Jim Miller knockout: What did the UFC veteran say after the incredible victory

After putting his opponent to sleep in just 23 seconds, Jim Miller spoke to Michael Bisping for his post-fight octagon interview. During that time, 'A-10' shared his future fight plans, saying that he wanted to compete at UFC 300. Miller has been a part of the historic UFC 100 and UFC 200 events.

In the interview, the 39-year-old mentioned that he wanted to earn a victory by a kimura lock inside the octagon and also expressed interest in moving up to welterweight to fight his desired opponents:

"I put the goal out there to get to [UFC 300] but I wanna end my career like I started my career and that's fighting as often as I can... I need to kimura somebody. You know, that was my gym move. That was my giant-killer in the gym for years and I've never hit it inside the octagon... At this point in my career, I just wanna have good fights. I wanna fight guys that I'm fans of and stuff like that. I'm happy to go up to 170 [pounds] and fight guys, so let's do it."
