Is Jim Miller a Hall of Fame-worthy fighter? This question has Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier divided in their opinions. According to Cormier, the lightweight fighters do not present any accolades that cannot be topped. Subsequently, he does not consider Miller a Hall of Fame-worthy fighter. His comments drew polarizing opinions and stirred up a new debate.
This debate was also advanced by Brendan Schaub in the recent JRE fight companion where he asked Rogan to weigh in on the same. Interestingly, his opinions were quite distinct from his co-worker Cormier’s.

Unlike ‘DC,’ Rogan thinks that Miller is indeed a Hall of Fame fighter. He substantiated his assertion by stating that Miller has more fights under his belt in the UFC than anyone. Not to mention, he also has the second most submissions under his belt, which is nothing to scoff at. In addition, his dedication to the sport deserves praise. When asked, the UFC commentator had a decisive response and stated, “F*ck yea. F*ck yea. Most wins ever. Second most submissions ever. Still looks great, never lose weight.”
This debate is quite intriguing and thought-provoking. On one hand, Miller does hold impressive achievements under his belt. Moreover, despite competing for so many years, he continues to be UFC caliber and only last week defeated G. Benitez. Meanwhile, on the other hand, one can argue, like the former heavyweight champion that, his records can be beaten shortly. However, amidst this debate, let’s find out what Jim Miller thinks of his own Hall of Fame induction.

Jim Miller lashes out at Daniel Cormier
The lightweight fighter was not too pleased with Cormier’s comments about his Hall of Fame induction and had some hostile words. He drew comparisons between his own career and the career of the former champ-champ. He insinuated that his career is just as impressive, if not more. According to MMA Junkie, he stated, ” DC had 15 UFC fights and in his 15 UFC fights – granted he ended up getting the UFC title and stuff like that and double champ. In my first 15 fights, we had the same record.”
