A lightweight contest between former divisional champion Anthony Pettis and Jim Miller is set to take place at UFC 213.
MMAFighting.com confirmed an initial report from Brazilian outlet Combate.
Pettis (19-6) will be returning to the lightweight division following a two fight stint at featherweight. At 145lbs, “Showtime” defeated Charles Oliveira by submission before being stopped by Max Holloway in a vacant featherweight title fight. Pettis missed weight in his second featherweight bout.
Miller (28-9 1NC) is coming off a Fight of the Night performance against Dustin Poitier at UFC 208, where he lost via majority decision. Prior to the loss, the 33/year-old had put together three victories, topping Takanori Gomi, Joe Lauzon, and finally Thiago Alves.
UFC 213 takes place live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 8.
