Jason Miller has signed with Italian-based Venator FC and will face the promotion's middleweight champion Luke Barnatt for the belt on May 21, 2016 in Milan, Italy, MMAFighting.com has learned.

Miller (28-9. 1 NC) hasn't fought since his May 2012 loss to C.B. Dollaway at UFC 146. Since then, the 35-year-old has found himself in a slew of legal troubles.

"Mayhem" Miller is a beast," Venator FC President Frank Merenda stated. "He is one of the most beloved fighters of all time and people have badly missed such a performer with guts, attitude and at the same time a strong will to win big and to entertain. He’s a huge, huge achievement for Venator FC to have him back in the saddle for the fans all around the world."

Barnatt (9-3) won the Venator FC middleweight title in December when he submitted Mattia Schiavolin via fourth-round rear-naked choke submission. The win marked Barnatt's first since his release from the UFC in May. Prior to the Miller fight, Barnatt is scheduled to meet Charles Andrade on Feb. 20 at BCMMA 14 in England.

Also slated to appear on the Venator FC III card is former UFC light heavyweight Matt Hamill.

Jason Miller's planned return to fighting was supposed to represent a fresh start. But so far, we seem to be getting more of his same old act.

The troubled Miller was arrested the morning of Feb. 7 in Irvine, Calif. for suspicion of driving under the influence, according to Orange County public arrest records. He was released later that day and is due to appear in a local court on March 7.

This is the latest in a string of incidents involving the fighter nicknamed "Mayhem," of Mission Viejo, Calif. The 37-year-old Miller was involved in a pair of alleged violent incidents involving police last year alone, the first a brawl outside a Laguna Beach nightclub in March and the second an incident involving an alleged assault of a policeman.

According to a report published on TMZ.com, because of Miller's past history of violence toward law enforcement, approximately 15 police officers and a K9 unit were on hand for his arrest in Irvine, although there was no physical confrontation this time.

On Monday, it was announced Miller would fight for the Italy-based Venator FC, where he'd meet the promotion's middleweight champion, Luke Barnatt, on a May 21 event in Milan. That would be Miller's first fight since May 2012, in which his lost to C.B. Dollaway in the UFC. There was no immediate comment from the promotion on the situation.

Wait.....so is he 35, or 37?
The article states both.

35

And look at that. He got D.U.I to go with his new contract. what a guy!!!!

This video was right after he signed the contract apparently.
I'm pretty sure he started drinking when he agreed to the fight and just never stopped right up until his DUI.




Why would they even think for a second that he was anywhere near in the right frame of mind to compete?

rumor has it that he will still fight..

my question is - how does he get a work visa to fly overseas considering all the legal trouble he has been involved with?

Man ..... remember how good he was with that ring mop in Bully Beatdown?

jesus christ has mayhem always sounded like a hungry john goodman? what the fuck did he drink to make him sound like that.. i feel bad for the dude.
