Miller is scheduled to fight Billy Goff in a welterweight bout at UFC Vegas 120 on Aug. 8 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The jab has long been the weapon of choice for the 6-foot-2 Miller. He plans to use his range as he typically does and pick apart Goff from a distance.

Miller admits that he has to be careful when reacting to Goff’s level changes and making sure that he is not backed up against the fence.
“I’m gonna use [my height] as I always have, have people fight at the end of my jab,” Miller said in a recent interview. “Stick ‘em till they drop. I just need to be able to potshot a little bit. Have them at the end of my punches and make sure my back isn’t against the fence. And just be able to react when he shoots and level changes.”
Miller (7-0) finished Adam Fugitt in a first-round buzzer-beater in his UFC debut this past January. The undefeated 26-year-old feels the time away has already been too long and wants a quick Octagon return. His opponent, Goff (9-4), enters the matchup needing a win after dropping his last two bouts following his UFC debut victory in 2023.
