Huge props to Miller for taking this fight on just EIGHT days notice and AFTER Thanksgiving because of the injury to Frank Edgar:

Should be a very good fight ... a sleeper.

Miller triangle I’d say
Miller’s gonna want to finish it fast rather than pace himself I’d think with a sub since he admits to not being in top conditioning. He might wear Winman down at first if he gets on top

miller kind of reminds me of matt hughes in some way. i dunno how.

i really like wiman, and i think he needs the win more than miller, so i’ll be rooting for him. this fight has the potential to make me a fan of miller though.

wiman by decision. fight of the night here.

I feel that Wiman has been flying under the radar. He is a very well rounded fighter. Even his loss to Fisher was a good fight that he was doing well in until Fisher hit him with one of the sickest flying knees ever.

ABSOLUTELY BNF! He is a very skilled guy, and I think in the past year he has taken his game to an entirely different level. The kid is tough and Sturdy and fights with a lot of Heart, determination and an indomitable spirit. I see Wiman continuing to progress with in the next year or 2. The kid is going to be a very god fighter.

I would like to see Wiman fight some of the guys from TUF who have also gotten better like:
Emerson
Maynard
Manny

If he wins on Wednesday he will be on a 5 fight win streak. He needs to get a big name like Stevenson or Huerta. I would also be happy if they rescheduled the Edgar match up. I don’t want to see any fighter I like face Grey because he will just hump them for 3 rounds for the lame W.

Yeah, the edgar fight is a must Book fight, if he can beat
Miller. 5 fight win streak is impressive, if he wins, he really needs to step up his level of competition.

Wiman vs. Tyson Griffin (coming off of a loss)? Not a bad match up either!

what pisses me off about Grey is that his stand up is actually pretty good. IMO he is too quick to abandon the stand up and reverts back to his bread and butter….DRy Humpin, I mean wrestling. Sorry! lol

maynard really needs to get his sh*t together… i was PISSED when he dry humped clementi for three rounds when clementi was on a 5 fight win streak… he better adapt his game and at least go for some submissions because this guy is quickly jumping up my most hated latter

I don’t know much about the other guy but Miller looked brilliant when i seen him live.

wiman already has a history with huerta… im sure he’d be looking forward to a rematch, cuz the first bout was a very close decision and very exciting fight… im sure you can youtube it…

I am so indifferent on this fight. On paper, Wiman looks like he is in his prime but Jim Miller and his tenacity causes problems for anyone. I kind of want Wiman to get his 5th straight win in the UFC b/c that a hell of an accomplishment and puts him as a serious contender. If Miller wins he will start his rise to condtendership. I think Wiman has the better stand-up but if I recall correctly Miller has a great top game and has a very solid G-n-P. Like I said, Indifference! I am gonna go with Miller via 3rd rd stoppage due to g-n-p strikes. Or Wiman 2nd rd KO. Or Miller by split decision in a war. who knows, but I do KNOW i am excited for 2 UFC’s in 4 days….
