Miller: Chin Comes from Genetics, Mental Prep
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Jim Miller, on “The Savage Dog Show,” discussing his ability to take a punch, like he did against Melvin Guillard:
Read more
“I think it’s genetics. My father’s got a hard head. I’ve seen him take shots from inanimate objects that would probably kill me and him come up without a concussion or anything like that and never even wobble. I think genetics does play a part but also just -- you’re in a fight. I know I’m going to get hit and I know there’s a possibility that something’s going to happen. There was no physical pain associated with it; it’s just kind of like you’re fuzzy. Some guys don’t handle it very well. I kind of expect it to happen almost, not that I want it to happen, but it’s part of the sport and you can’t name a great striker that hasn’t been hit. Everybody’s been hit and everybody’s been wobbled. … These are the types of situations that I basically imagine before the fight happens. How am I going to deal with it? If I do get put in a bad spot, how am I going to deal with it? I’m going to do this. I’m going to clinch. I’m going to work my way back to where I’m comfortable even when I’m wobbly. I kind of just have that mental game plan already in my head if trouble comes.”

SRN Rewind: Jim Miller
By: Jack Encarnacao
Jim Miller can brew you a beer, he can fix your refrigerator and he can kick your ass.
He’s thought about what he would do if a Columbine-style massacre broke out at his high school. He fights to have fun. The only time he’s knocked a man out cold was way before he started training in mixed martial arts. This and many other stories paint the picture of who the UFC lightweight is and what he’s about.
A week after his Jan. 20 opponent, Melvin Guillard, joined the Sherdog Radio Network “Rewind” to tell his story, get know the other half of the UFC on FX “Guillard vs. Miller” main event. Jim Miller -- a fighter, father, brother, storyteller -- shares the experiences that made him who he on the latest “Sunday Sitdown,” Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET on the Sherdog Radio Network.

Miller Welcomes ‘Tough Road’ to Title
By: Sherdog.com Staff
On a seven-fight winning streak, AMA Fight Club standout Jim Miller will face former WEC lightweight champion Benson Henderson in the UFC Live 5 co-headliner on Sunday at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. A victory there could propel Miller into a lightweight title bout -- an opportunity for which he has waited longer than expected. The 27-year-old discussed his situation and approach during a pre-fight teleconference:

“I want the tough road. I want to fight all the best guys, and if I feel like I can be the UFC champ, then whoever they’re going to stick in my way on the way up to that point I should be able to beat. So I’ll just keep fighting. If I can pull out a win on [Aug.] 14 then, you know, if they tell me they’re going to throw me in there with somebody else, then so be it. I like to stay active and keep fighting and have that motivation to improve and just light a fire under my ass and be in the gym and try to get better every day.” -
Miller, Brenneman Sign 4-Fight Extensions with UFC
By: Mike Whitman
Jim Miller | Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
It was a good day for AMA Fight Club, as the New Jersey gym announced that two of its top products -- lightweight contender Jim Miller and welterweight competitor Charlie Brenneman -- have signed four-fight contract extensions with the UFC.
Sherdog.com confirmed the news with AMA manager Mike Constantino on Wednesday after Constantino posted about the deals on Facebook.
Beaten only twice in his pro career, Miller has won six straight bouts in the UFC and holds an overall record of 8-1 inside the Octagon. The younger brother of UFC middleweight Dan Miller, Jim’s only losses have come to the 155-pound division’s top two competitors: champion Frankie Edgar and No. 1 contender Gray Maynard. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is fresh off a spectacular “Submission of the Night” performance against rising star Charles Oliveira at UFC 124 in Montreal.
Brenneman comes off a dominant performance against Amilcar Alves at UFC “Fight for the Troops 2,” in which “The Spaniard” used his superior wrestling to grind out a unanimous decision victory. The 29-year-old was also successful in his March UFC debut, outpointing Jason High. Sandwiched between his victories, however, was a TKO defeat to tenacious wrestler Johny Hendricks at UFC 117. The Pennsylvania native has finished four of his 12 career victims by knockout or submission. Read more
