Following his victory, Jim Miller was interviewed inside the cage by Michael Bisping and reacted to his win. He said:

“I appreciate the heck out of Jesse, he came in here on just over two days’ notice. I had a great camp, feeling good. When I’m on, I am dangerous for anybody in the world. I put the goal out there to get to [UFC] 300... I want to end my career the way I started my career and that’s fighting as often as I can. At this point in my career, I just want to have good fights.”
