Jim Miller entered the octagon for the 42nd time when he took on debutant Jesse Butler at UFC Vegas 74 on Saturday. Butler replaced Jared Gordon on just two days notice, stepping up against a veteran who has built a reputation for stopping up and comers on their tracks.

Butler opened the action with some haymakers which Miller simply walked through, pressing his opponent towards the fence. 'A-10' connected flush with a left hook, followed by a left uppercut which folded Butler in half on his way down to the canvas. Jim Miller scored a 23 seconds KO win, the fastest of his career, to better his own record of most victories in UFC history (25).

Reiterating his previous call to be part of UFC 300, the 39-year-old said in his post-fight press conference:

“I appreciate the heck out of Jesse, he came in here on just over two days’ notice. I had a great camp, feeling good. When I’m on, I am dangerous for anybody in the world. I put the goal out there to get to [UFC] 300... I want to end my career the way I started my career and that’s fighting as often as I can. At this point in my career, I just want to have good fights.”
