Lightweight contender, Jim Miller has expressed his desire to face veteran fighter Matt Brown at UFC 300 next year. After securing a knockout victory over Jesse Butler at UFC Vegas 74, Miller openly discussed the possibility of competing at the milestone event.

Miller sees UFC 300 as a new chance to establish himself in the organization after previously competing at both UFC 100 and UFC 200. The potential matchup with Matt Brown holds particular appeal for Miller, given their shared history and Brown’s reputation as an entertaining fighter.

Jim Miller briefly moved up to the welterweight division for a one-off clash against Donald Cerrone last year. This experience reignited his desire to compete in a higher weight class.

Miller’s previous bouts at 170 pounds made him realize the advantages of not having to focus on cutting weight, leading to a significant boost in energy. Reflecting on the Cerrone fight, Miller questioned the necessity of enduring the challenging weight cut to 155 pounds and expressed his excitement about the idea of fighting at welterweight again.
