A light heavyweight, Milliard has been victorious in eight of his last nine professional appearances while competing on the regional circuit. “The Arubian Assassin” began his career with a 2-4 record, which included a loss to Francois Ambang at Bellator 68 in May 2012.

Milliard has finished six of his professional triumphs by KO/TKO, one via submission and three by decision. He last fought in April 2019, scoring a second-round TKO victory in the main event of a card staged in Aruba.
