Tough fight to call.

If Miller can avoid getting KO'd and can take Cerrone down, he could submit him late in the fight.

I really thought Bobby Green had Jim Millers number, wanted to see that fight.

Its a really interesting match up. 

I don't know who I'll end up picking but this has FOTN written all over it.

This was one of those fights that was bound to happen at some point, and now here it is.  I'll be picking Cerrone but no idea how yet.

FOTY more like it.

Tough to pick a winner here, either Miller by decision or Cerrone by finish. Edging towards Cowboy.

I think Cerrone overwhelms Miller. Miller always looks awesome until he's overwhelmed. I for one don't think this'll be as close as it looks on paper.

I guess this makes UFC Dublin UFN 46 then right? It's 3 days later, no way they squeeze another one in ;)

Battle of the gatekeepers.

Cerrone is the gatekeeper to the top 5 and Miller is for the top 10.

I think the fight will play out that way too. Cerrone should be too much for Miller but he's a dog so it should be exciting.

I got Cerrone. Much longer fighter, way better striker in a fight that I expect to stay standing.

Well Miller asked for it, now he's certainly going to get it.  Cerrone has got this all day.

Wild fight. Definitely has the potential for FOTN if not FOTY.

I think Cerrone will take this, he might even get a finish. Won't be surprised if Miller wins though.

I would give Jim Miller more credit than Varner, but I agree that Cowboy should be able to keep this on the feet, but if he can't like in the Dos Anjos fight he'll likely lose. Mentally Cowboy usually shows up but if he doesn't then, ****. Probably not though since this has title implications and they're headlining a card.

I think Miller accomplished more, but he not more dangerous then Varner. Varner is much more dangerous striker. People forget he was beating the **** out of Henderson until the last round where he gave up a submission. He also a better wrestler then Miller as well. Miller better all around grapler but is not as athletic as Varner nor as well rounded fighter overrall. I think Varner could very well dominate Miller in a fight. Varner would out strike miller and stuff his take downs at will. Varners biggest problem is he mentally weak, while that Miller's strength. However looking at there skill set/ athleticism, Varner is more dangerous opponent. Varner is very underrated. Even the fights he loses he normally winning, but then mentally crumbles, but he one dangerous mofo at light weight.


Miller in serous trouble if he can't get this fight to the ground, he just not good enough striker or has the power to back Cowboy off.
