Dustin Poirier, Brian Ortega, and others react as 41-year-old Jim Miller retires fellow veteran Damon Jackson with guillotine choke in 27th UFC win

Fellow MMA fighters reacted to Jim Miller's impressive UFC 309 win against Damon Jackson. The 41-year-old Miller was a +140 underdog against Jackson but defied the odds to snatch a victory.

The fight was fairly competitive in the stand-up as both men landed a few good shots. However, Jackson tried to take Miller down but was denied. When he dove in for an ill-advised third takedown attempt in Round 1, Miller trapped him in a tight guillotine on the way down. The 36-year-old furiously tapped as soon as Miller's back hit the ground.

This was the 27th win of Miller's UFC career, the most by any fighter in the promotion's history. Meanwhile, Jackson left his gloves inside the octagon before leaving, a customary tradition to announce retirement from the sport.

Notable MMA fighters reacted to Miller's victory and submission skills while praising his longevity in the sport.
