It's not a title shot but it'll do.
Surging lightweight Jim Miller will keep on trucking his way to top contender status when he takes on Ben Henderson at UFC on Versus 5 on Aug. 14, 2011, at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
MyCentralJersey.com brought word of the pending match-up earlier today.
More on this in just a bit.

Holy Hell!
This needs to be the main event. that is a sick fight
I am actually favoring bendo via slight wrestling advantage but I think Miller has better hands
That is a great matchup

Amazing fight. Would suck hard for Miller if he had this win streak going and lost here.

Bed Henderson. Miller losses while once again taking on a top fighter... He hasn't done that in a while.

I think both guys have plenty of talent standing and on the ground, I think Bendo has better wrestling but Miller has slightly better hands and I think both have great BJJ so this fight could go either way. I will take Bendo by UD though as I think he can control Miller with his wrestling to work some of his clinch game much like he did with Bocek and get the nod on the scorecards.
Should be a great fight though, well done Joe Silva.

I think is a good match up
but I would have rather seen
Miller vs Pettis and Guida vs Bendo
because Miller deserves to fight for a title shot and Guida doesnt

I want Ben to win but I'll take Miller by Split Decision.

I know Miller has improved but considering Bocek took him to the brink last year and that Henderson beat Bocek's ***...I'll lean toward Henderson, to not doubt him twice. (I never had to doubt Miller over that 40 year old guy and 20 year old kid.)
Good sounding matchup.

This fight will be a hard & technical 15 minutes. Both are well rounded fighters and have the cardio! Oh man will this be dope!

MIller is going to beat Bendo, but Bendo is one of the fighters with the most potential at LW so it should be a fun fight

I have mixed feelings about this, I like em both, Bendo more. I think Jim Millers dope but I think he needs to beat some top names for a title shot, he's beat alot of tough guys (you can dispute the Bocek decision) but no one at the top tier of the LW division. Bendo has the wrestling to take Miller down a few times a round, he's gone 5 rounds before and is an amazing athlete, coupled with his amazing sub D this is a very winnable fight for him. Can't wait!
