Jim Miller on his path to a win against Terrance McKinney<\/p>\n
In a recent conversation with MMA Junkie, longtime UFC staple Jim Miller opened up about his next fight, against Terrance McKinney, which goes down this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In regard to his upcoming fight with McKinney likely being as violent as a car crash, Miller outlined that his path to a victory primarily relies on weathering the early storm.<\/p>\n
Some fans and experts believe that McKinney, a fast-starter and knockout artist, is likely to employ his usual strategy of attempting to overwhelm his opponent for an early finish. On that note, Miller stated:\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Yeah. McKinney is a tough dude. He starts very fast, very dangerous. But he does seem to fade a little bit, too. So, yeah, it’s a tough fight. I gotta be on from the very beginning of the fight”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miller continued, “And, yeah, just kind of know that if I can weather the storm, my chances of victory go up as the time ticks away. So, I like these fights.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furthermore, “A-10” suggested that he likes and thrives in the type of fights wherein he knows his opponent will come at him rather than engage in a point fighting contest. The American combatant thereby indicated that McKinney, who’s known for his aggressive combat style, would make for a good matchup against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
