UFC FX1 RESULTS

 

By: Anthony L. Gonzalez

In a very important lightweight battle for rankings, Jim Miller was able to withstand a lot of powerful strikes by Melvin Guillard and was able to defeat Guillard by a rear naked choke in Round 1. Miller was able to takedown Guillard after a flying knee attempt and it is was all downhill from there for Guillard. That was the mistake that caused Miller to use his superior ground skills and pick up the victory.

“I don’t get knocked down often, and he knocked me down. So he hits hard,” Miller said of Guillard after the fight,. “I just found a way to the back. That’s something I’ve always been able to do and from there it was just securing a position. I’m pretty confident that I’m the most dangerous lightweight in the world and I’m willing to make you guys believe that in here.”

Jim Miller improves to 21-3. Melvin Guillard falls to 29-10-2.
