Yeah ... well man I wouldn't be surprised if this happened, Oliveira is an absolute monster! But Jim Miller is solid and will (hopefully) be able to shut him down.

The only thing Miller has over Oliveira is Wrestling.
I truly believe Oliveira is the future of this devision.

Oliveira is wreckless and Miller is a good wrestler. This won't be pretty and it won't be FOTN but Miller has only lost to the two top guys in the division and he isn't losing here. Jim Miller is not Dan, Jims legit.

I don't doubt this at all, however he's still quite young so he has plenty of time.

I don't think Miller is going to be as sucessful in the clinch or at getting Oliveira against the cage as people think. I hope I am wrong and Miller takes him down with ease, but I don't see him having a significant advantage there either to be honest.
He probably has to fight an all around style for 3 rounds to get this win, but he can. I think he will surprize a lot of people standing up though.
Watching Oliveira live at Fight Night 22 here in Austin was truly awesome- the kid is so relaxed and talented it's sick. That being said I do think Miller is the type of fighter who could give him the most trouble by being physical, out-wrestling and avoiding subs. Even with that I think Charles will win this though I wouldn't be shocked if Miller can grind out a UD win but I think Oliveira will be able to pull this out by the closest of margins.
My biggest worry is how this type of fight will be scored by the judges and could have both camps pissed if it goes to decision.
Win or lose- Oliveira is future superstar with scary potential if he fufills it.
