Prediction: wrong Miller   wrong Decision  

I think that Jim Miller can win a decision by controlling the wrestling. It's possible he can submit Diaz, but I think it's fairly unlikely. Diaz would win the standup, but I don't think he'd be able to stop Miller taking him down and keeping him there.

Finding it hard to pick Nate after Nicks loss especially since Jims wrestling is sweet. I know Nate and Nick are different people but Nick showed me that the gym and himself really failed to change the way they fought. I'll end up siding with Nate though, good subs.

Prediction: wrong Miller   wrong Decision  

I'll have to go with Jim by dominate wrestling.  I think Jim's good enough on the ground to defend Nate's subs, but I don't see him submitting Nate.  Jim by Dec.

Jim Miller won't be denied in this fight. I think he's going to own Nate and set himself up for a title eliminator, if not a title shot.

A lot of people said he would get destroyed by Cerrone and we know how that went. I could see this fight going either way but I'm going with Diaz on this one

I think we can all be assured that there will be no KOs/TKOs in this fight. These guys both have unscathable chins.

Jim Miller has an iron chin and solid ground game, but Nick Diaz has the reach advantage and also a strong ground game. Either way I see a decision fight.

There are two people that I would root for when facing Diaz. I am a Diaz fan, but when he faces Guida or Miller. Gotta go against him!

This happened with the Cowboy fight, and it's gonna happen with this fight again. Miller's the favorite to win and the large majority should be going with him but think about it: where does Miller win this fight? I don't know.

Prediction: wrong Miller   wrong Decision  

Miller has superior wrestling and will not get subbed. If you look it up Nate loses consistently to wrestlers with stifling top games (Kim,Maynard, and Guida to name a few). Also Miller's stand up isn't bad at all, though Nate's is better. If the Diaz brothers would ever pick up a inkling of a wrestling game they would be in a much better situation. Also Nate tricked Cowboy into playing his game and Cowboy suffered for doing that.

I thought Gray lost that fight to be honest.

All I know is if Diaz loses to Miller, he's gotta end the trilogy with Gray.

Miller will beat Diaz
Guida will beat Maynard         Atleast I hope those 2 win their fights.

I want to see this so it will maybe set up Guida/Miller. That would be a sick fight.
