A biography for Jim Millerhasn’t been written yet.
“I've got a nice core of people around me that I've known for quite some time and they've helped me along the way.”
“I used to always fight, show up at fight week below 170 and make that cut.”
“I hate only having two fights a year.”
“There are lots of ways fights can end, and you can't count anybody out.”
“I've done thousands of standing elbows now, and when I'm sparring with guys and we aren't throwing elbows, I have to prevent myself from elbowing them. Which is what I want. I want it to come automatically and it has finally reached that point.”
“My style is not about the cardio; it's about the pace. Because I always fight to get tired.”
“I'm not a big city guy. I like it quieter.”
“I don't obsess about it, but the goal has always been to be recognized as the best.”
“Everyone wants to be champion. Everyone started fighting because they want to win.”
“I've pulled ticks off of me before.”
“I've made basically every mistake you could make for the most part.”
“Combining a massive weight cut with actively getting over a concussion, that's not good.”
“I want to fight the guys that I'm fans of and stuff like that.”
“I'm not going to put myself into a bubble and try to protect myself because there are things that are a little beat up on this old body.”
“It's cool to have an effect on the sport.”
“I've always been comfortable with discomfort and I got better with that when I started fighting and going through my career, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and all these things, it hurts.”
“A lot of times, fighters we kind of fall victim to our own ego like it's sparring day, I need to go hard. I need to show these guys what's up. I need to push because everybody else is doing it.”
“I know there are fights I could've won if I fought a little more conservatively.”
“Anyone who wants to learn how a man really holds himself with class and composure should watch my brother Dan. I always try to live up to that.”
“I perform so much better on an empty stomach.”
