BJ Penn may have found his new opponent.
A day after news broke that Dennis Siver, Penn's original opponent at UFC 199, withdrew from the fight, the UFC is now targeting a featherweight bout between Penn and Cole Miller, MMA Fighting has learned. The fight isn't official just yet, though. The UFC considered other opponents for Penn over the past 24 hours, however, Miller is the current front-runner.
Miller (21-9, 1 NC) is coming off a no contest against Jim Alers in December after Alers accidentally poked Miller in the eye in the second round of their UFC on FOX 17 fight.
