Adam Fugitt vs Ty Miller Preview
This fight pits the seasoned veteran Adam Fugitt against the undefeated newcomer Ty Miller on the early prelims of UFC 324. Fugitt comes in with twice as many professional fights, with victories by knockout, submission, and decision. But he also carries five losses and has dropped three of his five career bouts since joining the UFC roster. His southpaw stance and his striking give him the tools to mix up his offense and challenge explosive fighters like Miller. But Fugitt is a sizable underdog here and will try to overcome those odds to get a much-needed victory.
Ty Miller arrives as an undefeated welterweight prospect, getting a win in Dana White’s Contender Series to earn a deal leading up to his UFC debut. At 25 years of age, Miller has the physical attributes of an agile and rangy fighter with solid height for the division and good striking volume. Though he has yet to face the level of competition that Fugitt has encountered, Miller’s undefeated status and confidence at this stage of his career cannot be overstated.
The big question going into this fight is whether or not Miller can continue to fight at a high level in his first experience on a stage like this. There is a huge difference between beating up on competition in the Contender Series and in lower-level promotions and winning at the UFC level. This is a good chance for Miller to prove that he will not succumb to any nerves in UFC.
