Ariel Helwani actually seems genuine about this. That's unfortunate that such an incident occurred and you can tell that he has a personal relationship, not just a business relationship.

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Seemed like he was almost on the verge of tears tbh. I know he was out of breath, but seemed like he was choking up a little too. And it's understandable given how great of a guy Mayhem was (and probably still is, he's just lost).

[@truthtoken2853]

You handled that well Ariel. Respect, you are great at what you do

[@thebigtexas11]

he actually did not. Mahem to complete control of the interview and even Mahem reminded him he was on multiple occasions.

[@JustMarioBros]

So what exactly would you have done? Forced him to his seat? Spoke over him? Got loud? Kicked him out? This is why people respect Ariel, because not short fused to the point where he feels the need to "take control".

[@jackstrada5263]

Blake Rice No he didn't. The way to handle it would have been to respect the artistry of the character and play along.

[@abzi03]

@@jackstrada5263 The artistry?? Honestly I would worry if you are being genuine and cannot see that was a clear case of paranoid schizophrenia whether induced on his own or by drugs

[@dolean2277]

He almost turned Ariel into a Humus Paste with a side of sheesh Kebob.

[@11sdownie]

this dude handled the situation so well, lot of respect to him

[@PunchlineEverytime]

As a fan of Mayhem Miller, and also just as a human being in general, I really hope Mayhem gets some help.

[@Hrel88]

Ariel is easily the best MMA reporter, period. Tons of support Ariel, please keep it up. You're my favorite source for all things MMA. I really like the questions you ask and how you handle yourself in interviews. It's very impressive how well you organize your thoughts and roll with the unexpected; but still stay composed. Seriously, much props man. I'd put you in there with Randy and Chuck and Dana and Joe for helping take MMA mainstream.

[@mafiaclick86]

It sucks to see Mayhem like that. Depression and Anxiety often leads to depersonalisation. I think it's a good idea for him to spend some time off the spotlight. Time with his family or a close friend. He will be ok eventually, but he should put the time and effort into his recovery. Also, Ariel is a boss. Best MMA jounalist hands down.

[@acuralee]

Regardless of how people may feel about Ariel, some respect and edict needs to be shown. I thought Ariel handled this very well and gained my respect. You did well.. he’s lost his crap and it’s sad.

Jason Miller is bi-polar.. People don't understand his mental state. He is on meds, he needs to get help and re-focus...

[@cndvd]

keithsa41 That is his problem ...meds. Why people believe in criminal prescription drugs is beyond me. Look how much it's "helping" him. Next thing you know he's going on a rampage shooting like all the rampage shooters ....all on meds.

[@cndvd]

What ? That what the internet is for....at least mine is accurate.

[@cndvd]

Go find out what meds he's on and when he started acting stupid, you'll see the relation...yes, it also could be getting pounded in his head too much, he is in the hurt-game. Eventually it hurts, if you got no defense. Too bad it is when he just got to the UFC...he could of done well.

I looked up to Mayhem when I was growing up!! I would get bullied at school and go home and watch bully beatdown and how he would stand up to the bullies. Saying he too was bullied as a child. Him being an ass the way he is being now doesn't make him much better than the bullies

[@LuMKimonos]

Ariel, you had a wonderful reaction to him and now, after all of this, that you are saying here, I see how great of a person you are, because you feel for other people's pains and not only for yourself or your show. I could see how disturbed you got, the same way that I did, because I also DO LOVE Mayhem Miller as a fighter/human... I am also upset and worried about him, but he will find his way, for sure.

The reason why Jason acted this way was because he wanted to avoid being asked quiestions about his arrest and what not. He was embarassed. You can tell he was like having a panic attack over it and got pissed because he was asking him quiestions about himself, afraid of what he was going to ask.

[@jokur8935]

I want to see Mayhem rebuild his career. I've been a fan of his for a long time. The MMA hour is a great platform to start that process. Hear things from his side and see him start to move forward.

[@mike41062]

I really feel bad for Jason Miller ("mayhem").. he was a great fighter, he also had a show called "bully beatdown" which I thought was AWESOME (look it up if you haven't seen it). He had a long career and his body is so effed up. He also has a lot of baggage he's carrying around since before he entered the MMA scene, and then after leaving the MMA life for so long- It's a total shock to your psyche, what do you do next? How do you become "normal" again after for SO many years, especially after playing the part of that crazy, wild guy who kicks ass.. it's gotta mess with your head and I'm sure could make you bi-polar or have schizophrenia.. yeah he's made some dumb mistakes, but who hasn't.. just because he's famous and the spotlight is on him at all times, every little mistake is a huge story and told to everyone. He looks real depressed and seems lost like he doesn't know what to do next or what path he should go down in life.. I think he needs a therapist... Also, I've ALWAYS hated Dana White- he's like a douche bag, manipulative, dictator who has gotten so high off the power he has over these fighters! I feel like they should form a union, without all of these incredibly talented fighters that he's a dick to that fight under the name "UFC" and make him rich , he would be a nobody- just another prick feeling self-entitled..

Check wiki. Since this interview he has had major arrests and charges every year. He has been charged/convicted of domestic assault/battery. The next time he slips he'll do hard time.

[@jeffreynapisa331]

Ariel, I appreciate your show and enjoy watching....I think what he did was completely disrespectful in his actions....I also hope the best for him and what he may be going through,but I do believe what he did he should have apologized to you personally and publicly....anyhow keep doing what your doing...keep up the great work sir!

Thanks to everyone that helped answer my question. I apologize for asking a question totally unrelated to this video but the question came up as I was watching this. It turns out that I was specifically thinking of Brian Ebersole. He fought not long ago with with his chest hair shaved into the shape of an arrow pointing up. He gave up his neck multiple times and it seemed as if he was doing it on purpose, just to show off that they wouldn't put him to sleep. And they didn't. It was strange.

I totally agree with this. It's his job to ask questions that are relevant and that people want to hear.

Kudos for trying to get him to talk, but I could tell from the first minute that he was agitated and ready to explode!

I hadn't seen the interview until recently and man was it weird and bizarre. I feel sorry for the guy, since that's not how a sane and rational person acts. I'm glad Ariel covered the event in this video.

[@CrazycockSays]

I think this guy has been suffering from depression manic or otherwise since his cut from the UFC. He was so close to realizing his dream and it slipped thru his fingers. Moreover he has every reason to believe that he deserved it he was a good fighter & coach but it didn't work out and it doesn't look like he can handle it. His most recent BS has turned my son and I off as fans permanently, but I still hope he gets help and doesn't hurt him self or others.
