Another infamous brawl that marred Miller’s career happened during a Strikeforce event. In 2010, Miller interrupted Jake Shields‘ post-fight interview after Shields successfully defended his middleweight title against Dan Henderson. The unexpected interruption led to a chaotic brawl. Interestingly, it involved not only Miller but also the Diaz brothers, Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz. Apparently, the two were part of Shields’ team.

The fallout from the Strikeforce brawl had significant repercussions. Further, Miller and several other participants received three-month suspensions and fines. While there were no severe injuries, the incident cast a shadow over Strikeforce’s live broadcast deal with CBS, impacting the future of the partnership.
