Dan Miller has won some and has lost some, and according to his manager and coach Mike Constantino, “He has had a little bit of a tough road recently.”
“Dan is well versed in all areas. Boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,” said Constantino, “For wrestling, he’s been doing it his whole life. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he’s a black belt. Striking, he’s got good technique, but even more so, he gets in there and he er odd\hits hard and has a good chin.”
Miller´s last three fights appear on his record as loses and each of these fights was an all out war.
“You always take something away from every fight,” said Constantino, “Whether it is a win or a loss, you are always looking to improve from it.”
“Both brothers pride themselves on the fact that they’ve never been finished – whether it is submission or knockout,” Constantino said of Dan Miller, and his younger brother a UFC lightweight fighter, Jim Miller. “They’re very gritty and they come to fight anytime they’re called upon.”
Miller´s manager was informed that in less than a month his fighter would take on Alabama’s John Salter, who has a 5-1 record.
“This was the first opportunity that arose and he jumped all over it. No one who is ultra-competitive like Dan is likes to lose, especially three in a row. He wanted back in there as soon as possible. He’s dying to get in there and fight,” said Constantino.
According to Constantino, Miller is ready, “He’s been training. He’s a professional athlete and it’s his job to always be in training – to always be getting better.”
