Jim Miller

“With the contracts, I get paid twice as much if I win than if I lose. So, obviously winning is number one, but I'm not satisfied with the judges having to come into play.”

“I don't necessarily fight to hear the roar of the crowd, but it definitely does give me that extra push, that extra energy. I do feed off of it.”

“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.”

“You have to learn that you don't get paid if you get banged up in training. Training should be more about perfecting your technique, not trying to make yourself tough.”

“As you get into the heavier divisions, even just that 10 pounds, guys start hitting harder.”

“It's a little annoying I get asked about retirement all the time, every lead up to a fight because I'm willing to talk about it.”

“There's nothing more satisfying than making another man quit.”

“It was my fourth fight at UFC 100 so I didn't have as much notoriety but now I get recognized even living in a small town in New Jersey.”

“There was a time there where I would've easily fought 85 when I was walking around in the 180s.”

“I try to finish guys. That's what gives me the rush.”

“I'm pretty confident that I am the most dangerous lightweight in the world.”

“It's not a sign of quitting, or a sign of weakness like some people think it is, to talk about retirement. I have four kids and I'm the provider for our household. There is a lot of responsibility and so I realize it's OK to think about it and plan for it.”

“I'm confident in the fact that if I'm fighting my fight style, I can beat anyone.”

“Fight week when it's in Jersey, it's nice because I don't have to fly anywhere, but at the same time sometimes that travel it kind of like, gets you set into fight week.”

“I'm working on my striking every day. Just trying to get better.”

“Beating somebody up and dominating them, it's fun. It's sick. But it's fun.”

“I'm happy when I win a decision, but I don't get the adrenaline rush that I get when I finish somebody.”

“You like to see third party and all that stuff, but unfortunately the way it works, we as voters and the American people kind of put ourselves in that spot where you've got red or you've got blue. And that's about it.”

“I'm here to fight the best, and I know I can beat anybody in the world.”

“I pulled my psoas muscle, which... it's torture, it's basically torture to kind of get that worked on. It's basically your tenderloin muscle so you have to go in through your abs and behind all your stomach and stuff like that - and intestines - to have somebody work on it, and that's what I had to have done.”
