Fight Path: Olympic medalist Randi Miller brings wrestling pedigree to female MMA
by Kyle Nagel on Jul 29, 2010 at 5:05 pm ET

The difference for Randi Miller came when a roommate put in a University of Iowa wrestling tape.

Before that, the daughter of a firefighter and public relations executive didn't feel like she was reaching her potential in female wrestling after starting the sport as a senior at her Texas high school, where the sport was more accepted for girls.

She was skilled, but she wasn't feeling her best while practicing one step below the main Olympic Training Center. She just felt sluggish, like she wasn't progressing.

Then the boost to her wrestling career – and the motivation that continues to help her train for the beginning of her mixed-martial-arts career – came in the form of a highlight tape from the wrestling roommate.

"It was a documentary on the program," Miller told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "It was about their philosophy and how they viewed matches, and it just changed a lot for me. I saw things totally differently after that, and I was ready to commit myself more."

In the five years since, Miller has become one of the world's best female wrestlers, climbing as far as a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. While she hopes to continue that career, she's also beginning a new one.

After serious MMA-focused training for the past six weeks following years of dabbling, Miller hopes to secure her first professional fight by the fall. Once she begins her MMA career, Miller will be one of the most unique athletes in the sport because she will also be an international competitor in wrestling.

But Miller wants fans to know that she isn't beginning MMA because she's bored or because she's just trying to fill time in between wrestling commitments.

"My goal is to be a champion in both," Miller said. "I really think I can do that."

Why not wrestling?

Miller was not born into a wrestling family, and the sport didn't enter her consciousness for many years.

Her father was a firefighter in Arlington, Texas, but that doesn't mean she attributes her aggressiveness to his job or personality.

"He's just the nicest guy in the world," Miller said. "I have no idea why I am the way I am."

It didn't begin until she was a senior in high school. Before that, Miller was certainly an athlete, in basketball in particular. But wrestling had never entered the picture.

In Texas, though, female wrestling was not taboo. Friends convinced her to be part of the high school wrestling team of two girls, she and another female.

"I had a coach who was really into conditioning, and I won a lot of my matches just from that," Miller said. "I could just keep going and going."

But after finishing as a state runner-up in Texas, where a separate female championship exists, Miller didn't find the same immediate success in college. She went from Kansas' Neosho County Community College to MacMurray College in Illinois to the University of Northern Michigan.

Northern Michigan was significant. It is one of three places in the country designated as a feeder to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. Even while she climbed to that level, Miller felt stagnant - until she saw the Iowa tape.

"At Iowa, the technique was important, but it was behind being in physical shape and the attitude about training and winning," Miller said. "I can't even explain why I liked them as much as I did, but it changed everything."

From then forward, conditioning became a priority. The very next day, Miller changed her style to reflect her new philosophy, focusing on training and mental toughness. It was the start of a quick rise in her wrestling career and, eventually, a bridge into MMA.

Success in one, start of another

In the three years following her discovery of Iowa wrestling, Miller found the rhythm in her wrestling career that eventually included all of the following: 2008 U.S. female wrestler of the year, 2008 Olympics bronze medal, Pan-American champion and Texas wrestling hall of famer.

She hopes that wrestling career can continue into the 2012 Olympics, but she was also looking for a permanent home for her MMA training. The opportunity came after Miller accepted a short-lived position as the wrestling coach at Missouri Baptist University. The situation wasn't a good fit, but the location helped Miller to find her gym in Granite City, Ill. (home to the H.I.T. Squad with fighters such as Matt Hughes and Robbie Lawler), where she was finally comfortable to begin her dedicated training.

"It hasn't been a big shocker because of all I've gone through before," Miller said. "If my legs are burning during practice, I'm used to that. I think wrestling prepared me well."

Now the goal is to find her first fight. Miller believes she can be immediately competitive in MMA, partly because of the training she has endured in wrestling and the stage on which she has appeared in front of the world.

"Overseas, they love it," Miller said of appearing in China. "There were a ton of people watching, there was a ton of excitement."

Miller continued her wrestling training with her connection to the college team at Lindenwood University, where a friend is the coach. Once that team begins its season, Miller will be there training along with it.

But, no matter how much goes into wrestling, MMA will also be a focus for this internationally known competitor. Those around her say she's ready to compete. As for Miller, she says she's ready to be a champion.

"I know things won't be perfect, but just give it some time," Miller said.

It worked for her in wrestling, after all.
