For ppl saying Sage is gonna get eaten alive against top competition, you're assuming he's not gonna get better. Like he's done learning at 19. Bring him along slow. Let him ripen.

That's hardly true. Prime doesn't have an age, really. Especially for a guy who started so young. He started really early, so he might be out really early. You never know.

It feels like it's been ages since I last saw Jim Miller fight.  When was his last fight before this one?

If he fights a lot and accumulates damage, he may be at the tail end of his career at 29, but who knows?

Miller is one of my favorites. I hate seeing him lose. Big win for Chiesa, though.

Good for Chiesa. He's now usurped Jim Miller and has become the ....new...Jim Miller of the division.

Jim Miller is just too small to be a top lightweight and todays MMA scene ... and at this stage most likely too slow to be a top featherweight in today's MMA scene.
