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.

Miller bounced back with a knockout win over Jesse Butler, while Benitez has not fought since the aforementioned withdrawal.

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.
