Nate Diaz will earn an opportunity at the lightweight title with a convincing win over Jim Miller in the main event of the UFC on Fox 3 this weekend.
According to ESPN.com, Diaz would land a place in the lightweight title fight with a win over Miller on Saturday in New Jersey.
UFC president Dana White has said a win by Diaz assures him of landing the Ben Henderson–Frankie Edgar winner. That bout is scheduled to take place Aug. 11 at UFC 150 in Denver.
Diaz has enjoyed great success over the last few years, winning five of his last eight fights, including two consecutive victories
One thing that makes Diaz such a difficult person to beat is that he never gives up and has impressive stamina.
He brings a ton of energy to every fight and won’t give in easily. Miller has an impressive 21-3 record, but few of his fights have been against someone as talented as Diaz.
With the fight of his career on the line, Diaz won’t let an opportunity for a major fight at UFC 150 in August pass him by.
He knows that a lightweight title would help make him a legitimate star in the MMA world, and also help his career rise to new heights.
Against an opponent he can beat, and with a chance for a title fight at stake, Diaz will knock out Miller in an exciting bout all MMA fans must watch.
