A fight between two middleweights in need of a win has been added to UFC 146, the annual Memorial Day weekend card in Las Vegas: Jason “Mayhem” Miller vs. C.B. Dollaway.
The fight was announced on Saturday evening by the UFC.
“Ultimate Fighter runner-up C.B. ‘The Doberman’ Dollaway has verbally agreed to face recent Ultimate Fighter coach Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller in a middleweight bout at UFC 146 this May in Las Vegas,” UFC President Dana White said in a statement at UFC.com.
Miller is coming off an ugly loss to his opposing Ultimate Fighter coach, Michael Bisping, in the Ultimate Fighter Finale. Miller looked so bad in that fight that White hinted it could be Miller’s last fight in the Octagon, but the UFC has decided to give him another chance. Dollaway went 0-2 in 2011, getting finished by both Jared Hamman and Mark Munoz. The loser of the Miller-Dollaway fight may be out of work afterward.
UFC 146 takes place May 26 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. No other fights have been announced for the card, but it is expected to be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem.
