Dana White has now spoken out about pulling Jared Gordon from his fight with Jim Miller after Gordon spilled the beans about a recent concussion he suffered just six weeks before the fight was scheduled to take place.
White was very unapologetic about the matter and viewed the situation as Gordon putting himself in a life-threatening situation and hiding critical information. The fight with Miller was also scheduled for just a little over a month after Gordon suffered a horrific knockout in his fight with Bobby Green back in April.
When asked if the fight cancellation was due to Gordon spilling the beans about his concussion, the UFC president responded with an affirmative. “Yeah, when you come in here on press day and you announce you had a concussion six weeks ago, and you healed yourself from the concussion: you’re done.”
“I’m not gonna let you fight,” Dana White continued. “We pulled him… He should’ve told us that six weeks ago. He should’ve shown the company and his opponent some respect and at least did that (told us) six weeks ago. You’re not a f***ing doctor. You didn’t cure yourself from a concussion.
“Not to mention…” White said. “Was he self-diagnosed? Or did he go to a doctor, and a doctor diagnosed him with a concussion? You have to be honest when you get injuries. And, of course, the minute we hear about it: no fight is worth keeping on if it’s going to risk somebodies health, safety, longevity, whatever it might be. We will pull you out in 2.5 seconds.”
The question that remains is simple. Why was Jared Gordon even scheduled to fight so soon after a vicious knockout anyways? The head clash with Bobby Green at UFC Vegas 71 and the ensuing strikes Gordon absorbed after already being unconscious was no doubt the cause of the concussion. Even if it wasn’t, getting knocked out cold is definitely not great for the brain.
Usually, fighters knocked out or involved in a particularly damaging fight are given a medical suspension to allow their brain and bodies to heal fully. The length of this suspension can vary, but if Gordon was scheduled to fight Jim Miller just six weeks after the knockout, it’s obvious that if he were given a suspension it must’ve been either 30 days in length. Or, no medical suspension was given at all.
The athletic commission in any given state the fights are held in would typically be the one giving the suspension, but, all blame lies with the UFC for scheduling the fight regardless.
Right now, it’s not clear what Gordon’s next move will be, and Dana White has not commented on it either. One can imagine he will be wanting to get back into the cage as soon as possible, but there’s also no telling how deep of a grudge Dana White will hold with Gordon for essentially being forced into canceling a match that should’ve never been scheduled to start with.
Do you think Dana White should be praised for canceling the Jared Gordon and Jim Miller fight?

15 years into his UFC career, Jim Miller is still setting records for himself.
Stepping into the Octagon for an unprecedented 42nd time, ‘A-10’ scored the knockout of the night finishing debutant Jesse Butler just 23 seconds into their UFC Vegas 74 clash. Both fighters came out swinging in the opening seconds with Miller putting pressure on Butler early. Backing his opponent up against the fence, Miller threw a picture-perfect counter-left hook that caught Butler on the button and sent him crashing to the canvas. Miller followed it up with a left uppercut that turned out Butler’s lights, forcing referee Mark Smith to step in and stop the action.
Official Result: Jim Miller def. Jesse Butler via KO (strikes) at 0:23 or Round 1.
With the win, Jim Miller scored his 25th career victory under the UFC banner and netted the fastest finish of his decade-and-a-half-long career. Looking as good as ever, ‘A-10’ is still intent on making it to UFC 300 next year and becoming the only fighter to have competed at UFC 100, 200, and 300.
ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT ADDED TO @JimMiller_155’s RESUME!!!

UFC veteran Jim Miller suffered a traumatic cataract injury in his eye in his last bout against Alexander Hernandez.
On February 18, Miller competed at UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Blanchfield against Hernandez and lost via decision. Along the way, he received an eye poke which caused a traumatic cataract in his left eye. This is a “clouding of the lens that may occur after either blunt or penetrating ocular trauma that disrupts the lens fibers.”
Despite the injury, Jim Miller is still looking to compete at UFC 300, as he had previously competed at both UFC 100 and UFC 200.
The US-born Jim Miller is an experienced UFC veteran. The American athlete holds the records for most wins and most bouts of any fighter in UFC history. He won’t let his eye injury stop him.
After his MMA career is wrapped, he will consider surgery on the eye. Until then, he will push forward in the octagon. In an interview with ESPN, he said:
“The fortunate thing is that my opponents have to be within arm’s reach, and I can see pretty well at that [distance]. Probably the best bet — and probably what I’m going to end up doing — is just kind of suck it up and have a little bit crappier vision until I’m done fighting … It never quite came back to where it was. But yeah, so with the cataract now, it’s just kind of blurred things up. I guess the way [my right eye is], it’s not like you can really get a corrective lens or anything like that for it.”
On his Instagram, the UFC veteran gave further details:
“Update on my eyeball. Not the one I wanted to get, but I’ll continue to move forward. While the gods were kind enough to grant me a spare, they weren’t kind enough to make that spare as good as this one. Or prevent that spare one from being poked really bad 5 years ago. I still have a brown one that’s healthy though, so there’s that.”
