Jim Miller gets 30th UFC fight, meets Alex White at UFC 228 in Dallas
The UFC’s return to Dallas in September features a pair of title fights atop the bill, as well as a new lightweight bout.
Veteran Jim Miller (28-12 MMA, 17-11 UFC) is set to take on Alex White (12-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC) in a lightweight bout at UFC 228. The promotion announced the new booking today.
UFC 228 takes place Sept. 8 at American Airlines Arena in Dallas. The main card, including the newly announced welterweight title fight headliner between champ Tyron Woodley and challenger Darren Till, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Miller will step into the octagon for the 30th time. Officially, he has 28 bouts on his resume with a no-contest agaisnt Pat Healy in 2013. But he’ll be looking to get back on track from the worst skid of his career with four straight losses.
Miller had a rough stretch of four setbacks in five fights between mid-2014 and March 2016. But he rebounded with three straight wins over Takanori Gomi, Joe Lauzon and Thiago Alves. Since then, though, he has suffered decision losses to Dustin Poirier, former lightweight champ Anthony Pettis and Francisco Trinaldo, and in April he was knocked out by Dan Hooker in the first round.
Alex White
White needs to get back on track, as well. After starting his career a perfect 10-0, including a bonus-winning knockout in his promotional debut over Estevan Payan, he has dropped four of his past six. Most recently, he couldn’t build on a TKO over Mitch Clarke when he lost a decision to James Krause in January.
With the addition, the UFC 228 card now includes:
- Champ Tyron Woodley vs. Darren Till – for welterweight title
- Champ Nicco Montano vs. Valentina Shevchenko – for women’s flyweight title
- Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Yair Rodriguez
- Jessica Andrade vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz
- Cody Stamann vs. Aljamain Sterling
- Carla Esparza vs. Tatiana Suarez
- John Dodson vs. Jimmie Rivera
- Jim Miller vs. Alex White
- Ryan Benoit vs. Roberto Sanchez
- Charles Byrd vs. Darren Stewart
- Frank Camacho vs. Geoff Neal
