Oliveira bounces around the cage endlessly waiting for the action to start. The 21-year-old looks like he can't wait to fight.
Round 1: Oliveira drops down for a takedown early, which Miller easily stops. Miller goes for the takedown against the cage. Oliveira tries a guillotine. Nothing doing on that front. Oliveira is very active from his back, looking for a stray arm or anything available. He tries an arm bar, once, then twice. Miller escapes both. During a scramble, Miller goes for a kneebar and cinches it in. Oliveira taps. That's six wins in a row for Miller, who is quietly among the UFC's lightweight elite.
Winner: Jim Miller via kneebar submission, Rd. 1 (1:59)
In his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Miller proclaims himself one of the best and asks UFC matchmaker Joe Silva for a chance to fight for the belt.
