Even though he’s made the UFC walk nearly 50 times, Jim Miller still struggles with something that may come as a surprise.
Sometimes, the 41-year-old lightweight said, he doesn’t think he should be making the kinds of demands about his fighting career that get made by scores of other fighters with far less experience, cache and tenure than him. He doesn’t even really like to make callouts, let alone tell the UFC brass he demands X, Y or Z before he’ll fight.
“I still feel like I deal with a little bit of imposter syndrome,” Miller told MMA Junkie Radio. “It’s hard for me to even say that stuff. My job is to fight, and that’s what I do. I’m not a matchmaker. I’m not any of that stuff. I’m a fighter, so that’s what I focus my time on.”
