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 promotionâs 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 rĂ©sumĂ©, Miller returns in November to further cement his status as the UFCâs Iron Man. The New Jersey native currently holds the record for most fights (44) and most wins (26) in the UFC, but after a disappointing outing against King Green at UFC 300, Miller undoubtedly wants to get 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 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 goes 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
Thought that said 45 more drugs 
I donât see any surgical scar from having his pec reattached? Are there better pics that show that? I donât have any social media
I like how the whole reasoning of theirs is âits not fair to Stipe if Jon fights Aspinallâ
And talking about him how great he still is and is the greatest HW around. Not wasâŠis.

Weidman comes to collect a paycheck?
UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is underway with his preparations for his long awaited return at UFC 309 in November.
âBonesâ will be making the first defense of his title against the former champion Stipe Miocic in what is likely to be the final fight of his career. Jones has been able to build a small but closely knit team around him since moving up to heavyweight but in order to keep it fresh, he was seen getting some new looks in a recent video.
The former light heavyweight champion was seen working alongside Olympic gold medallist Gable Steveson who has hinted at competing in MMA in the past.
After winning gold in wrestling at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Steveson has tried his hand at professional wrestling and football but is clearly taking an interest in mixed martial arts. If this is going to be a potential career move for him, why not jump in at the deep end by grappling with the consensus greatest that MMA has ever seen.
Jon Jones Trains With Gable Steveson
In the multiple training videos posted by Jones on social media, one particular exchange nearly ends very badly for Steveson.
âBonesâ goes for a single leg and when Steveson escapes, he goes immediately for the same technique on Jones, lunging towards his legs. Whether he did it instinctually or didnât mean to actually connect, Jones throws a knee as a counter which lands but fortunately, doesnât do much damage.
The heavyweight champion immediately asks him if heâs okay and breaks the clinch as the two men laugh about it. It certainly would have been a rough welcome to mixed martial arts if Steveson had been hit by a knee that had even a little bit more power behind it.
Donât think it will happen, but Iâd love to see Stipe get the KO.
