If you google, "Ben henderson vs jim miller" there is an article it will be on the UFC on Versus 5 Card. I can't figure out how to post links yet though. >_>

That's awesome, i think it's undeniable the winner should be in line for a title shot. The real question will hinge on whether they are willing to wait for the Pettis/Guida winner now that Edgar/Mayard is being delayed.

Damn nice find though, i haven't heard anything about this.

Im down for a rematch. Bendo vs Miller is a sick match up as well.

plus i'm getting a little tired of ufc guys (maynard and miller) talking down to wec guys like henderson and pettis. henderson beatdown a pretty good fighter in bocek and pettis i think has beaten everyone he has faced except bart p and i was at that fight at the pearl at the palms and i though pettis should have won decision. just more motivation for the former wec guys.

Man... I have no idea who to pick in this fight off the top of my head.  Great match up and really gives Bendo a chance to prove himself as an elite LW, not just a possible top 10 guy.

We may have to break out the dreaded interim title lol.

I say make Pettis/Guida for the Interim lightweight title (I know Guida is not suppose to get a title shot if he wins but what's the harm in doing so), Bendo/Miller a possible #1 contender, have Pettis/Guida face the winner of Edgar/Maynard and then Bendo/Miller challenge for the title.

Bendo/Miller may not want to wait that long so they may face someone else though.
