Miller: 'I have the advantage against Penn'

[Wild]

Despite having just 24 days to prepare for a former two-division champion and UFC Hall of Famer, Cole Miller said he’ll have the upper hand against UFC 199 opponent B.J. Penn.

“I think it’s better for me, to be honest,” Miller told the Anik Florian Podcast. “I kind of wish these guys would call me up on two weeks’ notice every single time – when you got a guy like me who doesn’t care about just being a winner.

“All I do is train my martial arts and try to be a well-rounded fighter, and I go in there – these guys have eight to 12 weeks training specifically for me, and they get five or six training partners because they can’t find one guy who is 6-feet tall at 145 (pounds) who’s got my skills. I wish they would always call me up on short notice.”

He's right, he is going to derail BJ's hype train.

Decision goes his way.

 

[Kingtony87]

Most times he'd be right but penn has about a decade of fighting guys far bigger and more skilled then Miller.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

What else is he suppose to say?

I hope bj doesn't tip toe around this time. So sad to watch.

Speaking of miller..isn't mayhem fighting this weekend?

Really gonna come down to BJ's cardio. If BJ really comes in shape, he should at least win a decision. He really needs to live in ABQ New Mexico from now on until he retires if he wants any shot of getting close to sniffing the title again

 

[Wild]

I'll be taking PayPal bets for this one when the odds are out. I've got Penn.

 

[StillReal]

I really don't like this match up for Penn.

I hope we get to see a blood lickin' BJ, even if its just for one final time.

Wild betting on wildcards.

I got no hunch for this fight.

I've never done a paypal bet in my life. I got 10 on Miller.

Confirmed.

In shape BJ should get a RNC stoppage but ring rust is real

I'm picking Penn by takedown to rnc transition.

 

[Megatron Robinson]

I'm more concerned about BJs ring rust than his ability to compete at his age.
