Troubled former fighter Jason Miller
is facing a pair of felony charges for a bar fight that occurred in
September, according to a report from
TMZ Sports.
The UFC and Strikeforce veteran is facing charges of assault and
battery after allegedly breaking a man’s ribs outside a San
Fernando, Calif., bar last month. The man Miller injured initially
elected not to file charges but later changed his mind after a
hospital visit. That resulted in police charging Miller with felony
battery and felony assault.
The news comes on the heels of “Mayhem” being
arrested for felony domestic violence in Los Angeles on
September 10. The 40-year-old was held on bail of $1.385 million
after a women called 911 screaming for help and police arrived at
the scene to find her with marks on her face and neck. Miller
initially resisted being taken into custody and was tased and
cuffed as a result.
The former “Bully Beatdown” host has a lengthy history of running
afoul of the law. Less than a year ago, Miller was
charged with multiple felonies including first-degree burglary
and grand theft auto, in which he pleaded not guilty when brought
to trial. He was
previously taken in for a charge of felony vandalism, which
rose to that level when he caused a certain dollar amount of
damage. Other prior incidents include
breaking into a church nude causing damage, and a
guilty plea for domestic violence to a spouse or cohabitant
that put him on probation a few years ago.
Miller owns a 23-10 career mark in MMA over the course of a
professional tenure that began in 2001. He last competed on May 21,
2016, falling to Mattia
Schiavolin via submission at Venator FC 3.
