6 Bouts Official for UFC 128

Kamal Shalorus | Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com

An AMA Fight Club representative, Miller will carry a six-fight winning streak into the match. The 27-year-old Sparta, N.J., native last appeared at UFC 124 in December, when he submitted Brazilian prospect Charles Oliveira with a first-round kneebar at the Bell Centre in Montreal. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Miller has delivered more than half (11) of his 19 career victories by submission. The only two blemishes on his resume have come in unanimous decision defeats to current UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and the unbeaten Gray Maynard. Miller owns a stellar 8-1 mark inside the Octagon.

Shalorus has not fought since he eked out a split decision against International Fight League veteran Bart Palaszewski at WEC 53 in December. Partial to wild, winging exchanges, the Iranian-born lightweight brings heavy hands into the cage, along with international wrestling experience. Two of Shalorus’ nine professional bouts have ended in draws, including his controversial June encounter with former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner.

A light heavyweight title bout pairing champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua with the world-ranked Rashad Evans will headline UFC 128, along with a pivotal bantamweight duel pitting former WEC titleholders Urijah Faber and Eddie Wineland against one another. The event will also play host to a pair of lightweight matchups -- Edson Mendes Barboza Jr. vs. Anthony Njokuani and Kurt Pellegrino vs. Gleison Tibau -- and a key bantamweight battle between Joseph Benavidez and Ian Loveland.
