Anyone who saw the main event of "The Ultimate Fighter Finale" seems to agree that it was the worse performance of Jason "Mayhem" Miller's career.
UFC President Dana White was certainly among those disappointed with the way Miller looked in the Octagon.
"It's one of the most lopsided fights I've ever seen," White told Heavy MMA's Megan Olivi after the event (transcription by MMA Mania).
Apparently, White did not even think that Mayhem won the first round, despite scoring a takedown and maintaining top position for a couple minutes.
"It's one of the most lopsided fights I've ever seen. I'm disagreeing with people. I didn't give 'Mayhem' Miller the first round. He had a quarter of a mount and didn't do a thing and actually, Bisping was landing punches. I think Bisping landed more shots, did more damage," White said.
"I go for damage and I think Bisping did more damage in the first round than Mayhem did," he explained.
White then stated point blank that he is not sure if Miller deserves another fight in the UFC.
"I don't know (if we'll see Mayhem back in the UFC). We'll see. He didn't have a good performance against Georges St-Pierre and he definitely didn't have a good performance against Michael Bisping," White said.
Miller is just 1-3 under the Zuffa banner, with losses to Bisping and St-Pierre in the UFC, as well as being defeated in a Strikeforce middleweight title bout against Jake Shields in November of 2009.
Mayhem's sole Zuffa win came when he scored a first round TKO over Tim Stout in April of last year. The fight was under the Strikeforce banner.
