UFC 300 is presently being promoted for the depth it provides concerning the variety of previous champs on the card, however the fighter whom I’m anticipating seeing most is Jim Miller.
Aside from the confessed predisposition of Miller being among my preferred MMA fighters of perpetuity, the New Jersey local has actually been providing non-stop action in the octagon considering that 2008, collecting win records and submission awards in what has actually long been thought about the UFC’s inmost weight class, the light-weight department.
Miller presently sits atop the board as the all-time wins leader in UFC history (26) regardless of weight class.
Durability is hard to attain in any profession, much less as an expert fighter in the lighter-weight classes of MMA. With Miller being the only fighter to be reserved on all 3 of the UFC’s historical numbered occasions, the guy needs to be dealt with like royalty from the fans to the promo alike.
Because of that, I believed it would be proper to review a few of Miller’s the majority of remarkable battles, ranking my favorites from his brochure.
Without additional ado …

Jim Miller vs. Duane Ludwig at UFC 108 (Jan. 2, 2010)
Making the No. 13 area is Miller’s club-and-sub win over Duane “Bang” Ludwig at UFC 108.
With that card, in specific, being among the more injury-riddled cards in UFC history, Ludwig– who formerly held the fastest knockout record for the promo– was provided another shot in the octagon when he actioned in for Tyson Griffin. For Ludwig, Miller showed to be more than a submission wrestler by dropping the Dutch-style kickboxer with a tricky right hook.

Notching the No. 12 area is a seasoned vs. veteran match that seemed like it was predestined to occur.
Regardless of Clay Guida stinging Miller early on the feet, New Jersey’s finest had the ability to fire back and counter to fantastic result.
One light-weight legend sustains at another’s expenditure, as Jim Miller (31-13, 1 NC) clubs and subs Clay Guida to end an action-packed minute! Back in the lead for a lot of UFC bouts (33 ), “A-10” is 3-1 in his last 4 (all wins by first-round sub).
