Chase Hooper will look to knock off another legend.
At UFC 314, Hooper (15-3-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will face Jim Miller (38-18 MMA, 27-17 UFC) in a lightweight bout, which takes place April 12 at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup Tuesday informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. X user @McGregorRousey2 first reported the fight Monday.
Hooper, 25, rides a four-fight winning streak into the bout, most recently defeating divisional staple Clay Guida by first-round submission at UFC 310 in December. After the win, Hooper called for a fight vs. Miller.
Miller, 41, is the all-time wins (27) and appearances (45) leader in promotion history. The second longest-tenured fighter on the active roster, Miller has been with the promotion since UFC 89 in October 2008. Despite his longevity, Miller still knows how to rack up wins, with four victories in his most recent five appearances.
With the addition, the UFC 314 lineup includes:
- Virna Jandiroba vs. Yan Xiaonan
- Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes
- Chase Hooper vs. Jim Miller
