A featherweight bout has been added to UFC on FS1 on August 17th as Cole Miller will meet Manny Gamburyan.
UFC officials announced the fight booking on Tuesday evening and the bout will take place on the preliminary card.
UFC on FS1 #1 will take place from the TD Garden in Boston and will be headlined by former UFC champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua meeting Chael Sonnen in a five round light heavyweight bout.
Miller (19-7) recently snapped a two fight losing streak at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale against Bart Palaszewki. He won the fight by submission in the first round and it was his 14th career win by submission.
Gamburyan (12-7) snapped a three fight losing streak in his last fight at UFC on FOX 4 against Michihiro Omigawa with a decision victory. He was scheduled to compete at UFC 157 and UFC on FX 8, but injuries forced him to pull out of the fights.
