Miller Tops UFC Vegas Payouts With $208k

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

It was a very good weekend for longtime UFC workhorse Jim Miller.

The gritty lightweight veteran, who turns 37 in August, scored a slick submission win over Roosevelt Roberts on the UFC on ESPN 11 main card last weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, which coupled with his “Performance of the Night” bonus, left “A-10” with a cool $258,000 payout.

Not too shabby.

In the UFC on ESPN 11 main event, heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes bagged $180,000 for second place, thanks to his unanimous decision win over Alexander Volkov. Third place belonged to featherweight bruiser Josh Emmett, who collected $152,000 — plus bonus — for outlasting Shane Burgos.
