Dan Miller vs. Joe Doerksen
Doerksen is one of the game’s veterans that old-school fans appreciate. He’s fought everyone and everywhere, and he has a subtle submission game that’s often overlooked because he isn’t the kind of guy to engage in crazy exchanges. Miller probably has the edge in both the striking and wrestling, and definitely has less mileage on him. While Doerksen is able to lock up sneaky submissions if you give him virtually any opening, his standup has always been a weak point in his game.
Look for Miller to score points on the feet and wear Doerksen down before taking it to the ground, where he’ll score a third-round knockout.
