Jim Miller vs. Chase Hooper Booked for UFC 314
Veteran Jim Miller will take on one of the UFC’s younger stars at UFC 314 this April.
Miller (38-18, 1NC) will face Chase Hooper (15-3-1) at the Pay-Per-View event, strongly rumored to take place in at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on April 12, 2025.
News of Miller vs. Hooper was first reported by Twitter/X’s Super Fan (@McGregorRousey2), who posted snippets of a DM exchange with Hooper confirming the bout. Miller later confirmed the booking on his Instagram Story.
Chase Hooper is riding high of late, having won four straight fights, most recently submitting Clay Guida, an old foe of Miller’s and another veteran of the lightweight division (as it turns out, Hooper will be the final UFC opponent for Guida, who is now gone from the company). At 25, “The Dream” is 16 years younger than Jim Miller, who will once again have the experience advantage in the fight.
“A-10” Miller is 6-2 across his last eight bouts and is coming off a submission finish of Damon Jackson at UFC 309. That extended his record for most UFC wins, bouts, and lightweight bouts.
Having made his UFC debut in 2008, Jim Miller has seemingly never looked back, with his current goal 50 fights with the promotion. The Hooper fight will be his 46th.
UFC 314 is rumored to be headlined by a featherweight title fight between champ Ilia Topuria, and the man he defeated for gold, Alexander Volkanovski. Not officially announced, news of that booking was leaked by UFC middleweight Bo Nickal. The following fights have been reported for the card to date:
- Gilbert Burns vs. Michael Morales
- Yan Xiaonan vs. Virna Jandiroba
- Dominick Reyes vs. Nikita Krylov
- Jim Miller vs. Chase Hooper
