Padilla wants to test himself against Miller after submitting Nasrat Haqparast at UFC Sacramento
“I need Jim Miller, man,” Padilla told Heidi Androl after his win. “You know, it’s a veteran, man. He’s been in the game for a really long time. I watched him growing up as a little maggot. So, I just want that, you know what I’m saying? I want fights that are going to give me that little tingle. I got to live my dream, and here I am. The new generation is coming up and I’m here to slaughter every one of them.”
Miller, who debuted in the UFC back in 2008, is coming off a submission victory over Jared Gordon in May, which saw the 42-year-old further extend the record for most wins in UFC history (28). It marked his 47th outing in the promotion, three shy of his desired goal of 50 Octagon appearances.
