Miller Saves UFC Career With Submission At Vegas 120

Juliana Miller stopped her three-fight skid with a second-round rear-naked choke of Ravena Oliveira at UFC Vegas 120 on Saturday night at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas.

Miller entered the card with a 1-3 record in her last four outings, putting the former Ultimate Fighter winner's roster spot in jeopardy. She drew an opponent riding her own losing streak in Oliveira, who had dropped three straight, per MMA Mania. Miller controlled the action from the opening bell, using her wrestling to pin Oliveira to the mat for most of the first round.

The second round followed the same script until Miller dragged Oliveira to the canvas and transitioned to back mount. Miller locked in the rear-naked choke and forced the tap, ending a skid that dated back to her 2022 TUF season victory. After the finish, Miller grabbed the microphone and spoke emotionally about the wildfires burning in Spokane, Washington.

The flyweight bout aired on Paramount Plus as part of the promotion's revamped broadcast deal. Miller's win likely keeps her on the roster heading into the fall schedule.
