Prediction: correct Miller   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Both guys are skilled in both ground and standup and very close height and reach advantages, but I think Miller tryes to comeback from the only submission of his career and go strong against Lauzon.

I'm very curious what will happen on the ground between these two. Miller definitely has the advantage, but Lauzon's determination can't be judged on paper. On paper, Miller should win this fight, but every Lauzon fight I've ever seen has showed me to never count him out. On a side note, how is Lauzon only a purple belt?

Prediction: wrong Lauzon   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

He probably doesn't currently train under someone who awards belts.  Or maybe he didn't update his wikipedia page.

Prediction: wrong Lauzon   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Yeah Joe doesn't really train in a Gi. 

Funny how little MMA Math actually works, because Maynard beats Miller almost every time, but I think Lauzon had a bigger shot against Maynard than he does against Miller. Miller's a crafty vet, where I think Joe's aggression and finishing ability would have been good for a blitz against Maynard. 

Joe's been pacing himself well in his last few fights though, especially the Varner fight, so I think this is a real toss-up.

Lauzon has been focusing a lot on boxing recently so he very well may try to keep it standing.

These guys are both top 10 favorites and quite frankly to pick against one makes me sad ... I'm sure this pick will change 30 more times! Just hope they have a good fight!

I think Lau will get the Sub. 


That said, I think this is a better fight for Joe then the Maynard one. Should be an exciting one.

Miller's been tapped once, and that's by Nate Diaz. I give Lauzon a .1% of getting a sub. Miller wears him down for the decision win.

That's kind of true. I don't see Lauzon tapping Miller. Even in the Varner fight, I remember him losing before he sunk in the triangle.
