A biography for Jim Millerhasn’t been written yet.
“I love fighting the guys that I know it's going to be a great fight. The guys that I've really been a fan of.”
“I try not to bunch people together. I like people.”
“I live in Northwest New Jersey in farm country. There's deer everywhere when the dogs aren't chasing them away, and I'm always outside.”
“There's nothing I've felt that compares to fighting. Even on the bad nights. Even on the nights when you're just not there or you just don't feel it.”
“If it's either food or woodworking or brewing... I particularly like making things that I can share with people.”
“Some of the best that have ever done this, they don't fight like I do. Who else at the later end of their career is knocking dudes out?”
“Every fight brings an opportunity to make a big statement because this is the UFC. A great fight can open a lot of people's eyes to what you can do in there.”
“When I asked to fight on UFC 200, it was going to be my last fight because I feel like the fans have earned the right for me to retire in front of them. But I kind of fixed some of the problems that I was having and righted the ship.”
“It doesn't have to be a fight. I could hurt myself doing anything. I can hurt myself in the garden, for crying out loud, bending over.”
“Everyone wants to hear that roar of the crowd when they finish someone.”
“Short notice to me means a couple of weeks. As long as you are not walking around too heavy, you should be able to make the weight by fight night. If you can't do that in six weeks, you really need to question your commitment to being a professional fighter.”
“I thought I had rheumatoid arthritis.”
“I don't live and breathe martial arts.”
“I've had the opportunity to be on a lot of big cards.”
“Until the fight is stopped and over, anybody has the potential to muster up something. That is where you get the great stories.”
“I would like UFC 300 to be my 45th UFC fight.”
“I said I wanted to get to UFC 300.”
“You've probably never seen me smile after winning a decision and you never will because that's not what I am there to do. I'm there to dominate my opponents, make them quit and finish them.”
“I don't get excited when I win by decision.”
“I've always been the hardest on myself.”
