Matt Wiman vs. Cole Miller in the works for UFC 125

A lightweight bout between Matt Wiman and Cole Miller is in the works for UFC 125 on New Year's day.

Wiman (12-5, 6-3 UFC) is returning from an arm injury that forced him to withdraw from his UFC Fight Night 22 fight against Efrain Escudero. Wiman had originally been scheduled to rematch Mac Danzig on that card, but Danzig was forced off the card with a back injury.

Miller (17-4, 6-2 UFC) is coming off of a submission win over Ross Pearson at UFC Fight Night 22. Miller has won two straight since suffering a TKO loss to Escudero at UFC 103.

Wiman last three fights:
Win (Technical Submission - Guillotine Choke) Mac Danzig - UFC 115
Win (Unanimous Decision) Shane Nelson - UFC 107
Loss (Unanimous Decision) Sam Stout - UFC 97
