Great Fucking fight
It’s tough but I’ll say Diaz by split decision
by rscott94 on Jan 24, 2012 11:24 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I think that Miller will utilize his wrestling to get the fight to the ground, and I feel that he’s good enough not to get caught by anything that Diaz throws at him from his back. On the feet though, it’s all Diaz.

A Diaz rematch always seemed cool to me. This is a great fight too.

Only a #1 contender fight for Diaz I think...
It’s a tough fight for both guys, but Diaz is a little more marketable and beating Miller would be far more impressive (not to mention giving him one more big win in a row than Miller would have) than Jim beating Diaz because of their styles. Miller has lost to both Henderson and Edgar and would be far more difficult to hype a fight with either of those two than it would were Nate to be in his place. So I’m calling them booking Diaz in a title fight if he wins, and having Miller earn one more nice win until he gets a shot.

you are ignoring that they can also market Jim easily as well
he was on a seven fight win streak b4 he lost to benson
Jim Miller doesn't have the personality of someone like Diaz
And as exciting as he is, the Benson fight and Guillard are the only fights he’s ever even co-headlined. Diaz meanwhile has probably headlined every other Fight Night.

true but think about it
if Frankie wins, then you basically ignore the Bendo fight and market miller as someone who has run through the division and had a 7 fight win streak at one point blah blah blah. if Bendo wins then you have a grudge rematch to hype up for the casuals.
They hated Bendo/Miller so much
That they incorrectly gave FOTN to Hardy/Lytle and the main event slot to Hardy/Lytle.
It’s hard to have a grudge match for the casuals when you barely hyped the first one (See: Edgar vs. Maynard I to Edgar vs. Maynard II, and so on).

I don't think so
Diaz isn’t on a crazy tear himself…but he ended Cerrone’s crazy streak…which basically means he gets a #1 contender fight next.
Just like when Bendo ended Miller’s crazy streak, and then got Guida(another streak ender) in his next fight as a #1 contender match.

Nate is on a Gluten Free diet now
This makes him keep his weight down easier as he was struggling to make light weight before he went up to welterweight.

Greatest lover ever during the day, Trainyard Sleeper at night.
The problem with a lot of “boring” fighters isn’t the lack of personality of the fighters, it’s the lack of effort of the interviewers to try to do anything more than boilerplate questions. Not shoehorning false drama into the same rinse-repeat questions =/= boring.
If you’ve ever listened to the Sunday Sitdown that Jack Encarnacio does on Sherdog Radio, he basically has an actual 30-40 minute conversation with guys, not just about MMA, but about who they are. When an interviewer actually takes the time to properly prep so that they know more about a fighter than his fight finder record, you get better interviews that show a guy’s actual personality. His Sunday Sitdown with Jim was excellent and covered everything from why he doesn’t do the fake trash talk to his home brewing, to the time he got so drunk at an Octoberfest party that he lost his wedding ring in the fire and didn’t find it until “it was glowing like in Lord of the Rings.”

Great fight but I don't think it's great matchmaking,
Going to be a war but where does it leave Miller if he wins, whether Bendo beats Frankie or not. At the same time it cuts Nate out as a potential 155 contender.
That said, I think Diaz wins and is still another fight away from a title shot but I would have preferred to see Nate fight the winner of Pettis vs. Lauzon
Don't be scared Gomi...
Disagree
If Frankie wins many will say, ‘but Bendo smashed miller blah blah’. And I’d agree with them. I think they are burning Diaz a bit here. But like I said, I backed him against Cerrone and will again in this fight.

Agreed, I think he's at the level now TBH.
But despite being one of my fav fighters I can just also see the argument that he is one fight off… I think the winner of JLo Pettis is the only option. Another snooze fest with Maynard would be completely useless, is shit stylistically for Diaz and would ruin Diaz as a legit contender at that point where Gray still remains in no-mans land after the Frankie trilogy.

It's not about deserving.
Although I think Nate sparking Cerrone is plenty deserving enough, the fact that Bendo stomped Miller doesn’t put him in a good position for the next shot whether he becomes the champ or loses.

