Jim Miller Submits Jared Gordon at UFC 328, Signs Five-Fight Extension

The 42-year-old parlayed the finish into a five-fight deal to pursue 50 UFC bouts.

Overview

  • Fighting in Newark on Saturday, Miller tapped Jared Gordon with a guillotine at 3:29 of Round 1 to push his UFC wins record to 28.
  • UFC CEO Dana White said Miller signed a new five-fight contract after the bout, a move that keeps his 50-fight goal within reach.
  • Miller received a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus for the first-round submission.
  • Miller told fans his 14-year-old son, Wyatt, is now cancer-free after chemotherapy and proton radiation, and his family watched the win cageside.
  • He noted UFC fighters are independent contractors without employer health benefits, so he paid his family’s insurance and covered out-of-pocket treatment costs during his 13-month layoff.
