    Is likely to be Dan Miller at UFC114, so i hear.

    Miller is coming off a decision loss to Demian Maia, and we all know what happened in Bispings last fight.

    What do you guys think of this match up? Do you see it as bisping getting a 'easier' opponent to build him up AGAIN, or is Miller a legitimate opponent who is realistically more on Bispings level that Wandy/Henderson?

    Miller is definatly legit, if Mike wins then it will be his biggest win in my opinion.

    For all of Bispings faults, I see this as a winnable fight for him. Miller isn't really known for his KO power (1 KO win in 14 fights, and that was a corner stoppage) and okay, Bisping may well have tapped against Wandys guillotine, but I could easily see Bisping grinding out an unconvincing decision win.

    My problems with Bisping have always stemmed from the fact that he talks so much shit, but fails to back it up. He's an average fighter IMO, who's looked okay in patches, but will never make a top 10 fighter. As soon as he realises this, and stops all the shit talking, he will gain a lot more respect.

    I don't know TBH. Miller has poor standup and very little power but so does Bisping. Miller however is excellent on the ground, very good BJJ. He has some good success in grappling tourtuemnts. Simply, Miller has to practice his takedowns to get Bisping down and submit him, and its not that difficult to do. For Bisping to win, he has to fight the way he did against Kang in the second round and Wandy in the first. He has pretty solid takedowns and from there he can do damage with knees and GnP, because his punches have no power behind them. This is a tough fight.
