I’m the only MMA star to fight at UFC 100 and 200… now I’m set to make history at UFC 300

UFC 300 is set to be one of the most historic events in the promotion’s history – despite its lack of superstars.

Mixed martial arts’ premier organisation celebrates its 300th pay-per-view card in Las Vegas this weekend. And they’ve put together a card for the ages.

The stacked card features a whopping TEN current or former undisputed champions – with two kicking off a ridiculously loaded card.

One fighter on the prelims, however, will draw the eyes of long-time and casual UFC fans alike – many of whom will want him to win his bout.

The fighter in question is none other than octagon mainstay Jim Miller, who will throw down with fellow veteran Bobby Green at the ripe old age of 40.

Fan favourite Miller – the younger brother of fellow MMA fighter Dan – made his octagon debut back in October 2008.

Miller has fought a who’s who in the lightweight division during his near 16 years in the UFC, trading blows with the likes of Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira and Nate Diaz to name a few.

The American’s tenure in the UFC has seen him rack up the MOST fights in the history of the promotion.

Miller has made the lonely walk to the octagon a whopping FOURTY-THREE times in his legendary career.

Only former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski can come close to matching that number with his 41 ventures to the UFC cage.

But no one will be able to match Miller’s achievement when he faces Green.

As soon as the referee waves the pair on, Miller will have become the only person ever to have competed at UFC 100, 200 and 300.

The New Jersey native fought the retired Mac Danzig at UFC 100 and had his hand raised courtesy of a unanimous decision victory.

But he had his hand raised in double quick time seven years later at UFC 200 when he knocked out Japanese MMA legend Takanori Gomi in two minutes and twenty seconds.

Miller enters UFC 300 on one of his best-ever runs having won five of his last six fights.

It’s not known if he’ll call time on his illustrious career after this weekend’s card, although it’s clear and evident he has the immense respect of his peers and fans alike.

He told UFC commentator Brendan Fitzgerald: “It’s awesome to have left a mark on the sport thus far.

“Hopefully, the mark that I leave is bigger, but I know that it’s been the right way.

“I know that it’s for the right reasons.

“That makes me proud and that makes me happy. Sometimes it’s like, yeah, these guys are throwing punches at each other.

“Like Dana White says, he doesn’t care about words that get said between one another and I 100 per cent agree with that.

“But, people are watching. Kids are watching.

“My kids see everything I do. They see it, and they see me do interviews, all this stuff.

“For them, and for all the other kids that are watching, I feel like there’s a weight on my shoulders… to carry myself in a certain way.”
