Vitale to replace suspended Miller on fight card
Advertiser Staff
Jason "Mayhem" Miller was suspended indefinitely from competing in the Icon Sport mixed martial arts organization today.Miller is scheduled to stand trial on Feb. 2 on a charge of first-degree burglary following a December arrest.
He was scheduled to fight Robbie Lawler for the Icon Sport middleweight championship on Feb. 18 at the Blaisdell Center Arena, but that bout has been postponed.
"Icon Sport is indefinitely suspending Jason 'Mayhem' Miller for conduct unbecoming an Icon Sport athlete," Icon Sport president T. Jay Thompson said.
Waipahu's Falaniko Vitale will replace Miller in the bout against Lawler, although the card has been moved to Feb. 25.
Lawler beat Vitale via knockout last year.
Miller said: "To call this whole ordeal a mistake is the understatement of the century."
