#4. Jim Miller has had more UFC success than Dan Miller
The Miller brothers – Jim and Dan – debuted in the UFC within a month of one another back in 2008, and both did so in style. Dan choked out Rob Kimmons with a standing rear naked choke, while Jim outwrestled and eventually submitted France’s David Baron.
Interestingly enough, in their early days in the UFC, it looked like older brother Dan would turn out to be the more successful of the two. He reeled off three straight wins, and appeared to be en route to a UFC middleweight title shot before he fell to Chael Sonnen at UFC 98.
Dan then lost his next two UFC fights, and while he did recover to win a further three bouts in the octagon, he also lost a further four and hung up his gloves after one final loss in the summer of 2015.
Jim meanwhile saw himself knocked out of title contention after a loss to Gray Maynard in his third visit to the octagon. However, he recovered from the defeat to reel off seven wins in a row in arguably the UFC’s toughest division – lightweight – putting him on the cusp of a UFC title shot in mid-2011.
That dream went up in smoke when he was defeated by Benson Henderson, but in the years that have followed, Miller headlined multiple UFC shows and picked up wins over the likes of Melvin Guillard, Takanori Gomi, Joe Lauzon and Clay Guida.
The younger Miller brother is still competing in the UFC today, and holds the record for the most fights in UFC history, as well as the most wins in the history of the UFC lightweight division. It’s safe to say that of the two brothers, Jim will be remembered as the more successful.
#3. Anthony Pettis had more UFC success than Sergio Pettis
When it comes to MMA, the Pettis name is synonymous with flashy strikes, underrated submission skills and plenty of success.
However, while the younger brother Sergio has gone onto plenty of glory in Bellator MMA – where he holds the Bellator bantamweight title – it’s safe to say that older brother Anthony was more successful in the UFC.
Anthony – better known by his ‘Showtime’ nickname – debuted in the UFC in 2011 as the reigning WEC lightweight champion. And while he failed to pick up a win in his UFC debut against Clay Guida, he quickly began to climb the ranks, stopping the likes of Joe Lauzon and Donald Cerrone with explosive strikes.
And at UFC 164 in August 2013, Pettis finally reached the top of the mountain when he submitted Benson Henderson with an armbar to become the UFC lightweight champion.
Three months later, his younger brother Sergio debuted in the octagon to plenty of fanfare, outpointing Will Campuzano in a bantamweight bout.
However, despite putting together a solid UFC record of 9-5, ‘The Phenom’ never really made a proper mark in the promotion, and never really came close to earning a UFC title shot at bantamweight or flyweight.
Anthony meanwhile defended his UFC lightweight title just once – against Gilbert Melendez – before he was unseated by Rafael dos Anjos.
But despite never replicating that success again, he did go on to defeat fighters such as Charles Oliveira, Stephen Thompson and Michael Chiesa, ensuring that his UFC legacy would always outshine that of his younger brother.
