Dan Miller Meets Nick Catone In Battle for New Jersey Pride at UFC 128

Quote :

A pair of New Jersey middleweights will meet up at UFC 128 in their home state as Dan Miller has agreed to face Nick Catone in a bout on the card slated to take place on March 19 in Newark, NJ.

The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the fight on Wednesday. AMA Fight Club leader Mike Constantino first confirmed the booking via Twitter.

After suffering three losses in a row, Dan Miller (13-4) turned things around by winning his last two fights. A submission over John Salter and a decision win over Joe Doerksen put Miller back on the winning track.

The AMA Fight Club fighter trains in New Jersey along side his brother Jim, who is also expected to fight on the UFC 128 card in March.

Carrying similar home state pride into the fight in March will be fellow New Jersey native Nick Catone (8-2) returning to action for the first time in over a year.

The last time Catone stepped into the Octagon, he defeated Jesse Forbes by split decision, and then had to deal with some injuries that kept him out of the cage for the rest of 2010. Now healthy, Catone will look to repeat his last performance and get a win in March.

The bout between Miler and Catone is likely to be part of the untelevised prelims for the UFC 128 card in New Jersey.

I was at the Brick house bar and grill Saturday night. They had the fights on and was promoting Nicks new MMA school. Nick looked to be in real good shape. He had no idea who he would be facing at that time.

I like Dan Miller in this fight but it should be a good 1. Makes the Rua/Evans card alittle deeper.

EDIT *** I didnt read the second part of the text. Fight Renzo Gracie teammate and friend Dan Miller....... My bad

Let me know when you'll be out watching the fights again in that area.

good fight but is it me or do the millers get shit on wjen it comes to getting a step up in competition.

Jim maybe, but Dan was riding a 3 fight losing streak before that last win I believe. He needs a couple wins

he has back to back wins not saying he's great but nick catone off a year layoff I think it's a fight that miler will have a hard time losing.

I think Miller will have some trouble with Catone.
