One of the UFC’s most experienced veterans will be taking on an octagon rookie this fall.
A lightweight bout between Jim Miller and Nikolas Motta has been targeted for the UFC’s Sept. 18 fight card at to-be-determined location. MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin and Guilherme Cruz confirmed the news Thursday following an initial report by MMA Junkie.
Miller (32-16) is currently tied for the most bouts in UFC history with 37. The 37-year-old has fallen on hard times of late, dropping three of his last four fights including back-to-back losses at the hands of Vinc Pichel and Joe Solecki in his last two appearances.
