Jim Miller targets 2027 for 50th fight, UFC farewell
"Miller locked in a guillotine choke, forcing Gordon (21-9) to tap in the very first round. Miller extended his record for the most fights in UFC history (47), most wins in UFC history (28), and most guillotine submissions in UFC history (6). This also marked the 20th UFC finish for the 42-year-old, putting him just behind Charles Oliveira (21) for the most finishes in the history of the promotion."
"Miller (39-19) wants to achieve the record of 50 UFC fights. "A-10" hopes to fight once more in 2026, reach his aim of 50 UFC fights by 2027, and hang up his gloves. Miller reveals that he is even excited about the night he will finally leave his gloves inside the Octagon and doesn't want anything to take away from that moment."
""Another one this year, and then I can bang up those next few in 2027 and be done, hang them up, leave the gloves in there," Miller said in a post-fight interview with the UFC. "It's weird, I don't know how many other athletes feel this way, but I'm excited for that moment. I'm excited for that fight. And I don't want something to happen to steal it away from me, where I know that it's gonna happen.""
