'Mayhem' Miller vs. C.B. Dollaway added to UFC 146 in Las Vegas

As expected, "The Ultimate Fighter 14" coach Jason "Mayhem" Miller (24-8 MMA, 0-2 UFC) will get another UFC fight.

Officials announced overnight that the veteran middleweight has verbally agreed to meet C.B. Dollaway (11-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) at UFC 146 on Memorial Day weekend.

UFC 146 takes place May 26 in Las Vegas, likely at MGM Grand Garden Arena with a heavyweight headliner between champion Junior Dos Santos and top contender Alistair Overeem.

The main card is expected to air on pay-per-view, and FX likely will carry the prelims. It's not clear where Miller vs. Dollaway will land on the lineup.

Regardless, both are likely fighting for their jobs.

After a stint with Strikeforce, Miller signed with the UFC and replaced Chael Sonnen (licensing issues) on "TUF 14." However, after an uninspired loss to fellow coach Michael Bisping at the show's live finale in December, UFC president Dana White cast doubt on whether Miller would return to the organization. Now that he will, he looks to shake out of a 3-3 skid that followed a 10-2 run that included an ICON Sport title and stints with the WEC and DREAM. The 10-2 run came after a UFC 52 loss to Georges St-Pierre that marked Miller's UFC debut.

The fan favorite now meets Dolloway. Although the "TUF 7" runner-up won five of his first six UFC fights after the reality show's finale (where he lost to Amir Sdollah), the former Arizona State wrestler since has suffered knockout losses to Mark Munoz and Jared Hamman. The Miller fight will be his first in more than nine months.

If Miller comes in the same way he did against Bisping, he's going to lose and get cut. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes and come back with a win.

All Mayhem needs to do is not gas and he should take Dollaway to the cleaners. I see a RNC in this fight..

Seems like Millers grappling should be able to beat CB's wrestling...

Hopefully Miller works on his cardio and can actually put on a good fight this time.
If he does it should be an easy win for him.

I'm sad to say this but Miller loses this one. What I saw against Bisping tells me that Miller does not belong in the big leagues.

do you think he will be on the ppv card, or prelims?? imo prelims :?:

Mayhem's striking is horrible which sucks cause this fight will be all stand-up because his wrestling also sucks so no chance of taking cb down

I really don't care who wins but I hope Millers entrance sucks and everyone crys about it.

I really don't think Mayhem was all that bad in that fight. I think Dana was completely exaggerating how "good" Bisping looked, and how "bad" Mayhem looked.

Mayhem won the first round, IMHO, but then gassed. And it was all downhill.

So, Mayhem's main task is to improve conditioning. He was spent by the end of R1 against Bisping.

I don't think Bisping looked very good against Miller either but Miller looked really bad excluding the first 2-3 minutes. He gassed way too early, especially considering it was a 5 round fight.

Can't disagree with you there. I thought he was out striking and out-grappling Bisping... and then gassed hard.

He needs to seriously get the gas tank up to speed. Or he's toast.
