Miller-Hirota featherweight clash added to Fight Night Manila


A featherweight clash pitting UFC veteran Cole “Magrinho” Miller and Japanese standout Mizuto “Pugnus” Hirota has also been added to the stacked UFC Fight Night Manila 2: Lamas vs. Penn, Tuesday afternoon.

Cole Miller (21-10-1, UFC: 10-8-1) is coming off the worst stretch of his career, having suffered two unanimous decision losses and a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke against Jim Alers. Miller has pocketed five “performance of the night” bonuses – four “submission of the night” wins. The 32-year-old American looks to bounce back against one of the most accomplished Japanese fighters today.

Mizuto Hirota (17-7-2, UFC: 0-2-1) recently made his return to the UFC after a draw against Teruto Ishihara in the finals of the Road to UFC: Japan tournament. After a disappointing 0-2 start in the UFC, the Japanese featherweight picked up three straight wins with his home promotion DEEP. The 35-year-old has won numerous belts in Japan including the DEEP, Sengoku, and Cage Force Lightweight Championships.

Other announced bouts for the UFC card that will be held on Saturday, October 15 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena are:
