Whitney Miller – Miss USA 2021 and Jiu-Jitsu
It is rare to find a combination of beauty and brawn, but the former Miss USA Whitney Miller certainly fits the description. Having earned a title in the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world, Miller is currently under training for Brazilian jiu-jitsu with the aim of winning a black belt.
Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Miller has had a highly diverse athletic journey with wakeboarding, MMA, and boxing added to the mix. With her current training, she is aspiring to become a fitness model and a professional wake surfer.
She has received her share of criticism as well, where people questioned her physical strength and suggested that she is using her gorgeous looks to get ahead in the competition. With her determination, however, she has put a lot of the negative publicity to sleep by bringing home a gold and silver after her first Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament. And we’re sure there’s more to come!
