Miller (6-0) earned a UFC contract with a trio of 30-27 scores over Jimmy Drago (7-3) in the co-main event of the season opener.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m extremely happy. I&#8217;ve dreamed of this for a long time, so I&#8217;m happy to be here,&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;I was ready to go all three rounds. I knew he was tough and durable. But I also knew I could pick him apart from the outside. I was looking for the finish, but he was hella tough. He had hard kicks, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miller left the fight injured and said he had fluid drained from his leg after the fight, so isn&#8217;t sure how quickly he&#8217;ll be making his UFC debut to see those dreams continue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s whatever they think is best for my career,&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to listen to what they say, see what they want me to do. But I also like to stay active and stay busy, too. I like to fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out Miller&#8217;s full post-fight news conference in the video above.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ufc\/2025\/08\/14\/ufc-dwcs-77-video-ty-miller-dreams-injuries-heal-leg\/85642054007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ty Miller sees UFC dreams start at DWCS 77 \u2013 as long as he can heal;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ty Miller sees UFC dreams start at DWCS 77 \u2013 as long as he can heal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS \u2013 Ty Miller just turned 25 in June, so he hasn&#8217;t had these dreams for long.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,48985,785,85,54754,787,9222],"class_list":["post-69127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-jimmy-drago","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ty-miller","tag-ufc","tag-unanimous-decision"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
