Who wins? Miller vs Bendo

Need a new front page poll. I just like this better then Lytle vs Hardy.

If this is lop sided or more people think Lytle vs Hardy is a better choice I'll go ahead and change it.

I took Miller but I could see Bendo pulling it off. I think Miller will have the grappling to control the fight but it is a matchup I'm looking forward to seeing. If Bendo does pull off the win I think he deserves to be put in a #1 contender fight. Wouldn't even mind a title shot with a win here.

i really want to pick Bendo in this one but i think Miller is too complete of a fighter... Bendo could take him down and get a dec. tho

fuck it, im going Bendo!

Toss up IMO.

I just think Miller is the better fighter but Bendo has proven me wrong before.

If Bendo wants to win he needs to keep it standing IMO. Miller is the better grappler.

Bendo is a better wrestler, with good top control and he always avoids subs...

Miller is a good wrestler, not sure I would say Bendo is better. But overall grappling I got to give Miller the advantage.

I can't wait, honestly I feel it should be the main event.

It's that entertainment vs sport debate. Lytle vs Hardy has the entertainment value, Miller and Bendo are the more skilled, higher ranked fighters.

You could argue that it's an unofficial Lightweight title eliminator. Hardy and Lytle are coming off loses.

Miller is a beast, but so is Bendo. I expect a great fight, but really expect Miller to take him to the cleaners late in the 2nd or mid 3rd round.

Unofficially Miller will get a title shot with a win.

Really wish this was 5 rounds

Perfect candidate for non-title five round fight.

Yep if there ever was a non-title fight that needed to go 5 rounds it's this one!

And it will in the future. One of the reasons I'm excited about that new aspect, especially with the lighter weight class guys. It will no doubt start to have an effect on the way the UFC puts cards together

Hopefully the smaller guys will get the main events, that's the only way they get the 5 round fights. Even with these new rules this fight wouldn't have been 5 rounds. Unless you are saying they might have switched it up if the 5 round main event rule was in place, which I would agree.

I got Miller in a very close fight. Bobbitt u are right it should be a 5 rounder.

The division needs a Brazilian LW in the mix, I hope its Charles Oliviera sometime down the road

I chose Miller but it's not something I'm "positive" about. I give this fight like 60/40 in Millers favor only because of his overall submission game and ability to finish. We haven't seen Bendo have to defend much of anything other than alot of chokes and a couple of decent armbars. Miller has those leglocks as well and traditionally Wrestlers don't do well with them. I had a hard time picking against Miller given his streak and his only losses coming to Maynard and Edgar but Bendo has proven Me wrong in the past, especially last time around. This is going to be fight of the night I think.
