Report: UFC signs Jim and Dan Miller
July 23, 2008 by Sam Caplan
According to a report on MMAjunkie.com, brothers Jim Miller and Dan Miller have both signed exclusive four-fight contracts with the UFC.
Both Millers had valid contracts with the IFL, with Dan Miller holding the promotion’s middleweight title. This site reported last week that the UFC was in the process of acquiring the IFL, but an acquisition had yet to be finalized.
To date, no official statement about a possible acquisition has been made by the UFC or the IFL so it’s uncertain how the UFC could reach a contract agreement if at least limited assets had not been acquired.
Junkie’s report, which quotes AMA Fight Club’s Mike Constantino, both the manager and a trainer for the Millers, indicates that a debut date has yet to be set for either fighter.
Like I said, the UFC has not acquired the IFL. I don’t know why people say things when they aren’t factual. All it does is make you look uneducated.
We’re citing another report which referred to the Millers’ manager as a direct source. Not sure what else you’d like.
It’s also posted right on their website — MillerBrothersMMA.com. It’s legit, they’re signed to the UFC.
I caught wind of this at BCX5 at that time nothing was in stone but I am happy for the Millers. Both well rounded fighters that stand out on the East Coast.
AMA has a nice little camp right now.
