Ernest 'The Cat' Miller is best remembered for his tenure in WCW during the Monday Night Wars. Known for his dance move and karate kicks ⁠— if nothing else 'The Cat' was certainly memorable.

Miller was an outstanding all-around athlete who was an All-American linebacker in college. Moreover, the karate background that WCW commentators often mentioned was indeed legit. He's a three-time world karate champion and was also kickboxer. In fact, he even served as a karate instructor for a young Garrett Bischoff back in the day.

Granted, karate isn't a style that has traditionally had a ton of success in high-level MMA. That being said, it often makes for exciting fights. Moreover, Miller has the type of dance moves that could have given Israel Adesanya a run for his money in terms of flashy entrances.

While the now 56-year-old probably wouldn't have captured UFC gold, it's not hard to imagine him achieving stardom as an entertaining action fighter way back when.
