Jim Miller vs. Pat Healy Set For UFC 159

UFC lightweight Jim MIller

Healy vs. Miller slated for for April 27th in New Jersey

Well, Pat Healy won't get Joe Lauzon as he had asked for. Instead he will gget the man who last defeated "J-Lau", New Jersey native Jim Miller at UFC 159.

The bout was announced via the UFC's official twitter:

Also on for #UFC159 - Jersey's own @jimmiller_155 vs Pat @bambamhealy

Miller is of course coming off his phenomenal, yet bloody, decision victory over Lauzon at UFC 155 last month.

Pat "Bam Bam" Healy will be making the the switch from defunct Strikeforce. He last fought at the promotions final event where he defeated Kurt Holobaugh by unanimous decision. This will actually be Healy's second appearance in the UFC as he last fought at UFC Fight Night 6 back in 2006, where lost by submission to Anthony Torres. However, if he is able to defeat the tough as nails Miller, Healy could find himself in the mix in the deep lightweight division.
