Butler (12-4) is a featherweight out of West Monroe, LA, training out of the local Kron Gracie Jiu Jitsu affiliate school. In Gordon’s place, Eurosport’s Marcel Dorff reports that Miller will take on UFC newcomer Jesse Butler.
Especially, too, since-assuming he meant 17-days notice ahead of June 3rd-that would mean the UFC offered Gordon the fight on May 18th, just 26-days after his fight with Green. Most likely he would have been handed at least a 30-day minimum no-contact suspension, a supposition that only raises more red flags with Gordon’s admission that he went right back to training after his KO. Unfortunately, NSAC medical suspensions from Gordon’s fight with Green were not publicly disclosed, so it’s unclear how long he was supposed to be out of competition. No reason for Gordon’s removal was made public, but it seems like it may have been hard to justify keeping the man on the card after his public reminder that he was recently badly concussed. Shortly after Gordon’s interview started making waves, reports surfaced that the Kill Cliff FC talent had been removed from his fight against Jim Miller. And I think, stylistically, it’s a great fight for me.” Gordon pulled, Miller gets new opponent This was just a great opportunity for me to get another contract and get back in there with a legend in Jim Miller. I beat Leo Santos, I beat Paddy-but I lost-and then this one, I was on my way to winning the Bobby one. They gave me a new contract, the UFC another deal, and a bump in pay, and I think it was worth it. We fight, I make a living doing this, that’s another reason to do it. I’m risking it anyways going in there, even if I didn’t have that outcome six weeks ago. At this point my career, I was like-sometimes you gotta risk it a little bit, right, to get what you want? I think a little bit of risk is not too bad. “I did everything I could to recover supplements, I was in a hyperbaric chamber for the last six weeks. “I had a minor concussion, but I got over the symptoms fairly quickly,” Gordon explained.
Essentially, it was worth the risk to make the quick turn. The fighter also talked about his loss to Green, saying that while he had a “minor concussion” he felt recovered quickly and got a new deal from the UFC for taking this bout on short notice. It wasn’t just the insane weight cut that Gordon appears to have put himself through to make fight week that was a problem, however. Jared Gordon reveals he was 193 pounds when he got the call to fight Jim Miller on 17 days' notice and explains how he got over a "minor concussion" from the Bobby Green fight six weeks ago. Of course, fighters being who they are, it’s not hard to imagine as well, that Gordon himself was eager to get back in the cage and set his record straight. There’s little on paper that would immediately call back to mind how ‘Flash’ was sent completely stiff by Green after a clash of heads and a couple brutal followup punches late in the first round of their bout. After all, the last entry on Gordon’s record at this point is a simple no contest. Perhaps Shelby & Maynard simply forgot what happened. Why they lit on Gordon, little more than a month removed from his brutal, concussive collision with Bobby Green is anyone’s guess. Albazi this week was, why is Jared Gordon fighting Jim Miller? Matchmakers originally booked a lightweight UFC fight between Miller and striking specialist L’udovit Klein for the card, but had to find a replacement once Klein withdrew from the bout.
