Midnight Mania: No Jim “F. King” Miller at UFC 300

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Jim Miller is an exceptional fighter.

He may be considered a veteran or a legend, depending on who you ask, but the New Jersey native has a long and storied career. In 2011, he came close to competing for the title, and even though that opportunity didn’t materialize, Miller persisted and continued to deliver impressive performances, setting numerous longevity records. Throughout his journey, he battled Lyme disease and achieved numerous victories by finish.

Miller also holds the distinction of fighting (and winning) at both UFC 100 and UFC 200. He is aiming to continue his winning streak by facing Bobby Greene at UFC 300 next April, and Miller has made a unique request to have a special introduction for what could be his final bout in the Octagon.

He requested to be announced by Bruce Buffer as Jim F., or King Miller. Unfortunately, Buffer did not oblige during the game, but made a comment during his appearance on Schmozon.

“I don’t like swearing at work,” Buffer explained. “I respect Jim’s wishes. At this point, the answer is no. I might go with Jim friggin’ Miller.”

That doesn’t seem to make much sense either, but there’s still hope that “A-10” will make some kind of special announcement at UFC 300. John Anik suggested that. He stepped down from his commentary role after last week’s controversy, but replied on Instagram: “There’s always the official weigh-in.”

I need you to explain the science behind this strategy.

Umar Nurmagomedov has a fight booked. Any predictions for his opponent?

Matt Frevola is seeking a comeback against in-form contender Elf Brenner — get ready for lightweight action!

What kind of deal could White and Feldman strike? Loan out Perry to save UFC 300? Will Tony Ferguson finally be retired?

Considering Chatri was just taunting Japanese athletes to boost ticket sales in Japan, RIZIN shouldn’t be too concerned.

Come to think of it, Takeru incurred significant damage to his hand (and shin) from Super Rec.

I can’t help but think that Georges St-Pierre was a paleontologist in another life.

Tall heavyweights are always entertaining, even if they rarely claim MMA titles. Let’s not forget that Stefan Struve handed Stipe Miocic his first defeat!

I left my right hand exposed while jabbing…

An impressive high kick from close range.
