Milliken was born in Portland, Maine. He graduated from Gorham high school in Gorham, Maine in 2007.
Milliken played some football in middle school and high school but didn't find a sport he truly had a passion for until he found mixed martial arts. Through a close friend he heard about Academy Mixed Martial arts in Portland, ME where he started attending BJJ and Muay Thai classes and received his blue belt in BJJ.
After a little over a year Milliken found his way to the cage for his first amateur fight which was awarded both fight of the night, and later, fight of the month for the New England area, a first for an amateur fight.
Eventually Milliken found his way to Las Vegas and Warrior Training Center, where he received a purple belt in BJJ.
Milliken made his pro debut on January 23, 2010 and won with a first round armbar.More Detail...
