Jim Miller and Clay Guida are two of the most tenured UFC fighters in promotion history, and now they will square off against each other.
A lightweight bout between Miller and Guida is nearly finalized for UFC Newark on Aug. 3 in Newark, New Jersey, ESPN reported Saturday night.
Miller, who has a record 32 fights in the UFC, is coming off a first-round submission of Jason Gonzalez at UFC Fort Lauderadale in April. He is 2-1 in his last two. His last four fights have all ended inside the distance.
Guida was last seen in a unanimous decision win over former UFC two-division champion B.J. Penn last month. In that bout, “The Carpenter” bounced back from a submission loss to Charles Oliveira just over a year ago. Guida, who has 27 UFC fights himself, is 3-1 in his last four dating back to early 2017.
No other fights have been announced for UFC Newark, which is scheduled to take place at Prudential Center and air on ESPN.
