Dana: Jim Miller is next in line

Nothing about this today?



Anyways, love it, he's only lost to Frankie and Gray and is fighting great lately.

With the way this division is going, Bendo probably ends up throwin a wrench into this

Bendo vs Guida would be a great fight and seems like it makes some sense.

Bendo be fighting Jim Miller next bro

I'll be real interested to see who Guida gets

Totally forgot about it, and I just read it in the article before I posted this.

Guida vs Guillard if he beats Roller then

Was thinking that. I wonder if Joe Silva feels like digging into that Jackson vs Jackson shit when he doesn't have to though

Guida vs Sherk was supposed to happen a while back. Think I read he's ready to fight again pretty soon

Like it, good call




Here's a little something for you if you get bored of that av

Anyone else think they should have made Guida vs Pettis the 1st UFC non title fight 5 round fight. I do, mainly because if their going to act like the WEC belts mean something they should atleast respect the lightweight champ as well.

Guida won, and I scored it 30-27 for him, but anyone else wonder what would have happened in a 5 round fight? He nearly caught Guida in the end of the 2nd and for a minute in the 3rd, ya never know. I think Zuffa kind of messed up on that

Miller is one of those make or break guys with his title shot (if he ever gets it) in that some /most #1 contenders are established and we know they are for real and a legitimate threat.

Then there are the guys who we don't know about, the guys that have never faced the man or a top elite fighter at center stage.

Heres what I mean, Chael Sonnen is a perfect example, we didnt know how for real Chael was when he busted up Marquardt cause Marquardt (who is also one of these guys) had proven to not be on level with the elite when he got his chance. The same goes for Josh Koscheck, Dan Hardy.

Perhaps the worst case scenario (other than losing) is you win and are extremely boring, or you lose and are still extremely boring. Jon Fitch cough cough.

I think its cool that Jim Miller has worked himself into this position and look forward to seeing what he truly has in him when its all on the line, the kid has done nothing but win for a while now, not alot in this division can say that.

Jim Miller would have lost to Pettis. He might lose to Guida too.

Miller is a solid ass fighter, he'd have an easier time stuffing the shot then a guy like Pettis, has better boxing then Guida, better JJ.

I'd pick Miller to beat both.

I think Jim Miller has the all around grappling and strength to beat Guida. I think it would be a matchup problem for Guida who might get a taste of his medicine when Miller controls him with dominate positioning to win a dec.

Makes sense, Miller is on an impressive run at the moment.
