Set to fight Hooper
Miller will fight Chase Hooper at UFC 314 on April 12, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
A win over Damon Jackson in November gave Miller his third victory in his past four fights. The 41-year-old will now look to stay hot against the 25-year-old Hooper, who will also enter the fight with considerable momentum after four straight wins.

Trademark performance in win
Miller defeated Damon Jackson via submission (guillotine choke) at 2:44 of Round 1 at UFC 309 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
It was Miller's 45th fight with the UFC and 27th victory, both company records. The New Jersey native was fortunate on this evening, as a Jackson mistake handed him the win. Miller was struggling on the feet for the first couple minutes and clearly behind, but Jackson left his neck exposed while pushing forward for a takedown attempt, and Jim responded with one of his trademark guillotine attempts. It ended up being enough to earn the win. Miller said in his post-fight interview that he wants to get to 50 fights with the company. It sounds crazy on the surface, but Miller, now 41 years old, keeps himself in great shape and has never had a serious injury. It's an attainable goal as long as the company is careful regarding who it matches him up against.

Booked for NYC event
Miller is scheduled to compete against fellow lightweight Damon Jackson at UFC 309 in New York City on Nov. 16, according to Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Nov. 16 will include Miller's first fight at Madison Square Garden since the UFC made the promotion's MSG event an annual festivity beginning in 2016. He will look to finish his 2024 on a high note after Bobby Green soundly defeated A10 at UFC 300.

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.
