UFC 328: Jim Miller vs. Jared Gordon: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Miller over Gordon, as he has the edge in terms of stylistic matchup. Miller is an elite grappler who likes to take the fight on the ground to maximize his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, while Gordon is more of a striker.
Gordon has struggled to defend takedowns in his recent bouts, and I’m not sure whether the injury to his right knee is a major factor. But he has the experience to defend submissions and has the ability to pop back to his feet.
At 42, Miller is still a solid fighter, even though Father Time has caught up with him already. With his grappling game, he is still able to compete at a high level because he minimizes the damage he takes from opponents and controls them for most of a fight.
