Jim Miller returns at UFC 328, fighting again after his teenage son beat rare cancer

MORRISTOWN: Jim Miller built his MMA career — his reputation, really — on durability and reliability on his way to a record UFC fight total and to becoming the promotion’s career wins leader. Hefty marks — even without winning a championship — for the New Jersey native trusted enough to get plugged into most of UFC’s milestone cards in its rise into a billion-dollar global sports behemoth. “I’m not just out there just to win,” Miller said of his fight style. “I’m out there to win to make me happy; to make me excited with the way that happens.” Miller’s joy was dimmed over the last year when his teenage son was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer.

Djokovic falls in Italian Open second round to qualifier Prizmic

ROME: Novak Djokovic was eliminated from the Italian Open in the second round on Friday by Croatian qualifier Dino Prizmic 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was making his comeback from a shoulder injury in the last big tournament before the French Open. Djokovic was playing for the first time since losing in the last 16 at Indian Wells in March, having pulled out of tournaments in Miami, Monte Carlo and Madrid. The 38-year-old had not been knocked out this early in a tournament since the Madrid Open last year, and looked a long way from the player who has won six Rome titles. Playing with a shoulder brace, Djokovic had breezed through the first set helped by Prizmic’s 13 unforced errors. But the world number four’s hitting started to look increasingly tentative as Prizmic rattled off four straight games at the start of the second set with his powerful ground strokes finding their mark. Prizmic came to the Italian capital with a career-high ranking of 79 after reaching the third round in Madrid — beating world number six Ben Shelton in the process — and had also dispatched Marton Fucsovics to set up his clash with Djokovic. The 20-year-old reached the third round of a second consecutive Masters 1000 event with the biggest scalp of his career to date. Djokovic is Prizmic’s idol, and a landmark win gives the young talent a match with either Ugo Humbert or Vit Kopriva and a chance to make the fourth round of a top-tier event on the ATP Tour for the first time.
