    Hell of a fight, this is a HELL of a fight. What stands out is that we got Diaz as this outstanding volume striker but he is most successful like his brother when he is backing people up. Thing is Jim Miller rarely takes a back step including when Guillard had him in trouble. This guy keeps applying the pressure and bringing the fight. Both guys are so mentally strong that if this happens on their feet I think neither will budge and it will turn into a war. Id give Diaz the advantage though on his feet and agianst most guys at 155.

    What Miller needs to do though is mix in the takedowns for points. I think Miller should be able to get this fight to the ground as long as he sets it up with strikes which he normally does but he has to establish it early and get Diaz to have atleast some sort of respect for it. On the ground I think both are sooo damn good that I could see some nice sweeps and scrambles but I highly doubt either one would be submitted. These 2 are arguablly the best in the UFC's Lightweight divison on the ground.

    When I made the thread the other day about what Miller does next this is the fight I wanted to see. Actually I wanted to see him fight Guida, Barboza, Edgar etc I just want everyone in this divison to line up and put a round robin tournament together.

    Damn right. I've been clamouring for this since the WEC merger.
