Legends never die.
UFC fighter Jim Miller used his victory speech at Madison Square Garden to draw attention to the political case of P'Nut the Squirrel's pet.
Miller extended his own record for most wins ever in the UFC to 27 on Saturday night — but the New Jersey native had other things on his mind when host Joe Rogan caught up with him in a post-fight interview.

“New York, I have one thing to say first. We need justice for P'Nut,” Miller said after quickly submitting his opponent Damon Jackson in the first round with a guillotine choke.
The crowd began to roar — some cheering, others booing the state in anger — at the mention of Pinot, whose home was confiscated and murdered by New York state last month.
“It's not just a squirrel,” Miller continued. “All the children who went hungry that night. And all the other things that money and resources could have been allocated to.
“I hope DOGE cleans things up at the state level,” Miller concluded, referring to the new executive branch project launched by President-elect Trump, Elon Musk, and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
“I like the way you used your victory speech at a political rally,” a confused Joe Rogan replied.
The P'Nut squirrel saga has been a major political catalyst in conservative circles — becoming a pet cause for Elon Musk and even the focus of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
Conservatives have viewed the story as an example of needless government interference and overreach.
Earlier this week, state officials later confirmed that P'Nut had been culled as part of a rabies test.
