Jim Miller knows he has three fights left in his career.
Miller is set to take on Terrance McKinney on the prelims of UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden, which will be his 48th UFC fight. Heading into the bout, Miller is a +180 underdog, according to TelecomAsia.
Although Miller is focused on Saturday, he knows the end of his career is near. His 50th UFC fight will be his final one, regardless of how he’s performing.
“It might be a hard pill to swallow; if I win out, that’s a four-fight winning streak,” Miller said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “It will be hard, but I am ready to move on. I am ready to focus on other stuff. … I’ve dragged this on for a long, long time. I was preparing to retire at UFC 200 before I found out I had Lyme disease. It’s been a privilege to come back from that point.”
Jim Miller open to wrestling matches after UFC career
With Miller approaching the end of his career, which will likely be in the next few months, he is thankful for everything MMA brought him.
However, once he retires from MMA, Miller knows he won’t be done with combat sports as he’s open to boxing matches or some wrestling matches in RAF.
“As I said, I am ready to move on, so yeah, there was some buzz that I got a new contract right after my last fight. There was a miscommunication. I want whatever I signed to be the final fights, done at 50 fights. This sport has been great to me, it’s given me a lot, it’s taken a lot and I would like to maybe box once or twice and lace the wrestling shoes back up with RAF. Kind of slide away from the sport of MMA.”
For now, the focus for Jim Miller is on his final three UFC fights and pulling off the upset and beating Terrance McKinney on Saturday.
