Yet, he came out on the top in his second performance of the year against Roosevelt Roberts. Miller had an easy day at work, as he wasted no time in taking the fight on the mat. As soon as accomplished, Miller submitted his opponent via armbar in the first round itself.
Despite suffering some huge losses in his career, Miller (32-14-1 in MMA) is a true veteran who has been into different sides of the fight. From facing fighters like Diaz and Guida to defeating Joe Lauzon and Thiago Alves, ‘A-10’ Miller knows it all. That said, he can bring a lot of trouble for Pichel.
Vinc Pichel, on the other side, is a promising lightweight contender in UFC. However, he has been severely inactive in the promotion since his debut in 2012. Following an unsuccessful debut against Rustam Khabilov, Pichel did not fight again until 2014.
That said, from 2014 to 2018, he went on an undefeated ride with four big wins under his name. His UFC journey again met with a halt after he got submitted by Gregor Gillespie in 2018. While he bounced back to the win column against Roosevelt Roberts next, Miller would be a hard test on his way.
