With a potential slot on UFC 300 hanging in the balance, Jim Miller needed a solid performance at UFC Fight Night 234 , and preferably one that left him relatively unscathed. Miller (37-17 MMA, 26-16 UFC) found himself in an intense battle with fellow lightweight Gabriel Benitez through nearly two and a half rounds. However, Miller found a way to end the co-main bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas by submission, tapping Benitez (23-12 MMA, 7-7 UFC) with a face crank at 3:25 of Round 3.

LAS VEGAS – Most fighters don’t have the prestige and luxury of a former UFC champion in their country, or at least very often.
