Jim Miller responds to speculation on his “50/50” fighting odds against Brock Lesnar
Jim Miller recently gave his reaction to Anthony Smith's hot take regarding a potential bout between himself vs. Brock Lesnar.
On an episode of the Believe You Me podcast last week, 'Lionheart' boldly claimed that Miller would have a "50/50" chance of defeating Lesnar should they ever face-off in the octagon.
Miller was then asked for his thoughts on Smith's comments during the UFC Vegas 84 media day. He said:
“Of course [I agree]. I’m glad he throws me in there. As a fighter, years ago, Ronda [Rousey] said she could beat Cain [Velasquez] and that’s a difficult fight, but the mentality has to be there.
“When you start walking to the Octagon, it is the loneliest place on the planet. I firmly believe in training like an up-and-comer, training like the guy you’re fighting is better than you and they are doing more than you and doing it better than you are. The moment it’s fight day, you have to be the most confident person on the planet.”
