ORLANDO, Fla. – An accidental headbutt in the first round opened up a cut over the eye of Jim Alers , and an unintentional eye poke in the second left Cole Miller unable to open his right eye. The first accidental foul suffered by Alers (13-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) proved to be of no significant consequence, but the second would up being a fight-ender, as the injury to the eye of Miller (21-9 MMA, 9-7 UFC) resulted in the bout being halted at the 1:44 mark of Round 2 and declared a no-contest. The featherweight bout was part of today’s UFC on FOX 17 preliminary card at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of the FOX-televised main card
