Jim Miller vs Vinc Pichel Tips & Fight Predictions - bettingexpert

Miller went the distance and won was in 2016 against fellow UFC veteran Thiago Alves (1-4 in his last 5). After suffering a KO to Donald Cerrone Miller has fought eighteen times and has amassed a 8-10 record. That’s not looking good to me. Especially since he’s been finished a handful of times in the process.

Jim Miller vs Vinc Pichel Fight Predictions: UFC 252 ‘Prelims’ Main Event

While Miller is still a solid submission-artist, you need a larger toolbox in this day and age to make it in the UFC: ‘the pinnacle’ of MMA. Miller loses fights where his opponent doesn’t want to go to the ground with him, and even though Pichel is a strong grappler, I think he’s smart enough to avoid being submitted here. After all, Pichel has only been submitted once in his career, by Gregor Gillespie.
