Jim Miller vs. Charles Oliveira is an exciting matchup between two fighters rising up the ranks. Jim Miller has been climbing the lightweight ladder for two years now, and other than a loss to Gray Maynard in 2008 has won all of his UFC fights. Charles Oliveira on the other hand has only had two UFC fights but has shot up the ranks quickly after winning them both in a dominating fashion. There is quite a lot of hype surrounding Oliveira at this point in his career and it shows as he is the favorite going into this fight. People are overlooking Jim Miller however, apparently not realizing his only two losses are to Gray Maynard and current Lightweight Champ Frankie Edgar, the top two men in the lightweight division at the moment.

With all this said, the real question is how well do Miller and Oliveira match up? The answer is very interesting, as both men have the majority of their wins via submission. Now the hype on Oliveira surrounds his BJJ, so one can expect him to come into this fight wielding superior submissions, which is Miller’s favorite way to finish fights. Jim Miller is no stranger to decisions though, and is perfectly capable of grinding one out. Although on paper it seems like a fight Miller is destined to lose, the scrappy veteran shouldn’t be counted out, as he has won all but two of his fights, and the two losses come from the most elite of opponents. Expect Miller to score the minor upset and derail the Charles Oliveira hype train, and perhaps finally place a little hype around himself in the process.
