Jason "Mayhem" Miller can't stay out of the new. Here's an interesting exchange regarding the UFC and their contracts courtesy of MMA Fanhouse,
Do you think the UFC tries to strong-arm fighters into signing contracts that aren't good for them?
Of course. Is that a secret? Is that something people don't realize? Maybe the common fans don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but if you're in the UFC you're in the biggest show, and with that is a trade-off. It gives you the opportunity to make the most money and have the biggest sponsors, but the trade-off is the UFC owns you. Fighters have to determine whether it's worth it to them to give up those rights to be able to fight on the biggest stage in the United States.
Serious question. If "Mayhem" had been in the UFC would Bully Beatdown ever have existed?

Probably not
But don’t forget Mayhem was in the UFC at one point (lost to GSP)

Gotcha. Should’ve used my brain to deduce you meant if Mayhem was still in the UFC would he have been able to do the MTV show.
Definitely not.
