Jason Nicholas "Mayhem" Miller (born December 24, 1980) is an American mixed martial arts middleweight fighter known for his flashy entrances and exciting fighting style. He primarily utilizes Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai, and trains at Cobra Kai under Marc Laimon. Jason has also trained extensively with Randy Couture and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Mayhem has fought in a variety of organizations, most notably ICON Sport and the Ultimate Fighting Championship He holds wins over tough competition such as Falaniko Vitale, Ronald Jhun, Egan Inoue, Denis Kang, and Robbie Lawler.

After the Ronald Jhun fight, a riot broke out and Miller was punched in the back of the head by a fellow fighter, Mark Moreno. This set the stage for a grudge match, and Miller dominated Moreno, finishing him with an armbar at the end of round one. Mayhem became most famous in a bloody battle with Canadian superstar Georges St. Pierre at UFC 52. He lost by decision.

On September 2, 2006, Mayhem won the Icon Sport Middleweight title from "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler by arm triangle in the third round. In December of the same year, Mayhem lost his first title defense to Frank Trigg via TKO in the second round, a fight many thought he was the favorite to win.

Along with his contract with Icon Sport, Miller also has a contract with the WFA.

On October 5, 2006, Miller participated in Anything Goes, a professional wrestling event by Action Zone Wrestling, of which he is a fan. He challenged DDB to a "MMA Mayhem" match. He would go on to defeat DDB via tapout due to an armbar.

Miller was acquitted of all charges after allegedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend's apartment and assaulting her new boyfriend on December 16, 2005. His defense was that he kicked down the door of the apartment only to wake his ex-girlfriend and was not aware her boyfriend was inside.^[1]
