Opponent: Carli JudiceUnanimousR3 5:00
UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Hernandez
21 Feb 2026

Miller dropped a clean decision to Carli Judice, who out-boxed her over the first two rounds behind a heavier jab and sharper footwork. Miller's best answer came in a wild third round, when a takedown and a body-triangle choke attempt nearly turned the fight, but two of the three judges still gave the round to Judice for a lopsided verdict.

Key moments

  • All three judges scored round one and round two for Judice; the fight closed 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 on the cards.
  • Miller's clearest opening came in round three, when a takedown and a tight body-triangle choke attempt nearly changed the fight's complexion.
  • Judice controlled the center of the cage and out-landed Miller on the feet for most of the three rounds.

UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Figueiredo
3 May 2025

Miller lost the opening round on the feet but adjusted to a clinch-and-takedown gameplan, taking Ivana Petrovic down in rounds two and three and riding out back control for a unanimous decision. She came close to a finish late, working a rear-naked choke and a neck crank in round three before the horn.

Key moments

  • Petrovic won round one 10-9 on all three cards after stuffing Miller's early takedown attempts from the clinch.
  • Miller reversed the fight with takedowns in rounds two and three, controlling from back mount for long stretches.
  • The fight ended 29-28 for Miller on all three scorecards.

Opponent: Luana SantosPunchesR1 3:41
UFC on ESPN: Luque vs. dos Anjos
12 Aug 2023

Miller was finished for the first time as a pro, dropped and stopped inside the first round by promotional newcomer Luana Santos. Santos rocked her with a right hand, briefly settled for a guillotine attempt on the mat, then got back to her feet and closed the show against the fence with a sustained punching flurry.

Key moments

  • It was Santos's promotional debut, her first UFC win and her first pro knockout.
  • Referee Jason Herzog stopped the fight as Miller absorbed a prolonged flurry against the fence.
  • It made Santos the first fighter to finish Miller as a professional.

Opponent: Veronica HardyUnanimousR3 5:00
UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3
18 Mar 2023

Miller lost every round on the cards against returning veteran Veronica Hardy, who mixed distance striking with top control and defended a string of Miller submission attempts — an armbar, a kimura and a kneebar among them. Hardy, fighting for the first time under her married name after competing as Veronica Macedo, closed out a clean sweep on all three scorecards.

Key moments

  • All three judges scored the fight 30-27 for Hardy.
  • Miller attacked multiple submissions from her back across the fight — an armbar, a kimura and a kneebar — without finishing any of them.
  • Hardy was returning from more than three years away from the Octagon.

Key moments

  • All three judges had Miller ahead through the first two rounds before the finish.
  • Miller stopped Walker with punches and elbows at 3:57 of round three.
  • The win made Miller the Season 30 women's flyweight tournament champion.

Opponent: Kaytlin NeilKimuraR2 3:34
The Ultimate Fighter Season 30 Semifinals
10 Mar 2022

Miller booked her spot in the TUF 30 women's flyweight final by pressuring Kaytlin Neil for two rounds — walking her down, working the jab and repeatedly dragging the fight to the mat — before finishing her with a kimura in round two. She controlled long stretches on the ground in round one, including a body-triangle back-control sequence, and closed the fight after catching Neil's arm in a scramble.

Key moments

  • Miller pressed Neil to the fence early, traded knees in the clinch, then took her back and briefly locked in a body triangle before Neil scrambled out; the round still went Miller's way on volume from mount and off her own back.
  • In round two, Miller used a trip at the midway point to put the fight back on the mat, passed to mount and worked shoulder strikes and elbows.
  • Neil's scramble out of mount put her arm where Miller wanted it — Miller caught it and locked on a fight-ending kimura.
  • Miller dedicated the win "for the broken, the beaten, the damned" afterward and advanced to face Brogan Walker in the TUF 30 final.

Opponent: Claire GuthrieUnanimousR3 5:00
Invicta on AXS TV - Rodriguez vs. Torquato
21 May 2021

Guthrie handed Miller her first professional loss by unanimous decision at Invicta on AXS TV, using clinch striking and balance along the fence to blunt Miller's takedown pressure. Miller broke through with a kimura grip to drag Guthrie down in round two and briefly took her back, but Guthrie scrambled free and answered with clean strikes; a third-round right hand from Guthrie wobbled Miller before the fight went to the mat again with no finish for either side.

Key moments

  • Miller pushed for takedowns from the opening bell, but Guthrie's balance and clinch knees and elbows along the fence kept the fight standing through round one.
  • Miller latched onto a kimura in round two to drag Guthrie to the mat and briefly took her back, only for Guthrie to scramble up and land clean counters.
  • A heavy right hand from Guthrie wobbled Miller in round three; Miller answered by taking the fight down and hunting several submissions without finishing one before the horn.
  • All three judges scored it for Guthrie — 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28.

Opponent: Kendal HolowellArmbarR1 2:49
Invicta FC 43 - King vs. Harrison
20 Nov 2020

Miller spoiled Kendal Holowell's professional debut at Invicta FC 43, submitting her with a first-round armbar. Holowell ducked under Miller's opening strikes to force a clinch and worked her down along the cage twice, but Miller stayed active off her back — hunting an armbar, then a leg lock — before baiting Holowell into a bad position on the second takedown and transitioning straight into the fight-ending armbar.

Key moments

  • Holowell ducked under Miller's early strikes, clinched, and drove the fight down along the fence.
  • From the bottom, Miller was the busier fighter, hunting an armbar and then a leg lock before Holowell escaped and went back to her takedown attack.
  • Miller answered a second Holowell takedown with short elbows before baiting her into overextending and sliding straight into the armbar.
  • The tap came at 2:49 of round one, spoiling Holowell's professional debut.

The Read

Style, strengths, and where this fighter stands.

Miller is a submission-first grappler out of San Diego and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt who won The Ultimate Fighter Season 30 women's flyweight tournament, stopping Brogan Walker in the third round of the finale for a UFC contract. Five of her six career wins have come by finish — a TKO and four submissions — built on a scrambling top game that chains takedowns into back control and chokes.
