UFC lightweight veteran Jim Miller was going to compete in the 50th bout of his professional career against Nikolas Motta at UFC Vegas 37, but he had to pull out from the fight after testing positive for COVID-19.

Miller had never pulled out from the night before and he was bummed out from the situation. He uploaded a video from his Instagram where he revealed the news to his fans. He said, “There’s a first time for everything. In the lead-up to my 50th professional fight, having never pulled out of a fight before, I tested positive for ‘rona.”

He added, “So I will not be fighting next weekend unfortunately. I’ve already talked to, gonna stay on the grind, take a few days, load up on some vitamins and minerals and medicine and get right back into it and potentially even fight as early as Oct. 2.”

Although Miller was very excited to achieve the 50 fights milestone, he insisted on looking at the bright side of the whole incident. He stated he can’t be sad over things that aren’t under his control

He stated, “I’ll keep you guys posted. I’ve never been the type to really get bent out of shape by things I can’t control, so this is how it always happens, right? You grind for weeks, beating the s*it out of yourself getting ready for a fight and it’s always in the last two weeks that an illness or injury happens and this time it just happened to be corona.”
