Phillip Miller

Phillip Miller (born February 20, 1979) is an American retired mixed martial artist. A professional competitor from 2000 to 2003, he fought in the UFC and various regional promotions, retiring undefeated with a record of 16–0. At the time of his retirement, he was ranked #6 in the world by Fight Matrix.

Early life Miller was born on February 20, 1979, in Utah, and grew up in Hesperia, California. Both of his parents were schoolteachers, and his father served as the wrestling coach at Serrano High School, where Miller began wrestling competitively. Miller qualified for the California state wrestling championships as a junior and finished eighth in the state during his senior year.

Final fight and retirement Miller fought his last bout on March 28, 2003, at HOOKnSHOOT Absolute Fighting Championships 2, defeating Moacir Oliveira by unanimous decision and improving his professional record to 16–0. After witnessing the serious injuries he inflicted on opponents such as Oliveira and Oyama, and mindful of potential long-term damage to his own health, Miller chose to retire from MMA at age 24, citing personal concerns and contractual frustrations with the UFC. He remains one of the few fighters to retire from professional MMA undefeated.

After retiring from mixed martial arts, Miller began a career with the Los Angeles Police Department, becoming a patrol officer in the San Fernando Valley.
