And Tibau's a better grappler than stand up. Nate Diaz should've beat Gray Maynard for ****'s sake, he's good.

I think Miller will surprise Nate in the standup and will be able to control him on the ground

It's a silly pun and I'm curious how many people will get the reference. But seriously, after last time Miller took those shots, including a flying knee from Guillard, then took him down and choked him out, I said I will not doubt him again and I'm sticking to it.

I predict Benson manhandles Nate and defeats him decisively. But Nate is most definitely deserving of his title shot.
On the other hand, Jim Miller set his title aspirations seriously back. VERY serious setback.
I still hope that Melvin Guillard gets a title shot in the next year. But Melvin has lost to Miller and Diaz. So, his prospects of fighting for the title and succeeding appears rather remote. I give Nate little chance of taking the belt from Henderson, but career justice requires he be given his opportunity.
The big issue is when the most interesting, relevant and best LW will be given the chance to fight Ben Henderson for the belt. Gilbert Melendez, the Strikeforce champion, is for some unexplained reason, being held back from joining the UFC by Dana White. Gilbert expressed his desire to join the UFC but for some reason, White won't invite him into the UFC.
Why? After bringing so many SF champs over (Nick Diaz, Jake Shields, Dan Henderson), plus most of the HWs are coming, why Gilbert Melendez is being singled out to stay isolated in a dying promotion is a matter of mystery only White can fathom.
Henderson vs. Melendez is the big one.

He's proven that he's elite, which is what I've always thought. I thought Nate beat Gray also.

And I think Pettis is wrong. Condit showed how to beat Nick, because Nick never learns to adapt, Nate does. Pettis would have an extremely difficult fight with Nate, although it could be a very good one. This fight makes sense to happen, since Frankie has to take off 6-8 months between every fight. With Ben/Frankie II most likely happening in September it seems like a long time for Nate to wait. He wouldn't be expected to fight until the last card of the year in all likelihood if the title match doesn't happen until September.
I think a Pettis match would go a little differently than Pettis thinks. He's the more complete striker, but nobody KOs a Diaz. Pettis might try the Condit gameplan, but unlike Nick, Nate would adapt to it and try to do something differently. Also, Nate showed against Jim that he is not the plodding fighter that Nick is. He knows when to use speed to different things and because of that I think it would be a closely contested match that either sees Diaz with a 4th or 5th round submission or a tossup decision that would most likely go to Pettis due to volume of strikes landed.
Whatever the case, props to Nate. He put on a great show last night and proved he is a truly elite fighter.

I think Diaz would kill Pettis as well and I think he could beat Frankie Edgar. But Benson Henderson? God knows, right now the only fighter I think that could give Benson a serious run for his money is Gray Maynard and if Gray's champion, he HAS to fight Diaz, the man who beat him twice (I'm sorry but Gray did not win the 2nd fight).

Options to make LW excitement off the chart.
Prediction: wrong Miller wrong Submission wrong Round 2
2. Bring in Gilbert Melendez from SF
3. Arrival of Diego Sanchez from WW
All 3 infusions of talent would bring the LW cauldron to a bubbling boil.
This would make LW competitive with WW and LHW in terms of excitement. It's close now.
I'd very much enjoy seeing Nate Diaz battle Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez.
