Jim Miller vs. Damon Jackson booked for UFC 309 in New York

UFC all-time wins leader Jim Miller returns to action on November 16 when he takes on Damon Jackson in a lightweight bout at UFC 309, taking place at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Multiple people with knowledge of the action plans confirmed the fight against MMA Fighting on Wednesday with fight agreements issued.

With a long list of accolades already on his resume, Miller returns in November to further cement his status as the UFC's Iron Man. The New Jersey native currently holds the record for most fights and wins in the UFC, but after a disappointing performance against King Green at UFC 300, Miller will no doubt be looking to get back on track when he returns in November.

As for Jackson, the 36-year-old veteran is returning to lightweight for his next fight after competing primarily at 145 pounds for most of his career. After a decision loss to Chepe Mariscal in August, Jackson came to the conclusion that the move to featherweight was simply costing him too much.

Now he will weigh 155 pounds, and a tough test awaits 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.
