Jason “Mayhem” Miller & Icon Sport to Make Announcement Tomorrow


January 20, 2006 Honolulu, HI. Jason “Mayhem” Miller, who turned himself into the Honolulu Police Department on charges of alleged Burglary and Assault in December of 2005, will make his first public statement Satruday (tomorrow), January 21 at 2 p.m., inside the Eastside Grill (University Ave/Pucks Alley).

Icon Sport (formerly Super Brawl) promoters T. Jay Thompson and Patrick Freitas will also be making an announcement about the future of their highly anticipated February 18, 2006 event, in which Miller is scheduled to challenge Robbie Lawler for the organization’s Middleweight Championship. Miller’s recent legal woes have created widespread confusion about the event, leaving fans to wonder “will he” or “won’t he” be available to compete. Thompson, Freitas, Miller, and his attorneys will reach a conclusion on the athlete’s immediate future later today. Again, the results of this meeting will be announced at the press conference tomorrow.

Atlanta-born Jason “Mayhem” Miller is one of Icon Sport’s marquee athletes. He began his Icon Sport career in 2003, and has since gone undefeated in Hawaii. In 2004 Miller won the Icon Sport World Welterweight Title, with his win over Hawaii’s Ronald Jhun. In 2005 Miller surrendered his Welterweight Title so that he could move up a weight class to pursue the Icon Middleweight Title. Miller is known as being one of mixed martial art’s most outspoken, colorful, and popular athletes. In 2005, Miller signed a five-fight contract with Icon Sport valued at $200,000.
