Bad match up for Miller. Diaz's BJJ is good enough to negate Miller's ground skills. I see it turning into a kickboxing match up and Diaz has the edge there with his length and improving hands.

Jim Miller via LnP. You guys all ready forget Guida, Stevenson, Kim?

I don't know if i'll take Miller via top control but it's an option for him so it's not a total mismatch. His takedowns are solid and he does have an edge in BJJ, especially if he's on top. Miller will atleast attempt to work so i won't call it LnP. It will be interesting to see how this fight plays out. If it does stalemate on the mat with a lot of stand ups or it never hits the mat...i got Nate via decision.

Really looking forward to this fight. I agree with Farmer though its not a great matchup for Jim but if he wants the title shot he needs to find a way to win.

Well the fight is gonna end with a decision but who will win is a toss up imo, I'm hoping Nate pulls it off but this will be a real tough fight for him unless for some reason Jim just trys to stand with Nate which I don't see happening.

I wonder how close the winner will be to a title shot?

Jim Miller is about as tough as they come, you won't break that guy mentally in the cage. Tough matchup for Nate.

I really like this fight.

Fuck me in the.........sweet fight.

They'll get it imo unless Pettis is spectacular against Lauzon

i just don't see how Miller would win this, i don't think his wrasslin is good enough to hold Diaz down and Diaz should be able to pick him apart standing. unan dec

It's going to be in NJ at the IZOD Center

wow. great fight. Im conflicted here because i love the diaz bros but i have to go for the home team so i'll be rooting for Jim Miller. Gonna be an awesome fight for sure. Jim Miller doesn't LnP he's a savage who finishes fights.

I can't hate on Miller, it would be the least upset I could possibly be after a Diaz loss if Miller does win. But I just can't root against a Diaz.

This has been made the 5 round main event

Yep, loving the 5 rounds here even if the names aren't huge. I'm down with them taking the approach of action fights for this next Fox card

Well the 2 fights already booked are pretty much can't miss in terms of action. They can mix in a couple "names" if they want to. I'm pretty sure they will be doing the 4 fight cards for this event. That was the plan when the deal was made and it was still the idea when they made the last FOX card.

Throw Tito and Forrest III on here. Didn't want 5 rounds of that anyway

Don't even want 3 rounds of that.

Yeah that would be pretty good. Have those 3 plus one more solid fight. Who knows, maybe Ramapage will be ready to go again by the time this rolls around?

No doubt the next fights on fox have to be more action packed, I was pretty disappointed in Maia's fight but the other two fights were still good imo but I know they didn't spark the casual fans attention.
