Earns contract despite decision
Miller defeated Jimmy Drago via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at Dana White's Contender Series on Tuesday. After the show, he was one of two fighters to be officially awarded a UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
On a night that ended with four decisions and largely disappointed UFC President Dana White, Miller was the lone decision winner to receive a contract. In a fight that was almost contested entirely on the feet, Miller got his striking going and dominated the numbers in each of the first two rounds, mixing in nice combinations and doing a bit of body work too. The two fought to nearly even terms in Round 3, but every time Drago connected, Miller was right there with a response. The 25-year-old is still relatively green with just six pro fights under his belt, and he'll now look to make his mark in the UFC's welterweight division.
