MMAjunkie.com first reported the potential of Miller’s involvement in the event on Wednesday. The 24-year-old, who last fought in July 2008, will be looking for his sixth victory in his past seven bouts.Browning, the center of several controversial moments from the most recent season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” will be making his second official appearance for the UFC.The 24-year-old competed in three fights on “The Ultimate Fighter.” Considered exhibition bouts by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Browning went 2-1 with wins over Jose Aguilar and Roli Delgado before falling to eventual season winner Efrain Escudero.After his well-documented, trouble-filled stint on the UFC’s Spike TV-broadcast reality series, Browning relocated to Las Vegas and began training with the famed Xtreme Couture camp.
