Always enjoy watching Miller's fights. Just a grinder, hardnosed guy. Never a champ but never a chump!

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

Really weird fight. I like it. But it's not something I would have really expected.

Agree. I'd never have thought of it, but I enjoy watching both fighters. It's actually a really interesting match stylistically.

 

[regular john]

Great fight. neither of these guys ever catch a break though.

 

[nuraknu]

I like this fight. It definitely has the potential to just be Miller holding down Pettis, but it also has fotn potential. Either Miller gets to cement his legacy, or Pettis gets to prove he can still hang. Possibly both if the fight is good enough.

This is a tough fight for Pettis, for sure.
