“This Guy Is a Legend” – Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dustin Poirier and Many More React to Jim Miller Making History at UFC Vegas 48

The Jim Miller story just seems to keep on going. The UFC and MMA veteran is showing no signs of slowing down and made history with his latest performance at UFC Vegas 48.

Miller, a 16-year MMA veteran, entered the octagon for the thirty-ninth time on February 19, 2022. He took on UFC debutant Nikolas Motta in a fight that had the biggest gap in octagon experience in UFC history.

Miller entered the fight on the back of a devastating second-round knockout over Erick Gonzalez at UFC Vegas 40. And he continued the run against Motta.

The first round saw both men have a cautious approach, with Miller landing huge leg kicks on his opponent. However, he was much more aggressive in the second round and landed a huge shot. That sent his opponent crashing to the mat, and Miller got the finish after landing some brutal follow-up blows.

The 39-fight UFC veteran made history with the win. After the TKO win, Miller tied ‘Cowboy’ Donald Cerrone for the most wins in UFC history at 23.
