UFC fan favorite Donald Cerrone will step in on days’ notice to face the veteran Jim Miller at UFC 276 on July 2.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto was among the first to report the news of the Cerrone/Miller booking.
Cerrone will fill in for Bobby Green, who withdrew from the fight for undisclosed reasons. He has been waiting for a fight as two separate bookings of a matchup with Joe Lauzon have been called off in the last month.
Cerrone was supposed to face Lauzon at UFC 274 last month before suffering from food poisoning on fight day. The UFC then booked the matchup for UFC Austin before Lauzon suffered a knee injury just after weigh-ins.
Cerrone’s last fight came against Alex Morono in May 2021, losing via first-round TKO. He’s gone winless over his last six fights, including defeats to Conor McGregor and Justin Gaethje.
Cerrone will face a resurgent Miller who is tied with him for the most UFC wins in the promotion’s history. He has won back-to-back fights over Nikolas Motta and Erick Gonzalez in the Octagon.
Cerrone made his UFC debut back in 2011 while Miller made his promotional debut just three years earlier in 2008.
UFC 276 will conclude International Fight Week in Las Vegas, NV. The pay-per-view will be headlined by middleweight champion Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier, and co-headlined by Alexander Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway 3.

Next weekend’s UFC 276 lightweight pairing between division veterans, Bobby Green and Jim Miller is officially off – with Miller remaining on the Las Vegas, Nevada pay-per-view event, however, drawing former opponent, Donald Cerrone in a short notice showdown at the welterweight limit.
As per an initial report from ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto, as per UFC officials, San Bernardino native, Green is out of next weekend’s scheduled matchup with Miller due to undisclosed reasons – with Donald Cerrone drafting in on just over a week’s notice to rematch the New Jersey native.

First sharing the Octagon back in July 2014 as part of a main event bout on a UFC Fight Night Atlantic City card, Donald Cerrone managed to stop Jim Miller with an opening round high kick knockout victory as part of an eventual eight fight run of consecutive victories.
Riding a two-fight winning run of his own, Miller managed to score his second straight knockout win back in February against Nikolas Motta – stopping the newcomer with a knockout to add to an Erick Gonzalez finish last October.
Donald Cerrone was scheduled to feature at UFC Austin last weekend
Scheduled to make a lightweight division return twice in the last couple of weeks, Cerrone first was forced from a UFC 274 matchup with Joe Lauzon due to food poisoning, before a UFC Austin co-headliner between the two was shelved after Lauzon suffered a knee injury on fight day.
UFC 276 takes place on July 2. from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada – with an undisputed middleweight title fight between reigning champion, Israel Adesanya and the #2 ranked Jared Cannonier slated to take main event honors.

UFC veteran Joe Lauzon wants to make his previously scheduled fight with Donald Cerrone come to fruition and he isn’t interested in anyone else.
Lauzon pulled out of his UFC Austin bout against Cerrone after his knee locked up on him shortly after weigh-ins. The two were supposed to fight earlier this year at UFC 274 before Cerrone pulled out after suffering from food poisoning.
UFC President Dana White said following UFC Austin that the promotion wouldn’t attempt to book the Lauzon/Cerrone pairing for the third time. But Lauzon doesn’t seem interested in any other adversary at the moment.
During a recent interview with MMA on SiriusXM, Lauzon confirmed that Cerrone is the only potential opponent on his radar for a UFC return.
“I definitely want this fight now,” Lauzon said. “We spent too much time getting ready for Cowboy to not go and see it through. For me right now, it’s Cowboy or bust…. that’s the fight I want, I think that’s the fight he wants. I understand it sucks the way it’s worked out, and I’m sure Dana is upset with how it worked out. But I guarantee you Cowboy and I are way more upset because we’ve put in way more effort than the UFC has. I think it should still happen. I think just because it didn’t work the first two times, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work out the third time.”
Lauzon earned a shot in the UFC following an impressive run on The Ultimate Fighter: Season 5, competing alongside the likes of Nate Diaz and Manny Gamburyan. He’s earned wins over the likes of Michael Chiesa and Jeremy Stephens during his Octagon tenure.
Lauzon’s last fight came against Jonathan Pearce in Oct. 2019, earning a first-round TKO win. While the promotion doesn’t seem enthused with the idea of booking Lauzon/Cerrone once again, it seems that Lauzon is laser-focused on the matchup finally coming to fruition.
Do you think we’ll finally see Joe Lauzon vs. Donald Cerrone?
