Jim Miller (25-8-0) vs. “The Fireball Kid” Takanori Gomi (35-11-0)
With so many eye-popping fights on this card, many will sleep on just how exciting the prelims for Saturday’s event could be, and that begins with Jim Miller taking on Takanori Gomi. This is a clear clash of styles, with Gomi looking for the knockout, while Miller is expected to attempt to drag Gomi to the ground and grind out a submission. Gomi’s going to need to avoid the ground at all costs, as his submission defense is porous, having been submitted six times in his career. Gomi may be able to catch Miller, but that’s just about his only hope here, and I expect Miller to wear Gomi down and find his way to victory.
Prediction: Jim Miller wins via submission
