Jim Miller, fresh off a victory over Chris Liguori at Ring of Combat's most recent show on March 7 in Atlantic City, has been tapped to replace Spencer Fisher as a replacement against Marcus Aurelio in a lightweight fight scheduled for the undercard of UFC Fight Night 13 on April 2.

Miller, 10-1, was offered the bout vs. Aurelio soon after UFC.com revealed yesterday that Fisher was off the card due to a injury sustained while training for the fight. He has formally agreed to the UFC's offer, according to MMAjunkie.com.

UFN 13 will emanate from Broomfield, Colorado and will be televised on Spike TV start at 7 p.m. ET. The three-hour telecast, to be headlined by a lightweight match between Massachusetts natives Kenny Florian and Joe Lauzon, will precede the premiere of the seventh season of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality TV show.
