Injury Forces Maynard Out: Jim Miller Agrees to Face Joe Lauzon | UFC News

UFC officials reveal Gray Maynard is sidelined from his UFC 155 bout opposite Joe Lauzon due to an injury.

Jim Miller will be stepping in for Maynard to face Lauzon.  It’s uncertain if this bout will remain a title eliminator.

Maynard earned a “W” via split decision opposite Clay Guida this past June as the main event at UFC on FX4

Miller comes from a violent defeat opposite Nate Diaz via guillotine submission at UFC on Fox 3. 

UFC 155 is the last event in 2012, taking place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on December 29th.

  3. John M says:

    FUCCCKKKKKK!!!!! I was so happy when I heard Maynard was gonna fight Joe. Joe is a great guy and a humble one and deserved to fight Maynard and show what he’s really made of. Regardless he can still show how good he really is against Miller!
