Mayhem-Stout Bout Added to April 17 Strikeforce

Jason “Mayhem” Miller will face Tim Stout in a middleweight bout at Strikeforce “Nashville” on April 17 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., the promotion confirmed with Sherdog.com on Monday.

MMAJunkie.com was the first to report of the matchup, which will be the final fight of the event’s undercard and could possibly air on tape-delay during the main card’s live CBS broadcast if time permits.

Known for his colorful entrances and larger-than-life personality, Miller lost a unanimous decision to Jake Shields at Strikeforce “Fedor vs. Rogers” on Nov. 7 in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The 29-year-old fighter is a former Icon Sport middleweight champion with key victories over Robbie Lawler and Tim Kennedy.

Stout, a Memphis local, dropped an October bout to Roger Carroll via second-round submission at a Clash of the Kings event in Georgia. Stout holds a victory over “The Ultimate Fighter 5” alumnus Brandon Melendez.

Strikeforce “Nashville” airs on CBS’s “Saturday Night Fights” on April 17 at 9:00 p.m. EST.
