Jim Miller targets 2027 for 50th fight, UFC farewell

Jim
Miller
is excited about the night he will call it a
career. 

Miller took on Jared
Gordon
in a lightweight matchup at UFC 328
on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Miller
locked in a guillotine choke, forcing Gordon (21-9) to tap in the
very first round. Miller extended his record for the most fights in

UFC
history (47), most wins in UFC history (28), and most
guillotine submissions in UFC history (6). This also marked the
20th UFC finish for the 42-year-old, putting him just behind
Charles
Oliveira
(21) for the most finishes in the history of the
promotion. 

The Quest for 50

Miller (39-19) wants to achieve the record of 50 UFC fights. “A-10”
hopes to fight once more in 2026, reach his aim of 50 UFC fights by
2027, and hang up his gloves. Miller reveals that he is even
excited about the night he will finally leave his gloves inside the
Octagon and doesn’t want anything to take away from that
moment.

“Another one this year, and then I can bang up those next few in
2027 and be done, hang them up, leave the gloves in there,” Miller
said in a post-fight interview with the UFC. “It’s weird, I don’t
know how many other athletes feel this way, but I’m excited for
that moment. I’m excited for that fight. And I don’t want something
to happen to steal it away from me, where I know that it’s gonna
happen.”
