Dana White blames Strikeforce for brawl
by Natalia Baage on April 21, 2010

Who's fault was the Strikeforce brawl? UFC President Dana White has his money on Strikeforce.

Last Saturday, fans watched as Jason Miller entered the cage after Jake Shields' fight and asked for a rematch against the champion. Punches were thrown and a whole fight ensued. But many are still undecided as to who's fault the scuffle was. White has made himself clear.

"Who let Mayhem Miller in there?" he said on Jim Rome. "He had no business being in there. You know what I believe? Mayhem's saying that he didn't. I think Strikeforce let him in the cage to go in there and do that."

White has long had a problem with the way Strikeforce does business, and he believes that Shields' expiring contract was the main reason why the organization baited Miller into the cage.

"These guys let Jake Shields' contract run out," White said. "They basically bet on a fight that, 'Dan Henderson's gonna beat him easily. Oh my God, Dan Henderson lost, and now we don't have Jake Shields under contract. Mayhem - get in there and let's challenge him and make it look like, if he leaves, he's running away from Mayhem Miller.'"

During the brawl, White sent a message out to his fans - a single ":)"  via Twitter - to let everyone know that he knows his organization is better than Strikeforce.

"Now, [CBS] is stuck with a bush league, C-level promotion that will probably be out of business next month," White continued. "And what you saw on Saturday is the kind of thing that happens when you put a product like that on national television... What you saw on CBS is an example of what you don't want to see on national television. No one had control and that's what happens."
