"I just really want to whoop his ass," Miller today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I really, really would like to just go in there and smash him... I had to wait two months [after surgery] to find out if [my knee] was going to heal itself. The recovery was about three months, then it took me about two or three months for a training camp. Here we are eight months later... [The UFC] asked me if I'd be interested in Junie. I said, 'Yeah, sure. Why not? Sounds like a good fight to come back to off of a knee surgery.'... A lot of people were talking about him because he's controversial. I think it was a good fight for me to take, but he's definitely a step down for sure, as far as a quality opponent."
