A matchup between lightweight submission specialists is set to take place next month.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Jim Miller and Joe Solecki will square off at the UFC’s event on April 10, which currently does not have a venue or location. MMA Junkie was first to report the booking.
Miller will make his first appearance of 2021 after Bobby Green was a late scratch for their scheduled bout at UFC 258 this past month. “A-10” competed three times in 2020 which included a first-round submission win over Roosevelt Roberts, as well as a pair of decision losses to Scott Holtzman and Vinc Pichel. When he steps into the octagon, Miller will take over sole possession of the record for most UFC appearances with 37, surpassing Donald Cerrone.

Ian McCall Memorial Worst Luck Award
Leon Edwards
Let’s be clear, a lot of fighters had some awful luck in 2020. Heck, the vast majority of humanity had some pretty bad luck in 2020. So trying to figure out the recipient for this somewhat infamous award was a bit difficult, and there were plenty of viable choices but ultimately I landed on Leon Edwards. Coming into 2019 Edwards was a top contender in the very deep welterweight division, he was on a great eight fight winning streak that included wins over notable names like Vicente Luque, Donald Cerrone, and former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. He wasn’t just a top ranked fight
