So after listening to Jim's interview last night I got to thinking. Who should Miller fight at UFC 300 should he get through this weekend unscathed? As much as I'm a big fan of Miller, I think we all know his days as a contender are far gone. So I tried to be realistic about who out of the rankings perhaps could we see Jim matched up with. These were the options in my head.
1. Kurt Holobaugh - Both are veterans who are fighting the good fight still against younger prospects. Kurt is coming off a TUF victory to boot. This could be a fun fight between two veteran finishers at 155.
2. Paddy Pimblett - This is quite unlikely but if the UFC wanted to reward Jim with an opponent with a bigger profile. Then I think Paddy could be the opponent who makes sense. I personally wouldn't be opposed to this fight but I think it's unlikely.
3. Tony Ferguson - Personally I think Tony should retire. But he seems adamant about wanting another fight. If the UFC does choose to match him again, rather than feed him to a prospect. I'd much rather see him fight an older statesman like Jim Miller.
4. Matt Brown - This was mentioned previously and while Miller would have to go up in weight for it. I'd personally love to see this fight. It's either gonna be a crazy knockout from brown or a slick submission from Miller.
5. Paul Felder - Lastly bit of a wildcard but Paul Felder mentioned he'd be making a return or wanting one last fight. I think UFC 300 against Jim Miller could be a really cool bout for both men. Again I'd prefer this than seeing Felder fed to a prospect.
So yeah, this is where my head is at on who I'd like to see Miller fight. Perhaps someone else out there has a better suggestion. Curious to see who everyone else suggests.
