It’s never a happy occasion to profit from another person’s misfortune. But in the end, the show must go on.

Dan Miller took a big leap when he agreed to fight
Nate Marquardt at UFC 128 in place of Yoshihiro
Akiyama, who withdrew from Saturday’s event in the wake of the
devastating earthquake in Japan.

So while Miller is excited to get the opportunity to fight the perennial
contender, he said today that it’s a “bittersweet” feeling to fill in.
