All-time UFC wins leader Jim Miller returns to action on Nov. 16 when he faces Damon Jackson in a lightweight bout at UFC 309, which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Wednesday with bout agreements issued for the fight.
With a long list of accolades already on his resume, Miller returns in November to further cement his status as the UFC’s Iron Man. The New Jersey native currently holds the record for most fights and most wins in the UFC but after a disappointing outing against King Green at UFC 300, Miller undoubtedly wants to back on track when he returns in November.
As for Jackson, the 36-year-old veteran goes back to lightweight for his next fight after primarily competing at 145 pounds for the majority of his career. It was after a decision loss to Chepe Mariscal back in August that Jackson decided the cut to featherweight was just taking too much away from him.
Now he’ll go to 155 pounds with a tough test awaiting him in Miller.
Miller vs. Jackson is the latest addition to the UFC 309 fight card with heavyweight champion Jon Jones defending his title against Stipe Miocic in the main event.
