Joe Lauzon (26-12) vs. Jim Miller (26-8, 1 No Contest)

-

Class: Lightweigh­t Line: Lauzon minus-145 Storyline: Most UFC cards have a fight outside the main event that fans circle as the one with the potential to be the most fun to watch. That’s this one. In fact, they each won a fight of the night bonus when they fought for the first time in 2012. Miller won by unanimous decision, but that means little in the rematch with the way the action went back and forth in the first meeting. Both guys had outstandin­g performanc­es in quick victories at UFC 200 last month at T-Mobile Arena, and they were almost immediatel­y matched up for the rematch. There isn’t much to break down from a stylistic standpoint. Both have outstandin­g submission skills, but have no problem scrambling and brawling. It would be shocking if this isn’t a fun fight to watch.
