An epic matchup in between Jim Miller and Nate Diaz was announced tuesday night by Dana White via twitter. The fight will go down at the Izod Center in Miller's homestate of New Jersey on May 5th.
"Our 3rd FOX fight May 5th at the IZOD Center in New Jersey will feature Nate Diaz vs Jim Miller!!! Nate = 3 sub and 5 FON Jim = 3 SON!!"
The stakes are even higher as the winner will most likely be placed at #1 contender status. Both men are coming off very impressive victories. Miller bested the always dangerous Melvin Guillard just last week on the UFC's inaugural show on FX, ending it in the first round with a rear naked choke.
Diaz put on a display of complete domination over the fast rising star from the WEC, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone.
Both men have a ton of momentum behind them and when they collide sparks will surely fly and it will be fun to see who is standing when the dust settles. Both are wizards in the submission game but the striking edge goes to Diaz, which Miller more than makes up for with gameness, aggression and tenacity. No other fights have been announced for the card but expect a lineup consisting of great fighters from New Jersey and New York.
