💥 In this exclusive Apex Insider feature, we dive into Tommy’s roots, mindset, and dreams of fighting on Thailand’s biggest stages.

🗣 “Apex gives us a platform to be fighters—from the weigh-ins and walkouts to interviews like this. You guys really take care of us.”


🔥 Life Inside Apex Fight League

For Tommy, Apex is more than a promotion—it’s a place that lets him feel like a true fighter:

🗣 “Apex gives us a platform to be fighters—from the weigh-ins and face-offs to walkouts and interviews. You guys really take care of us.”

When it comes to energy, Apex stands out:

🗣 “It’s amazing. It’s such a great space for fighters to express themselves and put on the best shows for the people.”

Tommy’s favorite Apex moment came when he shared the night with a teammate:

🗣 “Definitely watching my boy Luke Townley go to war—and both of us getting the W in our Apex debuts.”


🧠 The Fighter’s Journey

Tommy’s journey into combat sports started with a love for the game and support from his dad:

🗣 “I always loved combat sports, but didn’t see it as something I could pursue until my dad got me into jiu-jitsu. From there, I knew it was what I wanted to do.”

A defining moment? Joining Legion MMA:

🗣 “Once I made it to Legion MMA, I felt like I finally found a home. The coaches, the team—it’s all amazing. They’ve taken me to the next level.”

But success hasn’t come without sacrifice:

🗣 “Balancing life as an adult with training is tough. Sometimes it feels like I don’t have a life outside of those two. But that’s what I have to go through to make fighting a full-time job.”


🥊 Behind the Scenes: Training & Mindset

Fight camp at Legion MMA doesn’t start—it just ramps up:

🗣 “Nothing new really happens. Legion is a doghouse—we’re always in fight shape. I just pick up the intensity and focus on the techniques I want to showcase.”

The mental grind is real:

🗣 “It’s the waiting. Knowing you have a fistfight scheduled in a month. The weight cut drains you mentally—hungry, thirsty, tired—but we keep going because we love this.”

What keeps him locked in?

🗣 “Just being around the gym and talking with my teammates who’ve been through this before. That helps me stay sharp.”


🚀 What’s Next for Tommy Miller?

While MMA was once the dream, Tommy has found his true love in Muay Thai—and he’s taking that focus all the way to Thailand:

🗣 “I’ve fallen in love with Muay Thai. I’m just grateful Apex gives me a place to go out and do what I love in a full-rules Muay Thai fight.”

His advice to young fighters?

🗣 “Just have fun and focus on the present. Don’t worry about what happened or what will happen—your training got you this far for a reason.”

Where does he see himself in the next few years?

🗣 “Making a name for myself as a pro fighter in Thailand.”
