“The goal for me is to have 40 fights in Ultimate. This is where I want to get to. Let's see what happens next. I've been thinking about retirement, but I still want to do three or four more fights. If I can drag it out even longer, maybe I'll have the chance to retire in UFC 300. It would be too much. I will have participated in UFC 100, UFC 200 and 300. But I would really like the public to be back,” said Miller.

The North American also spoke about the technical fit against Bobby Green. According to him, the strategy is to take the fight to the ground and finish.

“I always try to finish. I'm not the guy who goes for the knockout, because I have more confidence in squeezing someone's neck. If the opportunity arises, I will take it. I see myself going there and using my grappling skills to finish him off”, highlighted the fighter.

At 37, Jim Miller has a record of 32 wins, 15 losses and one fight without result. In his last fight, he suffered a setback against Vinc Pinchel, in a unanimous decision by the judges. The duel took place in August 2020, at UFC 252.