How is Miller vs Edgar/Bendo marketable?
The loss to Bendo wasn’t even a year ago and it was very one sided. People won’t care about the reports of Miller having mono or whatever has come out now. It’s not a slight against Miller at all, but he would be only two fights removed from a very one sided loss. Diaz would only be three fights removed but has marketability on his side. I personally wouldn’t mind seeing any combination of those guys go at it, but they aren’t marketing towards just me.

Like I said, Edgar not as much...
but it has been a lot longer in between that fight and a rematch. It still wouldn’t be as marketable as Diaz vs Edgar because, like anyone with common sense would agree, Nate has a lot more marketability. That marketability is what will get him a first time shot at either Edgar or Bendo compared to Millers second shot at them.

My take
Miller beats Diaz? They give the title shot to winner of Lauzon/Pettis and Miller has to win one more (Maynard?) to get a shot.
Diaz beats Miller? Diaz gets the shot.

I like Lauzon
But propel him to a title shot so quickly? I have my reservations about that, then again, first round Joe Lauzon is the most dangerous fighter in the UFC

Nate takes this
Watched Gray v Nate 2 the other day. Nate’s boxing has improved by leaps and bounds in the last 2 years and his Ceaser Gracie Brown belt is as good as any Black Belt in MMA. At 26 he is reaching his prime, he going to tough out for anyone at 155.
Nates boxing doesnt matter in this fight
Miller is ythe type of fighter that has always given Diaz trouble: a strong wrestler with excellent submission defence. Millers also far better then Stevenson or Guida on the ground

That crazy stat they pulled for Miller before the Guillard fight was...crazy
Miller has never lost a fight where he has scored at least one takedown.
I have to think that Diaz isn’t going to keep Miller from taking him down…and statistically that means Miller wins.
Obviously we could have Miller’s first fight where he gets a TD and doesn’t win…but again, the stats sort of go against that.

I don't think that stat(or any stat really) holds much weight
Considering the match up.
Diaz is a guy who has taken great TD/top control fighters to split decisions and close 29-28 fights. Not too mention, he has legitimate arguments that he won both the Maynard and Guida fights. Most of which, saw him on the bottom.

The word 'easily'
I don’t see how Miller can ‘easily’ win this fight in any capacity.
This match up is no more in his favor than it is for Nate.
Miller isn’t a lay and pray fighter. He’s going to be active. That means Diaz will be even more active. I think its a toss up really.

Wrong choice of words
You are right…I don’t think a win would be ‘easy’ for Miller…but I think it’s definitly there, clear, and enitrely possible.
Miller so far, loses to guys who can counter his wrestling/grappling.
Diaz seems to be more of the time who loses to guys who can outwrestle him.
I think the chances of Miller outswrestling Diaz are better than Diaz stuffing and counter Miller’s wrestling/grappling.

I’m not an expert by any means, who has the advantage on the ground here? Both guys are usually better at BJJ than their opponents. I feel like Nate has the advantage but only because I have seen him do the flex/middle triangle finger whilst simultaneously submitting a man.
Pure BJJ I would take Nate.

People highly underrate Miller’s BJJ a lot of the time. Everyone laughs now that Do Bronx was rushed so fast, but at the time a LOT of people thought he was the better BJJ player. People remember Bocek on Miller’s back and forget that was because he won a single scramble out of a leg lock, and that otherwise all the grappling was Bocek getting a takedown and immediately getting tied up and threatened by Miller off his back. Similarly, Tibau was getting creamed on the feet and still was backing out of his takedowns before they even hit the mat because he felt in danger. Fighting dead tired before even stepping into the cage, then making a mistake and gassing himself harder with that standing arm triangle, Miller still caught a nasty leg-over kimura and fully hit kneebar on Henderson. There is nobody in the game he’s afraid to fight on the mat with and nobody he can’t put in real danger, while on the flipside he’s never been in any real submission danger I can think of, and that includes an ADCC level black belt on his back with an arm trapped for two minutes and unable to ever come close to the neck.

this fight is super winnable for Nate. Miller isn’t a guy who’s going to wash and repeat takedowns all fight, and that’s not the best aspect of his game. I think this fight could be real interesting both on the mat and standing, where Nate will have a huge advantage.

