With B.J. Penn removed from UFC 199, the organization has found a replacement to take on Cole Miller — Alex Caceres.

FOX Sports first reported the match-up, which was confirmed by the UFC.

Miller (21-9, 1NC) is coming off a no-contest against Jim Alers due to an accidental eye-poke which forced Miller out of the fight. Prior to that bout, he lost a decision to Max Holloway in early 2015. Miller has not stepped inside the Octagon since last December.

Caceres (11-8, 1NC) was riding the dreaded three-fight losing skid, however his exciting fighting style kept him employed by Zuffa.
