Diaz losing to Rory via UD is impressive for me in Diaz's favor. Rory is a destroyer and he didn't finish Diaz who is in a different weight class. Rory is just a bad ass. I would be cool with Diaz getting a title fight if he beats Miller. I would also be cool with Miller getting one. Yes Bendo whipped him, but Miller hung tough through some tough shots. I would love to see what would happen with two more rounds.

Nate is 2-2 in his last 4 and 5-5 in his last 10.. jim miller is 8-2 in his last ten and all of his losses have come from top 5 ufc lws, top 3 in some peoples books. I understand that it may be too soon for a rematch and i think it may be too, but how the heck is diaz closer to one?

Diaz last loss at 155 was a Split Desicion vs Maynard back in Jan 2010 2 years ago.. with 8 of the night honors in his last 12 fights...

Miller lost to bendo in even worse fashion than Nate has...to anyone. He has never been blown out of the water, and like mentioned, last fight at 55 was split to maynard...which a lot of ppl thought he won, me included

Oh and is Fitch close to a title shot? He's lost two out of his last like 25 or something.

That's the thing with Diaz, his losses were all very close and a lot of them could have gone either way. His 2 losses at WW were to guys who are top 10 and will probably be top 5's soon, and he held his own in both cases.

Ya Miller has a better record, but he's lost to both of the guys fighting for the belt and neither fight was very close, and outside of those 2 fights he has fought like 1 top 10?

Kos and Hendricks in realaity is the #2 spot. Can't be for the #1 contender as Condit is holding onto that and doing nothing with it.

I hope Hendricks wrecks Kos, Fitch style. I can't stand Kos

No way Diaz deserves a shot even if he wins. I would say he would still need to beat Guida/Maynard or Pettis to get a shot. Miller on the other should get a shot if he wins. The guy has only lost to Edgar, Maynard and Bendo and has pretty much laid a beating on everyone else. And he fought Bendo with a Kidney Infection so I would love to see a rematch between the two with a 100% Miller.

Also I do not know how Diaz wins this fight any way. Everything he is good at, Miller is better. Miller's ground game is just as good if not better and his hands are far better than Diaz.

As for Kos and Hendricks I totally agree. Kos is not near a title shot at this point and if Hendricks win he should honestly jump Condit and get first crack at GSP. Wins over Fitch and Kos > wins over Kim and Diaz.

^Diaz's hands are easily better than Millers, and I'd say his jiujitsu is just as good imo

Alot of people felt like Bocek beat Miller...just like alot of people felt like Diaz beat Gray and Guida...Also most LW's wouldn't make it to a decision if they went up to 170 and faced Rory Mac.
