DALLAS, Texas — The much-anticipated rematch between Jason “Mayhem” Miller (19-5) and Frank Trigg (16-6) — two fighters who recently signed long-term contracts with HDNet Fights — will likely take place Feb. 15 at the organization’s next event.

Both fighters won their respective matches at Saturday’s “HDNet Fights: Reckless Abandon” event, and in a post-event press conference, HDNet Fights matchmaker Guy Mezger all but guaranteed that the two middleweights would meet at the organization’s next show.

Miller avenged a loss to International Fight League middleweight Tim Kennedy on Saturday, but while some writers asked about a rubber match, Mezger had another bout on his mind.

“We might have another rematch fight here,” Mezger said. “What about Mayhem vs. Twinkle Toes? That sounds like a great fight for (Feb. 15).“

Miller and Trigg first met last December at an ICON Sport event. Trigg scored a second-round TKO of Miller to take the ICON Sport middleweight belt (though he’d lose it in his next title defense against Robbie Lawler).

Trigg scored a quick first-round submission (via kimura) over Dewees on Saturday, and with the win, also thinks the Miller fight makes sense.

“We actually get along when we’re not competing against each other,” Trigg said of the possible fight with Miller. “The problem is that.. the people in his camp, they know what I can do, so they train him accordingly… And the fact is that you can beat the crap out of him like Tim did in the first round. He really beat him up to the point that anyone else would have quit and the ref would have stop it. But Jason’s beating you up in the second and third round because you’re worn out. He’s never out of it.

“As for Jason, I should have someone take him out Nancy Kerrigan-style.“

The February show will be just the third in HDNet Fights history. However, on Saturday — in just the organization’s second show — the event drew 6,754 spectators at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Yes he will. He has too much for him.

Mayhem wasn't terribly impressive last night, and Trigg was quite impressive walking through a game Dewees.

OK, first off Tim Kennedy>Edwin Dewees so to compare the performance from last night as the reason Trigg will own Mayhem is goofy.

The reason that this fight will go differently is because the rules will be different, Trigg won't be able to stomp and knee Mayhem on the ground like last time. I got Mayhem winning by sub or dec.
