Great fight. These guys are both in the very top of the division. Both guys come to fight every time. I see Jim turning the lights out on Melvin early.

For the people complaining... this is on FX, not Fox.. you guys get that right? It's the equivalent of the Spike broadcasts. For those who are talking about doing away with the PPV format... save your time on something else.. You have no chance of ever winning that. The PPV model is where they rake their $. There's a reason why Boxing, Wrestling (entertainment), and other Combat Sports use this model. It's never going away. I don't like to see people go crazy over something they have no chance at every getting anything accomplished with. Be happy the UFC is putting on more free fights than ever. The more popular it gets the less of a need they will have to put big names on these free fights (especially on FX). Fox will always get a big name fighter in the Main Event (there's only 4 on Fox a year) because that reaches a mainstream audience. GSP is a huge earner on PPV so I don't ever see him on Fox but I could see a guy like Bones Jones getting on there on one of the 1st 2 Fox cards in 2012. Maybe even Silva-Sonnen bc I always hear that neither of them draw as much on PPV's as we would think. Only time will tell but instead of complaining about things enjoy all the events we are watching these days. It's pretty amazing.

THIS is why we need to all band together and stop ordering PPVs. If the POV numbers go down the ufc will realize they need to switch theirgame plan from ppv to free tv. If you buy a ppv you are just contributing to the problem.

I see the potential for a real snooze-fest as Guillard will most likely be scared yet defensive. Either Jim lays on him for an unanimous decision or they wall-n-stall and jab around for who-the-fuck-cares-who-wins-but-probably-Melvin split decision.

I think MMA has some of the dumbest fucking fans ever....worst than hockey. FX is not FOX and this card is typical for a fight a that would be either on Spike or Versus. As for the fighters, both Guillard and Miller were on long win streaks before their untimely losses. It's a great match-up and a fight I believe many fans would've wanted to see if both had won their last fights. Both are coming off losses which makes this fight even more interesting because both will be hungry/desperate for a win.I want to pick Guillard in this fight, but I think Miller has decent enough stand up to hang with Melvin and is far superior than him on the ground. Miller wants to get back to his winning ways so I think he gets this fight to the ground as soon as possible and wins via submission.
