The two fighters met in the final prelim bout at CFFC 125 in New Town, North Dakota, with each man making their respective debut for the New Jersey-based promotion.
Miller entered the night having won both of his previous bouts via first-round stoppage after he turned pro late last year, and the Xtreme Couture-trained fighter needed less than a minute to get things done against Wiest with the most impressive win of his career so far.

The unbeaten fighter put Wiest on the retreat by faking a kick in order switch stances, and after a quick shuffle forward Miller he landed a picture-perfect head kick that sent “The Native Nightmare” stiff as he fell backwards and bounced off the fence.
Miller realized the fight was over the moment that Wiest hit the mat, and he calmly raised his hands in victory before walking off to celebrate a finish that was reminiscent of Kevin Lee's head kick against Gregor Gillespie at UFC 244.
The loss marks the third time that Wiest has been stopped with strikes out of his four pro bouts, while Miller added another finish to his highlight reel after he also went a perfect 6-0 as an amateur and won by stoppage in four of those fights.
