Jim Miller books 45th octagon fight vs. Damon Jackson at UFC 309

Jim Miller will look to extend his all-time wins record at UFC 309.

Miller takes on Damon Jackson in a lightweight bout on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie following an initial report from MMA Fighting.

Miller (37-18-1 MMA, 26-17-1 UFC) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to King Green at UFC 300 in April, where he suffered a broken hand and toe in the first round, as well as receiving 23 stitches on his face. Prior to that, Miller scored back-to-back finishes of Jesse Butler and Gabriel Benitez.

Jackson (23-7-1-1 MMA, 6-5-1-1 UFC) will return to lightweight for the first time since 2018. After stringing together a four-fight win streak, the 36-year-old has lost three of his past four, most recently a unanimous decision to Chepe Mariscal at UFC on ESPN 61 in August.
