IFL: Taurosevicius Out of Fight with Palaszewski

And they've got a heckuva replacement:

Jim Miller will replace an injured Deividas Taurosevicius and take on Bart Palaszewski in a lightweight bout.

Miller, who has fought primarily on the East Coast and recently submitted UFC veteran Chris Ligouri earlier this month at a Ring of Combat show, was reported as being tapped as a replacement opponent against Marcus Aurelio at next week's UFC Fight Night 13. However Miller's contract with the IFL left him unable to fill in at the event.

It's incredibly short notice, but this is definitely a fight Miller can win. Good on the IFL for getting a late replacement this good. Way to scramble.

I guess that eliminates the Miller to the UFC talk that came up in the wake of injuries last week.

Still...this is a for real fighter coming into the IFL.  The lightweight division in the IFL remains a really solid division.
