Joe Rogan endorsed Jim Miller’s status as a Hall of Famer
He had some substantial evidence as to why he supported Miller being a Hall of Famer. He stated that Miller has more fights under his belt than any other UFC fighter. Not only that but he also has the second most submissions under his belt with incredible performance. When he was asked about his support for Miller he said, “F*ck yea. F*ck yea. Most wins ever. Second most submissions ever. Still looks great, never lose weight.”
Miller was also on the same page as Joe Rogan and was not too pleased with Daniel Cormier’s comments about his Hall of Fame induction. He was a little antagonistic and due comparisons between his career and the career of the former champion. According to MMA Junkie, he stated, “DC had 15 UFC fights and in his 15 UFC fights – granted he ended up getting the UFC title and stuff like that and double champ. In my first 15 fights, we had the same record.”
