Jim Miller, the all-time UFC wins leader, will face Damon Jackson in a lightweight bout at UFC 309 on November 16 at Madison Square Garden, as Jackson moves up from featherweight following a recent loss.
Jim Miller, the all-time UFC wins leader, is stepping back into the octagon on Nov. 16. He’ll be facing off against Damon Jackson in a lightweight bout at UFC 309. And where’s this showdown happening? Madison Square Garden in New York, of course.
The buzz is real! Multiple insiders confirmed to MMA Fighting that bout agreements are already in play for this matchup. Exciting times ahead!
Miller’s got a resume that’s hard to beat, and he’s not slowing down. November’s fight is another chance for him to solidify his Iron Man status in the UFC. Despite a hiccup against King Green at UFC 300, Miller’s determined to make a comeback.
Now, let’s talk about Jackson. At 36, he’s making a shift back to lightweight after mostly fighting at 145 pounds. Why the change? A decision loss to Chepe Mariscal in August made him rethink cutting down to featherweight.
Adding spice to the UFC 309 card, Miller vs. Jackson joins a lineup featuring heavyweight champ Jon Jones defending his title against Stipe Miocic. It’s shaping up to be an epic night!
