Mayhem Miller's Theory on What ACTUALLY Happened to Conor McGregor, Dark Side of Life Post Fighting
What was said
"I was showing out being crazy and just wrecking myself on purpose to like say, look what's happening to me right now. They're not going to pay this. I'm out of a job, out of a life, you know what I mean? And hey, the system didn't help me. And so I was kind of doing a cry for help telling this guy, but he just cut the little part where I looked most psycho."
Miller revealed that his infamous Real Sports interview, which showed him in what appeared to be an abandoned property covered in spray paint, was actually a deliberate cry for help regarding UFC not covering his injury and leaving him jobless. He says he owned the house and created the chaotic setting intentionally, but the producers edited it to make him look maximally unstable while ignoring his actual message about the system failing fighters.
