DUN!” and “NOW GEGARD SUX LOL AND HENDO LOSES TO WELTERWEIGHT OMG” and saying that strikeforce is done on cbs and done for good now etc, and it’s being said with such disdain it seems. i loved tonight. it was on god damn CBS. that is strikeforce delivering for its fans some free quality fights. two underdogs really implemented a strategy and won tonight! it was great! know how much is cost everyone? nothing! yeah, the ufc is the ufc. but they charge us for this quality. you would have forked 50 bucks to watch a comparable card with the ufc. everyone is almost chanting for strikeforce to just close up shop. no thanks, guys. i want to see more of strikeforce, and as much as i wanna see jake shields fight gsp (ESPECIALLY after he just beat DAN HENDERSON for crying outloud) i want to see strikeforce survive. really, survive. and not just sit in the UFC’s shadow. at least, entirely. right now, strikeforces top 2 or 3 in each division would be competitive with the ufc’s top 2 or 3 in every division. that’s a start. the problem is, outside of 2 or 3 (or 4 in some cases) guys in each division, (except heavyweight and maybe middleweight) that isn’t the case. and if shields and others jump ship to the ufc, strikeforce will always have a thin list of TOP talent. and that’s not good. it means no more free awesome cards on cbs for everyone to tear to shreds because the diaz bros are hood as fuck and had to go medieval on mayhem’s ass. did anyone see the quick shot of mayhem batting off like 6 guys at once? i love him even more after seeing that, it was just great. but yeah. to sum up, great night of fights. you all should shut up and appreciate some free fights and quit acting like dana white’s business strategy and marketing is what makes you pick which promotion you like and which one you’ll toss under a bus after a hiccup.

What the fuck are you getting on with? What people are saying is truth, the fights were too long to capture the audience needed for the networks (casuals). The brawl at the end can only be forgotten if the ratings are awesome, if not it may be a dead nail for Strikeforce. Hardcore fans do not matter when it comes to Network TV. Sad but true
you’re proving my point. what the fuck is the difference to me and you what the fuck the casual fans think? am i supposed to base everything i think about mma with “how does this resonate on the casual fan, and what is fox news going to say about this event?” or even more importantly, “i wonder how dana feels, and i wonder how he’ll react?” everyone is almost making it seem like, since the mainstream might not appreciate this event, that we should toss strikeforce under a bus. maybe that’s not your stance, i’m not saying it is. i understand, there were definitely hiccups. and the ratings probably sucked. but im making the point, that i don’t give a flying fuck about either of those facts. i loved the event, and i think strikeforce is great to have around. and everyone else, every HARDCORE (lol i just think that’s funny) fan should hope strikeforce stays around, too. otherwise it’s back to paying 50 dollars for quality mma as our ONLY option.
here's to the rubble...
I want SF around. Their production is improving with every show. What i am saying is we have to look at the truth, which is on network TV there are more important people then us. I want SF to stick around therefore i care about how their business deals go. If CBS falls through the promotion may fall shortly after. Bottom line is no matter how much you might want to ingnore it if the show does shit ratings its gone.
I watched it with a few casual fans
They hated it.
How can you dismiss the opinions of the casual fan AND say that you enjoyed free MMA from Strikeforce and you hope they stick around at the same time? Do you really not realize how they’re linked?
that’s a valid point. when you put it like that, yeah, caring what the casual fan thinks definitely does matter. i’m not sure if this sort of thing is such a huge deal to the casual fan either (outside of the ultra-conservatives) . there was a brawl, which has happened in the NBA numerous times, and in every sports organization. for example, my dad watched the last fight card because i made him, and he enjoyed it. i can say for sure if he watched tonight, the brawl didn’t shock him or turn him off the sport, and i don’t think it will tooooo many people like everyone seems to think right now. it’s fresh in the air, so it’s a huge deal, and i think it was out of line and definitely not mayhems fault (it seems like the cesar gracie guys are mostly at fault) but yeah. i guess the tone of most of the comments was just lost on me. it seems like most people really are tossing strikeforce under a bus (i dunno why i keep using that phrase). but, good point.

The last UFC event had two wars to kick off the card…then the rest of the night happened.

and football, basketball, baseball and hockey. This entire even was an embarrassment, I’m happy I didn’t have to pay for it. I deleted it off my DVR immediately after watching it, now a few beers and it should be deleted from my own memory.

It’s kinda entertaining to read people trying to be funny about the brawl, but let’s be serious for a moment. This will not exactly work in the favor of getting MMA regulated in places where it is not. Even if no one was still watching the broadcast at the end of Shields-Henderson, this is exactly the kind of stuff that will find its way into the hands of every anti-MMA politician etc. I seriously doubt they will care whether Diaz bros beat Miller 50-45 or not.
Dana might be smiling on his twitter but I don’t think someone like Marc Ratner is – he’s the one who’s stuck trying to explain this away during the negotiations… and it won’t matter to politicians whether this was UFC, Strikeforce, EliteXC, DREAM, PRIDE, King of the Cage, YAMMA or some local ULTIMATE DEATHFIGHTING XXX!

Wow this Kid Nate dude is unreal.
brilliant tactics?
Shit if that was a UFC card he would be killing them for making these matches, I mean doesnt the UFC get killed for Anderson/Maia, yeah, but these were tactical fights and brilliant?
Good thing this didnt happen in the UFC, we would have seen 100 articles about how its Danas fault for allowing someone to get into the cage, and it would be bad match making, etc, how the UFC is killing the sport and etc.
But SF gets off easy, figures.
Facts are it was an awful show, totally awful.
Things could not have been worse for SF.
Mousasi hyped, signs new deal, he loses, boring fight, Mo didnt show anything other than takedowns, he didnt try to even pass or nothing.
Aoki was the most overrated fighter in mma, he had nothing, shit was a joke.
bring hendo in, big new deal, hype him, he gets dominated, boring fight.
Jake could go to the UFC, Hendo and Mousasi lose, the shit went long, and only with 3 fights.
A brawl on national tv, they probably will lose the CBS deal.
Fedor wants more from them, he isnt fighting right now.
Can SF pay Hendo, Fedor etc if they arent on CBS? I dont know if Showtime and the 500 to 700k people who watch is enough to pay these fighters what they are.
Fedor contract problems.
Hendo loses
Jake could be UFC bound
Mousasi new deal, he loses
Mo didnt really impress
the partnership with Dream is proving that fighters from Japan cant hang with US fighters.
Bad card
CBS could drop them.
Brawl makes them and the sport look awful.
You have Overeem fighting in Dream/K 1
Mousasi will now go to Dream for the LHW GP
You have nobody to fight Mo at LHW
You have no WW at all
No depth in your divs.
Its not looking good for SF at all right now.
