UFC 128 Results: Jim Miller TKO's Kamal Shalorus in Round 3
Posted on March 19, 2011, 10:36 PM by Anton GurevichJim Miller moved one step closer to the UFC Lightweight title shot, this time defeating the previously unbeaten Kamal Shalorus via a vicious knee-stirkes combination. Miller controlled all three rounds of the fight, with unorthodox submission attempts, well-timed striking and great wrestling.
Shalorus looked focus throughout the fight, but was unable to give an adequate answer to Miller's aggression. The Prince of Persia was also unable to utilize his elite Wrestling skills, which were a key factor behind 10 of his previous MMA career victories.
It was Miller's 7th consecutive victory inside the Octagon, and 20th overall in his career. Miller lost only two fights in his career, one to the reigning Champion Frankie Edgar, and another to the current challenger Gray Maynard. And with George Sotiropoulos being out of the title race due to defeat against Dennis Siver at UFC 127, Miller may find himself in the #1 Contender bout against the winner of Pettis-Guida showdown.

Jim Miller just keeps looking better and better. His standup looked good tonight.
Great fight.
Give him the loser of Edgar - Maynard 2
no chance he's had 7 wins in a row man i think he should get the next shot at the title.
i agree but Pettis will beat Guida
Pettis will beat Miller hands down!
Miller is good but Shalarous was top 5 in the WEC!
behind Varner,Cerrone,Henderson and Pettis!
just in the WEC and theres still another 7 top guys better than Miller
Hes not even Top or maybe barely , but saying he may be the no.1 is a joke seriously
I though this would be fight of the night or something of the night...but i guess next time..What did Jim say after he won the fight?...i was at the bar and i couldn't listen
DEEEZ NUTZ!!!!-jim
