Jim Miller News

Harry Kettle - June 2, 2023

Jim Miller has received a brand new opponent this weekend after Jared Gordon was forced to withdraw from their contest. When it comes to legendary figures in mixed martial arts, Jim Miller is up there with the best of them. He’s been around the block more than a few times, holding several records along the way. The 39-year-old has the most wins in UFC history and in addition to that, has fought for the promotion more so than anyone else.

Jim Miller says he was close to not fighting at UFC Vegas 74. Miller was originally slated to face L’udovit Klein at Saturday’s event, but the Slovak was forced out of the contest due to an injury. Jim was then offered a couple of different opponents, but nothing came to fruition until Jared Gordon accepted the scrap. Had Gordon not taken it, Miller says he likely would have just delayed the Klein fight.

Miller is coming off back-to-back KO wins and is set to face Bobby Green on July 2 in Las Vegas in a fight that is years in the making. The fight will also serve as Miller’s 40th UFC appearance but it also could be his last as he revealed to BJPENN.com on Wednesday that he’s fighting out his contract, and it isn’t his choice.

Charles Oliveira was praised by former rival Jim Miller following career turnaround, with Miller saying “it’s absolutely awesome to see.” Oliveira and Miller have fought twice in the past. The first time they met was in December 2010 at UFC 124, with Miller submitting Oliveira with a nasty kneebar. They then fought again in 2018 at UFC on FOX: Lee vs. Iaquinta, and this time it was Oliveira who finished Miller with a first-round submission. Given that Miller is not a ranked lightweight anymore, a trilogy fight with Oliveira seems hard to see ever happening. But that’s okay with Miller. As far as the veteran goes, he is just very happy to see how well Oliveira has been doing.

UFC veteran Jim Miller would be eager to square off with Donald Cerrone once again as his push for 40 UFC fights continues. Last Saturday night, Jim Miller was able to bounce back from consecutive losses with an emphatic knockout win over Erick Gonzalez in Las Vegas. The result took him just one behind Donald Cerrone in the “most wins” rankings, and also made him the sole owner of the “most UFC fights” record at 38.

The Octagon remained in Nevada for today’s UFC Vegas 40 event, a ten-bout fight card headlined by featherweights Aspen Ladd and Norma Dumont. The main event proved to be a rather uneventful affair. Norma Dumont seemingly won the opening three rounds of the fight by utilizing her jab. Aspen Ladd would eventually get things going in the late stages of round four, but her last ditch effort was not enough to sway any of the judges in attendance.

Jim Miller is looking forward to getting back in the Octagon. After Miller’s UFC 258 fight against Bobby Green was canceled the day before, Miller wanted to make a quick turnaround. He ended up getting that as on April 10 he will return against the highly-touted prospect, Joe Solecki who is someone Miller knows quite well given they are both from New Jersey.

A lightweight bout between veterans Jim Miller and Bobby Green is the latest addition to the upcoming UFC 258 pay-per-view card. MMAjunkie.com was the first to report that UFC 258 will receive the Miller vs. Green bout. The card takes place on February 13 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is headlined by UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns. The co-main event was originally a middleweight rematch between Uriah Hall and Chris Weidman, and after that fight fell apart, the promotion scrambled to get a new addition added to the card, and the Miller vs. Green bout was the fight added.
