“Pat’s a tough opponent, really tough guy, very experienced, he’s fought some of the best in the world at 170. It’s going to be a good fight and I plan on going out and being really aggressive and violent and putting him away in the first.” – Jim Miller
UFC lightweight Jim Miller spoke with The Fight Nerd at Modell’s in midtown Manhattan to discuss his fight at UFC 159 against Pat Healy. After we thoroughly discuss his beard, we ask what he thinks of his opponent and what he brings to the table, as well as what implications there are in this match. Miller also talks about some UFC on Fox 7 fights, including Nate Diaz VS Josh Thomson as well as Benson Henderson VS Gilbert Melendez for the UFC lightweight title, and who he thinks won that extremely close fight and which of the two he would rather face for the belt.
