Jim Miller vs. Danny Castillo booked for UFC on FOX 16 with Rustam Khabilov benched

With Rustam Khabilov unable to do work in the "Windy City," Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has asked lightweight veteran Jim Miller to step in on short notice for the UFC on FOX 16 event on July 25, 2015, where he'll face Danny Castillo inside United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

UFC brought word of the switcheroo on Monday.

Miller (24-6, 1 NC) is coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. After getting crushed by Donald Cerrone back in July 2014, the AMA Fight Club product was handily defeated by Beneil Dariush last April.
