In an exciting turn of events, lightweight contender Jim Miller has issued a compelling callout to veteran fighter Matt Brown, expressing his desire for a thrilling matchup at the highly anticipated UFC 300 next year.
Miller, fresh off a resounding knockout victory against Jesse Butler at UFC Vegas 74, is eager to step back into the octagon and believes a showdown with Brown would be nothing short of phenomenal.
Having previously graced the historic stages of both UFC 100 and UFC 200, Jim Miller is no stranger to memorable bouts. His unanimous decision win over Mac Danzig in 2009 and a subsequent stoppage victory against Takanori Gomi in 2016 are etched in the annals of UFC history. Now, the opportunity to face another familiar face from that era, Matt Brown, has ignited Miller's competitive fire.
Nicknamed "The Immortal," Matt Brown recently delivered a thunderous knockout blow to Court McGee in May, proving he still possesses the captivating prowess that has made him a fan favorite throughout his career. Recognizing Brown's enduring popularity and undeniable entertainment value, Jim Miller shared his excitement about the prospect of a clash with the seasoned welterweight fighter.
Speaking to MMA Fighting, Miller revealed:
"I think it would be a fun fight. Matt, he's an absolute fan favorite. I love watching him fight, we fought on a local card here in Jersey together in 2006, it was like some high school gym. So, I've known about Matt for quite some time, that'd be an awesome one for UFC 300."
The lightweight contender's recent foray into the welterweight division with a memorable bout against Donald Cerrone has further fuelled his desire to compete in the higher weight class. Miller expressed the joy he experienced during fight week, free from the burdensome weight-cutting process and the invigorating energy he felt inside the octagon. Reflecting on this, he questioned the necessity of cutting weight to compete at 155 pounds.
