Leonard Garcia (10-2) and Cole Miller (12-2) will tangle in a 155-pound preliminary bout on the UFC Fight Night 11 under card, according to a recent press release from SpikeTV.
Both fighters are coming off first-round wins at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5 Finale in June last month. Garcia submitted Allen Berube via rear naked choke and Miller finished Andy Wang with some strikes that were set up with a glancing head kick.
Miller made it to the semifinals of TUF 5, but eventually succumbed to Joe Lauzon after being rattled with an illegal punch to the back of his head. Garcia is perhaps best known for being on the losing side of a three-round war with Roger Huerta at UFC 69.
This match up rounds out the Spike television special, which is set to air on September 19 at 8 p.m. ET and lead into the debut episode of TUF 6.
