Alex Caceres faces Cole Miller at UFC 199

[Wild]

Former "Ultimate Fighter" stand out Alex Caceres has stepped in to replace BJ Penn at UFC 199 and he will now face Cole Miller on the card on June 4 from Inglewood, Calif.

UFC officials confirmed the fight to FOX Sports on Wednesday.

Caceres accepts the fight after Penn was pulled from the card just days ago following a potential anti-doping infraction where the UFC Hall of Famer admitted to using an IV ahead of a drug test back in March.

Caceres now faces Miller in just over one week as he looks to get his second win in a row inside the Octagon.

replacement fighter facing replacement fighter. Awesome.

Reminds me of the steven wright joke, "I own George Washington's original axe, I had to replace both the handle and the blade, but it still occupies the same space".
