LAS VEGAS When I sat down to talk with Jim Miller a few days before his fight with Bobby Green at UFC 300 , I really only had one question: How? How does a person manage to be at a high enough level early on in his career that he gets the call to fight at UFC 100, but also manage to stay healthy, successful and relevant enough to also get the call for UFC 200 and UFC 300? And its not just about the numbers attached to the events. That part is at least somewhat arbitrary. But almost 15 years have passed between UFC 100 and this Saturdays UFC 300 event. Thats a lifetime in this sport. And in the lightweight division, where Miller has spent almost all of his nearly 20-year career, its practically an eternity.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company based in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned and operated by TKO Group Holdings, a majority owned subsidiary of Endeavor Group Holdings. It is the largest MMA promotion in the world as of 2023. It produces events worldwide that showcase 11 weight divisions (eight men's and three women's) and abides by the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts. As of 2022, it had held over 600 events. Dana White has been its president since 2001 and CEO since 2023. Under White's stewardship, it has grown into a global multi-billion-dollar enterprise.The UFC was founded by businessman Art Davie and Brazilian martial artist Rorion Gracie, and the first event was held in 1993 at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado. The purpose of the UFC's early competitions was to identify the most effective martial art in a contest with minimal rules and no weight classes between competitors of different fighting disciplines. In subsequent events, more rigorous rules were created and fighters began adopting effective techniques from more than one discipline, which indirectly helped create a separate style of fighting known as present-day mixed martial arts.The UFC was initially owned by the Semaphore Entertainment Group (SEG) until it had financial issues and it was sold to the brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta in 2001, who formed the company Zuffa to operate the UFC, and placed Dana White as the president of the company. In 2016, UFC's parent company, Zuffa, was sold to a group led by Endeavor, then known as William Morris Endeavor (WME–IMG), including Silver Lake Partners, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and MSD Capital for US$4.025 billion. In 2021, Endeavor bought out Zuffa's other owners at a valuation of $1.7 billion. The organization had 578 fighters contracted as of January 2023.With a TV deal and expansion in Australia, Asia, Europe, and new markets within the United States, the UFC has achieved greater mainstream media coverage. It earned US$609 million in 2015, and its next domestic media rights agreement with ESPN was valued at $1.5 billion over a five-year term.In April 2023, Endeavor Group Holdings announced that UFC would merge with the wrestling promotion WWE to form TKO Group Holdings, a new public company majority-owned by Endeavor, with Vince McMahon serving as an executive chairman of the new entity and White remaining as UFC president. The merger was completed on September 12, 2023.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings, which were introduced in February 2013, are generated by a voting panel made up of media members. These media members are asked to vote for whom they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight class and pound-for-pound. A fighter is only eligible to be voted on if they are of active status in the UFC. A fighter can appear in more than one weight division at a time. The champion and interim champion are considered to be in top positions of their respective divisions and therefore are not eligible for voting by weight class. However, the champions can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.
It has been a bruising last 14 months for Molly McCann, yet you wouldn't know it as she beams with genuine excitement and anticipation ahead of arguably the biggest fight of her career. Back-to-back defeats have turned the heat up on McCann for her UFC contest against Diana Belbita on Saturday evening but the Liverpudlian is far from a woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders or feeling like she has a point to prove. Speaking to Sky Sports a few days out from her Las Vegas showdown, she was relaxed, measured and a picture of calm as she proclaimed being "in the shape of my life". Dropping down a weight class to strawweight for the first time in her career has clearly given the 33-year-old a spring in her step. McCann says it was the morning after her first-round shock flyweight defeat to Julija Stoliarenko at a packed-out O2 Arena in London last July that she considered her next steps with coach Paul Rimmer and what needed to happen to get her career back on track.
