Jim Miller vs. Kamal Shalorus

Jim Miller's been on a roll. Can anyone tell me about this guy he's fighting? Haven't heard much about him nor seen him fight.

Jone's takedowns is really gonna keep Rua from throwing kicks (he's best attribute) but I still can't see Jones trading hands with Rua on the feet. Interesting fight but I'm taking Rua.

Kamal Shalorus


High level wrestler from Iran, hits very hard, has very little technique,and can't see how Jim Miller doesn't easily win a decision

Should be a good rematch, but sucks for Pham. He beat Garcia solidly in their bout and the judges screwed him. Wonder who he will fight next...

Lightweight bout: Jim Miller vs. Kamal Shalorus
Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs. Dan Miller
Heavyweight bout: Mirko Filipovic vs. Brendan Schaub

i love bones jones, but this is a tough matchup for him. shogun is too good and too experienced and bones had a short camp to prep for him. i think he'll lose, but i think within a year, he'll be right back in title contention with a much better shot at winning

I agree 100%. I can see Jones losing this fight, but coming back and winning the belt when he's a little more experienced/well-rounded (similar to the gsp/hughes fights).....even though shogun is much better all around than hughes.

I think if Shogun is anywhere near where he was in either Machida fight he will win. I love Bones and think his ceiling is very high, but I just think Shogun is the better, more experienced fighter right now.

Hoping for a great fight either way.

Shogun doesn't have the best wrestling and Jones has phenomenal wrestling. I think Jones looks to take the fight to the ground early and test Shogun there. Shogun has been taken down easily in the past by guys who weren't even known as good wrestlers in his career. I think this is a fight Shogun has to win with his jujitsu because he is going to spend a lot of time on his back imo.

I've been a Jones fan for sometime now. Ever since I first saw him fight. My favorite fighter, and soon to be heavy weight champion.
ps. anyone know where I can get the fight online? I need to tape it because I can't watch it live. I have something to do and I want to see it right when I get home.
