[Tokyo's bad boy]

When I first saw Mayhem I didn't like him at all (that's because the first time i saw him he was fighting GSP and GSP is one of my favorites) but after seeing more of him he's actually a really good fighter and an interesting fellow, he would sell in the UFC for sure. I would like to see him at 185 or 170 in the UFC.

Yep, I thought he was too much of a goof, but I like him now and any character is good for the sport. He was acting up before, during and after the GSP fight and didn't back it up, but him cutting weight had a lot to with not looking good. Of course GSP is a much better fighter, though.

Mayhem doesn't fight at 170 anymore and doesn't have any further plans to do so again. I wish people would get over that. I read an interview that said he felt like a crackhead at 170 and it was way too hard to get down to there. 185 is a great weight class for him. He still has 2 fights left on his ICON deal I believe. He was offered a UFC contract after the St Pierre fight, but rejected it because he got a better deal from ICON. He will be in UFC one day if they pony up the money.
