Lightweight veterans Diego Sanchez and Jim Miller will meet in the “featured spotlight fight” of the UFC 197 undercard, Ultimate Fighting Championship officials announced on Wednesday.

Sanchez, 34, previously announced that he would return to lightweight after a one-fight stint at 145 pounds saw him defeated by Ricardo Lamas. The Jackson-Wink MMA product has won just one of his last four outings, a controversial split decision over Ross Pearson in June 2014.
Miller, 32, finds himself in a similar predicament, with three defeats in his last four appearances. In his most recent outing, the New Jerseyan was submitted by Michael Chiesa on Dec. 10, marking only the second tap-out loss in Miller’s 33-fight career.
