BJ Penn has found his new opponent.

A day after news broke that Dennis Siver, Penn's original opponent at UFC 199, withdrew from the fight, the UFC is now targeting a featherweight bout between Penn and Cole Miller, MMA Fighting has learned.

Miller (21-9, 1 NC) is coming off a no contest against Jim Alers in December after Alers accidentally poked Miller in the eye in the second round of their UFC on FOX 17 fight. Miller's last win was a Jan. 2014 submission against Sam Sicilia. Coincidentally, Miller was on Team Jens Pulver on The Ultimate Fighter season 5 opposite Team BJ Penn in 2007.
