“Anyone. Unfortunately, I think I might have broken my left hand in the four minutes we fought (at UFC 328 ). But I heard there’s an Irishman looking for a fight. I think that would be fun,” Miller stated.
It's worth remembering that Dana White stated he expects Conor McGregor to return to the octagon this year. The former champion has already been linked to a fight against Max Holloway at UFC 329 , scheduled for July 11, but the fight has not yet been officially confirmed by the UFC.

Holding numerous UFC records, Miller recently signed a new five-fight contract with the organization. After his 47th appearance in the octagon, the American explained in a post-event press conference that his main priority at the moment is to preserve his body in order to reach the significant milestone of 50 career fights.
“I want to reach 50 fights. I don’t want anything bad to happen. That’s why I train with the team I have today. They are incredible guys. I don’t do all kinds of heavy training at the gym. Of course, it would be good to have partners with specific styles and body types, but I have a group of guys I trust and who trust me. We manage to do what I need to prepare and they offer me the right stimuli. All this in a safe way,” explained the veteran.