It's not so much who Nate has beaten, as who has beaten Nate
which has tended to be big, strong, top-control wrestlers who are happy to work for takedowns and grind things out in half guard while avoiding subs.
Miller is a guy who is confident exchanging on the feet and doesn’t really play a lot of safety first top-control, so I think he’s actually a pretty good opponent for Nate.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Right, I misunderstood what you were saying. Most of Nate’s victories have been to big wrestlers, and that’s just not Miller. Of his losses in the UFC, only Joe Stevenson isn’t a big wrestler, but that happened over 3 years ago when Nate was nowhere near as good as today. It’s a very good fight, and I’d have no problems giving the winner a title shot, especially if Edgar beats Bendo.
Hey, you know what?
Just for fun, Joe Silva, hit us up with Cerrone vs. Guillard on the same card as this one.
This is an oule.

Nice
That makes too much sense.
I have a feeling both guys will take a lesser opponent in their next out.

I think Melvin would smash Cerrone
Donald would have a really hard time getting it to the ground.

True.
I think Cerrone’s BJJ is a level or two down from Miller’s though. I also think those shots would have really hurt Donald, maybe even finished him.

on the other hand
Donald’s MT is far superior to Miller’s so I doubt Melvin would be able to put it on Donald like he did to Jim standing

That sound like a good fight.
Exciting. I went to look up the fighters and I noticed something weird about Cerrone that I never noticed before. During his last fight they really hyped his Muay Thai skills. So he’s finished 7 times, and 6 of them were by submission and only one by KO/TKO. Sounds like a grappler to me, but hey, w/e. Cerrone would go for the sub.
I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyrone Woodly fight.

meh
i’d rather see both guys back in the win colum
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
Shogun
absolutely sucks. I will fight him and then demand a title fight in a weight class of my choice.
In real life everything I utter is original and poignant.
by Andy Anderson on Jan 25, 2012 7:31 AM EST up reply actions
Why the heck would you want to see that fight again? Shogun should’ve won it the first time, and demolished Machida the 2nd time. Absolutely nothing changed since to indicate that Machida would fare any better, and besides, Shogun gains nothing from fighting him again. That’s just plain bad matchmaking all around.
Neither guy is getting a title shot any time soon
The first fight was entertaining and competitive and I have no reason to believe it wouldn’t be a good fight the third go around. I think it’s pretty good actually.
by discoandherpes on Jan 25, 2012 8:15 AM EST up reply actions
And if Shogun KO’s Machida within seconds again? Do they fight a 4th time because you’re pretty sure it’ll go like their first fight, again? Come on.
Rematches should only happen when the original result was somewhat of an aberation, or if there’s some title implications in play. In this case, it just doesn’t work.
I’m not sure who Machida fights now, maybe Hendo? That is, if Evans beats Davis and finally gets his shot at Jones?
He's actually a high-profile member of parliament in Australia now.

I'm not that guy
who can dance whilst smashing my testicles into my thighs by closing my legs the way that man does in the top gif.
Whenever I see a man cross his legs above the knee and act comfortable, I figure he either has tiny little balls or they’re so massive they’re hanging below the thighs. Otherwise, it makes my balls hurt.

Nothing truly matters. However, this fight has the potential to be a real pleasure to visually enjoy.

I would have a horseshoe surgically implanted in my ass just so Brock would pull it out and beat me over the head with it while I pleasure myself.
PS: Melvin and I say: Please visit the
Daniel James Miller Foundation and donate.
Bonus Comparisons Diaz v Miller
Nate Diaz = 5 FOTN + 3 SOTN for $380,000 and tied at 2nd place for most bonuses
Jim Miller = 1 FOTN + 3 SOTN for $215,000
That spells an exciting fight no matter what, but proves that Diaz is the more marketable, more exciting fighter and deserves the LW title shot.
Love the fight, but at the Meadowlands?
I’d rather drive to Prudential Center. Because IZOD is a pain in the ass to get to & then you have to walk through that long ass tunnel to get to the arena. This is a very curious move to me, as the last 2 UFC cards in Newark did very well.
i'm suprised so many think Nate has a chance here
Miller has only lost to superior wrestlers. He has the wrestler to take down Nate, and he has the BJJ to avoid getting submitted. He isn’t losing this fight.
