"Consider that done" - Dana White makes epic promise to book legendary fighter for UFC 300 who also fought on UFC 200 and UFC 100
Dana White seems keen to have one of the most tenured lightweights in company history fight at UFC 300.
The UFC CEO has been steadily booking fights for the company's looming mega card as many celebrate the holidays with loved ones.
Speaking to Adam Catterall of TNT Sports prior to UFC 296, White had a positive reaction to the host suggesting that Jim Miller fight at UFC 300. The 40-year-old Miller fought at both UFC 100 and UFC 200.
The two would end up shaking on it, and White played around by saying Merry Christmas and suggested he would facilitate giving that gift to Catterall. As they were conversing about this potential April booking, White said:
"That is a great story. That is a great story... I'll get that done for you... I'll get Jim Miller on the card for you. Consider that done... Text Mick [Maynard] and Sean [Shelby] and tell him we need Jim Miller on UFC 300 so I don't forget."

Dana White and how long he's been promoting Jim Miller
Dana White's respect for Jim Miller seemed evident in how he handled the UFC 300 question. It makes sense as the promoter has been featuring Miller for over 15 years.
The New Jersey native debuted with the organization at UFC 89 in October 2008 after cutting his teeth in CFFC and IFL while also winning the Ring of Combat 155-pound belt.
Miller bested David Baron via third-round rear naked choke and has had a marvelous career in the octagon since then. He has secured wins over fighters like Donald Cerrone, Clay Guida, Thiago Alves, Joe Lauzon, Takanori Gomi, and Charles Oliveira, to name a few.
'A-10' has also shared the cage with big names like Nate Diaz, Benson Henderson, Beneil Dariush, Dustin Poirier, Anthony Pettis, and Dan Hooker.
