Former Ultimate Fighter housemates Cole Miller and Matt Wiman went at it at the UFC Fight for the Troops 2 on Saturday night, and in a surprising result, it was Wiman who took the fight to Miller for 15 minutes, grounding and pounding his way to a one-sided unanimous decision.
The win improves Wiman’s record to 13-5 and puts him on a three-fight winning streak. Miller falls to 17-5 with one of the most disappointing showings of his career, a fight in which he hardly ever got off his back and took a serious beating.
“I was going through a lot of nerves before this fight,” Wiman said. “It was probably the most nervous I’ve been.”
Those nerves didn’t show — Wiman looked poised and confident.

This is the UFC Fight Night 22 live blog for Cole Miller vs. Ross Pearson, a lightweight bout on tonight’s UFC on Spike TV event from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.
Pearson (11-3) was the winner of season nine’s The Ultimate Fighter and is so far unbeaten in his UFC career. Miller (16-4), who is returning from an injury which forced him out of a planned bout in March, was last seen inside the Octagon in January in an impressive submission win over Dan Lauzon at UFC 108.

Former Ultimate Fighter winner Ross Pearson fought a good first round against Cole Miller Wednesday night at UFC Fight Night 22, but a good first round wasn’t enough.
Miller turned the fight around with a sensational comeback in the second, winning a great fight to start off the night’s televised card, and he said afterward that he was proud to have finished his fight.
“I’m just happy I came out here and did what I said I was going to do,” Miller said. “I see all these wrestlers, point fighting strikers and lay and pray jiu jitsu guys all doing the same thing. Nobody tries to finish, pass guard, mount, nothing, just control the clock. This ain’t football. People got to come in here and fight.”

I don’t know about you, but when I sit through a bunch of commercials encouraging me to play an endless stream of video games on my rented TV while eating a fast-food breakfast, I expect to be rewarded with some quality fights. Fortunately, last night’s UFC Fight Night event didn’t let me down, even if I still woke up and ate a banana this morning instead of a 500-calorie grease bowl.
The big lesson we learned from last night’s fights is that if you are in a situation where another human being is trying to hurt you, it’s probably best to keep your attention on that person at all times. Don’t look away. Don’t get distracted by your oppnent’s soft, slippery smooth skin. Don’t assume that he would never hit a person who isn’t making direct eye contact with him. He totally will, and it will totally be your fault when he does.
Rousimar Palhares learned that lesson at the hands of Nate Marquardt last night, and he learned it in painful fashion. Let’s just hope he only has to learn it once. Now, on to the big winners, losers, and everything in between from last night’s fights.
