Returning to the winner’s enclosure tonight in his lightweight clash with veteran future Hall of Fame inductee, Jim Miller — Bobby Green turned in a bloody battering of the New Jersey native in the pair’s preliminary card clash at UFC 300, landing a unanimous decision (30-27, 30-25, 29-26) win over the veteran.

Green, a veteran lightweight contender under the promotion’s banner, returned tonight for the first time since he suffered a brutal KO loss to fellow UFC 300 feature, Jalin Turner — snapping his winning run to boot.

And meeting Miller tonight, San Bernardino native, Bobby Green was tasked with knocking back the fan-favorite veteran, who had turned in wins over both Mac Danzig, and Takanori Gomi and UFC 100 back in 2009, and UFC 200 back in 2016, respectively.

Emerging beyond the first round despite a decent wobble in the frame, Green bloodied Miller in the second and third frame almost past recognition, racking up himself points on one-sided scorecards.

With the added incentive of $300,000 bonuses on the line tonight for UFC 300, Green urged MIller to throw caution to the wind in the final minute of the fight, wobbling him badly before swamring and dominating to the final buzzer.

Following his victory, Green called for a July return to the Octagon at a potential UFC 304 event in Manchester, England — eyeing a long-anticipated grudge fight against polarizing grappler, Paddy Pimblett.

Dana White continues to defend UFC fighter pay compared to boxing where champions ‘get the lion’s share’

Dana White used “journeyman” Jim Miller in his latest defense of UFC fighter pay.

The Las Vegas-based promotion has been under scrutiny for years as fans and fighters have spoken out about low wages, particularly when compared to other professional sports leagues like the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. Comparatively, those organizations share roughly 50% of their revenue with the athletes they employ. The UFC hovers more in the range of 15%.

Despite that glaring statistic, White has remained adamant that fighters get paid what they’re worth. Speaking with Vivek Ramaswamy on the TRUTH podcast, the UFC CEO once again attempted to defend the amount of money he pays his fighters, using 19-year veteran Jim Miller as an example of how much a fighter can make without ever reaching the upper echelon of MMA superstardom.

“Whoever the champion is in boxing, gets the lion’s share of the revenue,” White said. “Here (in UFC) it’s dispersed across everyone. We got a guy right now who’s 40 years old, and he’s on this hot streak, man. His name’s Jim Miller. He’s been around forever. He’s been around since we bought the company, and he’s still fighting.

“He’s gonna fight on UFC 300 and this is a guy who’s been — I guess you could call him a journeyman in boxing [terms], right? If you ask most people, they wouldn’t know who Jim Miller is, and the guy’s made millions of dollars” (h/t Bloody Elbow).

“He’s never made it to that level [of UFC champion],” White continued. “Guys that would be considered journeymen in boxing never make that kind of money ever. It’s because we focus on building great fights with great fighters. If you can stay here for a certain amount of time, you make really good money.

“It supports your family, you can pay your house off. You’re not gonna have $30-40 million, but you’ll have $6, $7, $8 million. And most people wouldn’t even know who he was.”

Jim Miller, who made his promotional debut all the way back in 2008, has won five of his last six bouts and is scheduled to fight lightweight standout Bobby Green at UFC 300 on April 13. Whether ‘A-10’ wins or losses at the landmark event, Miller is set to make history by being the only fighter to compete at UFC 100, UFC 200, and UFC 300.

Dana White claims ‘journeyman’ Jim Miller has made millions through his time in the UFC.

Miller has competed in an astounding 43 UFC contests and is set to compete at UFC 300 after competing on both the 100 and 200 cards. The 40-year-old has taken on a litany of notable fighters throughout his 15 years with the promotion, including the likes of Dustin Poirier, Benson Henderson and Nate Diaz.

UFC CEO, White claims that Jim Miller has been well compensated for his work, appearing on The TRUTH Podcast White stated that Miller had earned ‘millions’ despite the fact ‘If you ask most people, they wouldn’t know who Jim Miller is’.

