10 Predictions For UFC 196

By Jay Anderson /

10. Diego Sanchez Vs. Jim Miller

Weight Class: Lightweight You might wonder what on earth popular veterans Diego Sanchez (25-8) and Jim Miller (25€“7 (1)) are doing on the Fight Pass preliminary card of UFC 196, and not the Fox card or the PPV itself. Well, for the most part, it seems to be a move to get more eyeballs on Fight Pass, the UFC's online service offering live fights and its tape archive, plus original shows. Realistically, while both fighters are coming off a loss, both are still tough match-ups for anyone in the division. Sanchez, the middleweight winner of the original Ultimate Fighter, and Miller, a gutsy fighter with an excellent submission game, might be getting a little long in the tooth, but they're not over the hill yet. Both are in rough patches and coming off a loss, but this should be a fantastic fight. Who takes it? Sanchez will look to turn this into a classic Diego Sanchez fight - an ugly brawl where he keeps walking forward. Miller wants to take Sanchez down and choke him out. Side with Miller in this one.
