On February 11 live from Brooklyn, New York, the UFC 208 pay-per-view opened with what was sure to be an absolute banger in the lightweight division.
Louisiana’s Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier put his 20-5 record up against one of the grittiest lightweights on the roster in the form of New Jersey’s Jim Miller, who was hoping to get win number twenty-nine of his professional career.
Right as the fight began, UFC commentator Joe Rogan said that Jim Miller “usually thrives on wars”. And that has been the case for the entirety of his near-decade-long stint in the UFC.
