UFC 155 bjöd på en del godbitar, särskilt matchen mellan Jim Miller och Joe Lauzon som slutligen belönades med ”Fight of the Night”. Här kan ni läsa vad Jim har att säga om förberedelserna och mötet, via ”Bloody Elbow”:
It played out pretty good for me in the first round. I came out and wanted to set the pace. I have an aggressive as well, and it seemed like he was getting a lot of attention before the fight for his aggression. But I think I pretty clearly out-aggressioned the most aggressive guy on our roster.
Standing elbows are something I’ve been working on for a couple of years now.It’s just one of those things where you have to get the reps in. I’ve done thousands of standing elbows now, and when I’m sparring with guys and we aren’t throwing elbows, I have to prevent myself from elbowing them. Which is what I want. I want it to come automatically and it has finally reached that point.
The heel hook and ankle lock got a little uncomfortable, but I wasn’t really in pain from it. As soon as he threw it we hit the mat and I started reaching for his hand. I got my heel driven through so it turned into a straight ankle lock. I made the note to myself that he was just going to have to break it.
Vad som väntar Miller efter segern är i dagsläget oklart.
