Jim Miller (11-1) and David Baron (16-2) will lock lock horns in a lightweight affair at UFC 89: "Bisping vs. Leben" at The National Indoor Arena (NIA) in Birmingham, England, on October 18, according to MMAWeekly.com.
This will will mark the first fight inside the Octagon for Miller who has plied his trade primarily in smaller shows throughout New Jersey. In fact, his only loss was a unanimous decision to top 155-pound contender, Frank Edgar.
In his last fight Miller graduated to take on stiffer competition and did not back down, defeating the very tough and experienced Bart Palaszewski via unanimous decision under the International Fight League (IFL) banner back in April
Baron, too, will also be making his Octagon debut. The French fighter stunned the mixed martial arts world recently when he submitted Hayato "Mach" Sakurai with a guillotine choke at a Shooto event in May.
He has strung together five straight wins since a submission loss to Takanori Gomi back in the Pride FC heyday. His only other career loss is to Per Eklund.
UFC 89 is set to air for free on Spike TV, featuring a middleweight showdown between Chris Leben and Michael Bisping, as well as several other solid match ups. To check out the latest UFC 89 card and fight rumors click here.
