Jim Miller will be making his 46th walk to the octagon at home.
Miller takes on Jared Gordon in a lightweight bout at UFC 328 on May 9 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. (Paramount+). The pair were scheduled to fight at UFC on ESPN 46 in June 2023, but Gordon was pulled when he wasn’t medically cleared to fight.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Miller (38-19 MMA, 27-18 UFC), 42, has won three of his past five bouts. After extending his UFC record for most wins in company history by submitting Damon Jackson at UFC 309, Miller dropped a unanimous decision to Chase Hooper at UFC 314 last April.
Gordon (21-8 MMA, 9-7 UFC) has also split his past two appearances. After knocking out Thiago Moises last May, the 37-year-old New York native was stopped by Rafa Garcia at UFC Fight Night 259 this past September.
