--Having turned in mixed results during his run in the UFC's lightweight division, Cole "Magrinho" Miller is reportedly planning to drop down to featherweight, according to MMAJunkie. The 18-5 American Top Team representative will meet Steven Siler - the man who improbably defeated his brother, Micah, during the fourteenth season of The Ultimate Fighter - at UFC on FX 2 this spring. Miller last appeared in action this past August, submitting TJ O'Brien at UFC Live: Hardy vs. Lytle. UFC on FX 2: Alves vs. Kampmann goes down on March 3 at the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia.--Also competing at UFC on FX 2: Alves vs. Kampmann will be heavyweight UFC debutants Oli Thompson and Shawn Jordan, who will duke it out on the event's FUEL TV-aired preliminary card. A representative of Greg Jackson's stable, Shawn Jordan claims a 12-3 professional record and has competed for both Strikeforce and Bellator; he's picked up eight victories by KO or TKO, three by submission and one by decision. English strongman Oli Thompson will be looking to extend his 9-2 record, which is made up of three KO/TKO wins, five submissions and one decision.
--Fresh off of another embarrassing defeat, Japanese MMA staple Bob Sapp will face one-time UFC competitor and obvious member of the renowned Gracie clan, Rolles Gracie, this February 11 at One FC 2 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Sherdog first reported the bout. Once a legitimate competitor, Sapp has lost seven of his last nine and looked uninspired doing so. Rolles Gracie has gone 5-1 over his short career, winning his two most recent fights by submission.
