Usman, who is the brother of UFC welterweight ruler Kamaru Usman, notably went 4-0 under the Titan FC banner before suffering a second-round submission loss to Brandon Sayles in his lone Professional Fighters League appearance in May 2021.
Pauga, who moved up from 205 pounds to compete on “TUF 30,” is undefeated in five professional appearances — with victories in Cage Warriors and Legacy Fighting Alliance to his credit. Most recently, he outpointed UFC veteran Markus Perez at Cage Warriors 130 this past October.
Walker’s 7-2 career mark includes five appearances under the Invicta FC banner. She went 3-2 in the all-female promotion, earning a notable win over current UFC talent Miranda Maverick.
Miller, meanwhile, is also an Invicta veteran but has just three professional fights to her credit. She is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Claire Guthrie at Invicta at AXS TV in May 2021.
UFC on ESPN 40 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a light heavyweight duel between Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill.
