Routed by Bobby Green
Miller lost to Bobby Green via unanimous decision (27-30, 25-30, 26-29) at UFC 300 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Set to turn 41 years of age in late-August, Miller deserves significant credit for seeing the final bell here. It ended up a massive rout when all was said and done, but there's a legitimate case to be made Miller won Round 1. The final two rounds? Not so much. In the latter stages of his career, Jim has struggled in most everything other than a grinding ground battle. Facing an unorthodox striker such as Green profiled as a potential worse-case scenario, and it played out that way inside the Octagon. Miller entered having won five of his prior six fights, but the UFC has been exceedingly careful regarding the level of opponent it has matched him up against. This result shows the company needs to continue that trend moving forward.

Pitted against Bobby Green
Miller is scheduled to face Bobby Green in a lightweight bout at UFC 300 in Las Vegas on April 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The 40-year-old Miller took down Gabriel Benitez to begin 2024, extending his win streak to two fights. Miller has won five of six fights dating back to October 2021 and will look to continue defying Father Time against Green, who lost his most recent bout.

Ageless wonder continues roll
Miller defeated Gabriel Benitez via submission (face crank) at 3:25 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Miller is probably going to slow down one day. Maybe. Actually, maybe not. The 40-year-old veteran and sure-fire Hall of Famer cruised past Benitez without issue, dominating his opponent on the feet and mixing in a couple trademark takedowns before closing the show with a face crank with a little over a minute to go. "A-10" has won four of five dating back to October 2021. The UFC has been very careful with the level of opposition it has been sending Miller's way, which should always been the case for an aging fighter. Jim spent his post-fight interview once again saying he hoped to fight at UFC 300 in April, and he mentioned Paul Felder (who was on commentary), Matt Brown and Brock Lesnar. He's not getting the final name, but either of the first two would be fun. Miller no doubt deserves to be the only fighter to compete at UFC 100, 200 and 300. He'll also walk away with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts here.

Scheduled against Benitez again

Easily handles late-notice opponent
Miller defeated Jesse Butler via KO (punches) at 0:23 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was the 25th victory of Miller's UFC career, extending his own record. This was one of the easier ones. Facing a late-notice opponent who accepted this fight just a couple days ago, Miller, who has never been known for his power, uncorked two of the most beautiful punches you will ever see in knocking Butler out cold. Set to turn 40 years of age in late August, Miller has won four of five dating back to October 2021. He has already stated he hopes to hang on until UFC 300, which will take place in 2024. Given his recent string of success, that shouldn't be an issue. The quickest victory of his career would also go on to award Miller one of two $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening.
