When Jim Miller steps foot inside the octagon at the T-Mobile Arena, he will become the first fighter to compete at UFC 100, UFC 200, and UFC 300. Due to the milestone event, Miller wanted Bruce Buffer to announce him as ‘Jim F**king Miller.’ However, Buffer had shut it down.

Jon Anik recently revealed that ESPN does not want to use cuss words on the broadcast. However, Anik indeed promised he would find leeway to use it. The play-by-play commentator did just that during Miller’s official weigh-ins for UFC 300.

Jon Anik’s choice of words brought laughter to the media members and officials from the UFC and the commission. In a 43-fight UFC career, Miller never missed weight and continued the streak at UFC 300. On the other hand, Bobby Green, Miller’s opponent, weighed in at the limit at 156lbs.

In his last fight, Miller defeated Gabriel Benitez via face crank and extended his UFC wins record to 26. Miller has already fought more times in the octagon than anyone. However, he shares the most fights in a single division record with Andre Arlovski at 40. At UFC 300, Miller could bag that record as well.
