Jason “Mayhem” Miller released an official statement from his official website in reference the brawl on the Strikeforce event this past weekend:

My Apology to MMA

I would like to formally apologize to CBS, Strikeforce, and all fans of mixed martial arts for my role in the events following the Strikeforce: Nashville event. In retrospect, my timing could not have been worse to ask for my rematch with Jake Sheilds, and I take full responsibility for entering the cage and setting off a chain of events that cast a dark shadow on the sport. I’ve been a fighter and a fan of MMA for over 12 years, and would never do anything to intentionally tarnish the sport I’ve given my life to. In the excitement of the moment I let my emotions run high and made a bad choice that resulted in a debacle, for that, I sincerely apologize.

Jason Mayhem Miller

Not that I really think he had much to apologize for. It seems to me that he was just trying to hype a future matchup and did not expect to get jumped. I am impressed though that he chose to apologize for his part in the resulting mayhem (pun intended) and did not point fingers. .
