Could Jim Miller Make 145?

[Arkridge]

Simple question. He looked at his best last night, but the fact stands that when he faced a top 5er in the division, he takes an L. I think he could find alot more success at 145, if he could make the drop.

What do you guys think?

 

[ChoppinD]

I don't know if he could make 145. I do know that he could cause problems in that division. I always like seeing him fight and would be happy with him at 145/155.

 

[J0N0]

Probably could in theory, but it's not like he's getting outmuscled so I don't see the need. He beat Tibau who's the biggest strongest fighter in the division.

 

[Phlogiston]

Yes. He's never missed weight and looks to be about medium sized as far as 155ers go.

 

[LordStanleysCup]

As long as Aldo is there, no one will really make it there.

what's the fascination with wanting guys to drop weight divisions?

And regarding Miller pretty sure in a Fuel TV interview, he was asked the same question on potentially fighting at Featherweight he said getting to LW was enough of a struggle.

**Think Miller did fight once as a Featherweight earlier in his career and Jim said getting to 145 was a tough cut

 

[mattf]

I am not sure he could or could not, I would think if he had to he could but who knows.

 

[rerun406]

and why bring this up after Miller's coming off a big win over Lauzon.

 

[jsyankees12]

He walks around at about 180-190 so no I'd say he's gunna stay at LW

 

[xBarnmuckerx]

Top 10 isn't good enough? He's an awesome fighter and he looked terrific last night. He's lost to Gray, Bendo, Frankie and Nate. 4 top guys. He's a damn beast and shouldn't think about dropping down.

 

[BrutalBoy]

he doesnt look that big, but she does say he can get up to 180-190

 

[Agmkreptile]

A call for a fighter to drop after a win? Don't see that everyday. If anyone should drop it's Lauzon. He'd have the best BJJ at featherweight.

 

[Diet Otsuka]

Didn't he get a kidney infection when he cut for the bendo fight?
Yeah, probably a good move to stay at 155.

 

[jsyankees12]

Didn't he get a kidney infection when he cut for the bendo fight?
Yeah, probably a good move to stay at 155.

Got mono and fighting and training with it gave him the kidney infection

 

[Diet Otsuka]

Got mono and fighting and training with it gave him the kidney infection

In that case i'd like to see him at BW.

 

[Dust2000]

He has expressed disdain throughout his career for the WEC weight classes so no

 

[dempseyroll90]

miller is way to stocky. lauzon could probably make 145. the end all to being a great fighter isnt cutting weight; just improve on your weaknesses.
