One of the fighters at the top of the UFC middleweight division, Dan Miller received his Jiu-Jitsu black belt this week. The belt was delivered by Jamie Cruz, a Renzo Gracie student.

With 11 wins and two losses on his record, Miller won seven by submission – proof the gentle art is is always present during his appearances. And his first test with his new belt has his work cut out for him.

On February 6 the fighter faces Demian Maia at UFC 109, in Las Vegas. In a conversation with GRACIEMAG.com, Demian is taking his opponent’s skills seriously.

“I’ve watched some of his fights and he’s perhaps the most dangerous guy I’ve faced on the ground. He’s a well-rounded fighter, because he is also good standing. This one will be tough,” he said.

    This is proof that black belts in Jiu-Jitsu are given away like raffle tickets these days! Maybe they think by giving Miller a black belt in BJJ that they will somehow do something psycologically to Maia??? LOL… Maia´s on another level when it comes to BJJ and Miller will never be there! Have fun getting your bunda handed to you Miller! Demian all the way!
