Watching Miller/Dollaway was not nearly as sad as watching
my girlfriend (her only interest in MMA is I stop bothering her when it’s on)
standing on the couch and screaming, “Come on, Jason, finish the fight!” …I
didn’t even know she knew what that meant. That’s the affect he has, from Bully
Beatdown, to TUF, people can’t help but fall in love with this charismatic individual.
But charisma doesn’t cross over into the octagon. Miller just looked sloppy,
from his inability to capitalize, wild striking, and lacking ground game, this
fight was bad. I like Miller but this is not the same fighter that went five
rounds with Shields or tapped out Sakuraba. He says he’s retiring, but I think
(and hope) we’ll see Jason again; that maybe some time away from fighting is just
what he needs to refocus his career.
