On May 12, 2007, the turbulent life of former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star Jason "Mayhem" Miller was captured on camera as he celebrated his victory over Hiromitsu Miura at WEC 27 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Now, VICE TV's Dark Side of the Cage returns for its second season, delving into Miller's tumultuous journey. The complete 44-minute episode, titled "The Mayhem of Jason Miller," is now available online for free on YouTube.
Former UFC lightweight champion Georges St-Pierre, Michael Bisping, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, Tim Kennedy, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, and Kazushi Sakuraba are among the legendary names Miller faced inside the cage during his time in MMA. His unpredictable personality and colorful entrances earned him a gig hosting MTV's Bully Beatdown for three seasons, followed by a stint as Randy Couture's coach on The Ultimate Fighter 14.
However, Miller's life took a dark turn after UFC released him in 2012. The documentary explores his struggles with drug addiction and mental health crises, as well as the arrests, SWAT standoff, incarceration, and period of homelessness that followed. Miller's eventual path to sobriety, reconciliation, and a new life as a coach, mentor, and family man is chronicled in the episode.
Notable appearances in the episode include St-Pierre, Randy Couture, "Big" John McCarthy, TJay Thompson, and several members of Miller's family.
