Jim Miller continues to pull off incredible feats in his historic career.
On the main card of UFC on ESPN 45, Miller (36-17 MMA, 25-16 UFC) stepped into the octagon for his 42nd appearance with the promotion to face a short-notice replacement opponent in Jesse Butler. The lightweight bout aired live on ESPN and streamed on ESPN+.
Miller’s original opponent Jared Gordon was pulled from the bout during fight week, prompting Butler (12-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to step up on just two days’ notice. While Butler got to make his UFC debut in unexpected fashion, it only lasted 23 seconds thanks to the sharp hands of Miller.