When you become a champion, you become a partner. You share in the pay-per-view (PPV) revenue,” White began. “Boxing does [it too]. Whoever is the champion in boxing, you get the lion’s share of the revenue. Here, it’s dispersed through across everybody. (H/T MMA Mania)

Dana White talks Jim Miller’s finances from fighting

“We got a guy right now who’s 40 years old and he’s on this hot streak, man. His name’s Jim Miller,” White continued. “He’s been around forever. He’s been around since like we bought the company and he’s still fighting. He’s gonna fight on UFC 300 and this is a guy who’s been — I guess you could call him a journeyman in boxing, right? If you ask most people, they wouldn’t know who Jim Miller is, and the guy’s made millions of dollars.”

“He’s never made it to that level [of UFC champion]. Guys who would be considered journeymen in boxing never make that kind of money ever.”

It’s a little unfair to boil down Miller’s career to simply being a journeyman and comparing him to people with similar records in boxing. While there may be a crossover in fans, MMA and boxing are different sports and wins and losses mean different things in the respective sport. It’s also not like Miller hasn’t ever fought at a ‘high level’, firstly competing in the UFC for so long says enough about someone’s ability, but Miller has also been ranked.

Matt Brown Claims Clash with Jim Miller at UFC 300 Could Be the Final Fight of His MMA Career

If Matt Brown does score a fight with fellow Octagon icon Jim Miller at UFC 300, it will likely be the last time we see ‘The Immortal’ strap on the four-ounce gloves.

On Saturday night (January 13), Miller earned his 26th career UFC victory, besting Gabriel Benitez with a nasty neck crank in the third round. Immediately following the bout, ‘A-10’ called for a clash with Brown at the promotion’s massive milestone event scheduled for April 13.

Now Matt Brown has responded to the callout with an emphatic yes, revealing in a recent interview that if both men sign on the dotted line, it could very well be his last stand.

“It would be an honor,” Brown said on the newest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer. “I love Jim Miller. Much respect for him. The only downside is he is a [155-pounder] so he’d be coming up to my weight class. If anything, it would be an advantage for him because he wouldn’t be cutting weight and I would, so it would be a little advantageous [for him]. But he would be the smaller guy. That would take a little bit away from it.

“But the fact is, I’m at the tail end of my career. I get on [UFC] 300, there’s a good chance that could be my last fight.”

“Killers that want to fight killers… It’s an easy job for the matchmakers, we’re both already into, so what more is there to say? Let’s do it.”

Matt Brown says it would be "an honor" to face Jim Miller at UFC 300 in what could be Brown's last fight.

Matt Brown Admits to Losing his Passion for fighting

The 43-fight veteran made his promotional debut as part of The Ultimate Fighter 7 all the way back in 2008. Along the way, he has earned victories over notable names including Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson, Tim Means, and Court McGee. In more recent years, Miller’s appearances have been few and far between with him only fighting once in 2022 and 2023.

This wouldn’t be the first time ‘The Immortal’ has teased his potential retirement. Following a brutal beatdown of Diego Sanchez in 2017, Brown indicated that he may be ready to hang up his gloves for good. In the seven years since he has added three more highlight-reel-worthy knockouts to his resume.

However, this round of retirement talk feels vastly different than the last with his role as a parent now taking priority over punching people in the face.

“I’d say a pretty good chance, to be honest [that it’s my final fight],” Brown said. “Just life isn’t what it used to be. The kids are growing up. I miss so many things of theirs for training. It’s kind of to that point now, where my son’s in wrestling season right now and I don’t want to be missing his wrestling matches, because I’ve got to go train. I want to go to his wrestling matches. On top of that, I’ve got so many up-and-coming fighters that just aren’t really getting any attention from me. I’ve got some f*cking killers, some guys you’re going to see in the UFC soon, and I can’t really help them out a whole lot.

“I’ve just got a lot of other things going on. I’ve kind of lost my passion for fighting, but I feel like life is taking me down a different road right now. It’s just a different season of my life” (h/t MMA Fighting).
