    So i'm pretty sure a few of yous heard about the scuffle backstage between diaz and Miller after Strikeforce at the weekend.Coker has said that a grudge match isn't out of the question.I don't know about you but i would absolutely love to see this fight. What do you think? and who do you think would win? My opinion would be miller i could see him giving Diaz a beatdown.

    How it all started...

    Well he definately ain't fighting Jake Shields now eh? :)

    Miller is a fun guy and i'd love to be able to support him... but he's simply not an A class fighter.

    He's not even a B class fighter!

    Diaz, IMO, is very close to being an A class fighter (although he needs to take on the best to become an A class fighter) and Diaz would and will handle Miller easily! Better BJJ, better Boxing.... better everything!

    Size matters people. Diaz is a good fighter, but is very particular about the weight he fights at. Its because of him that strikeforce setup their 165lbs division. he was too big for 155, but a smallish 170lbs. While he has fought at 185lbs before, it hasnt been against top level talent. Miller at 185 could prove a difficult opponent for him.

    i don't know how you can say Miller is not even a B class fighter? he's gone 5 rounds with both Shields and GSP, and had has some pretty impresive wins, including one of his most recent over Sakuraba at DREAM16. so to say hes not even B class is unfair. another thing Diaz is good but at a catchweight i could see miller stopping him. Don't get me wrong it could go either way but there's no way Diaz would dominate Miller.

    Would love to see this fight. Miller is a tough bastard and doesn't give up easy. Diaz is the better technical fighter but would love to see his face get mushed!

    Anyway, this all depends if Diaz agrees to a catchweight and why would he when he is sitting comfortably with the belt.

    Miller needs to focus on his mma career. Really don't wanna see another Mir Lesnar obsession case

    yeah i agree, i think miller needs to concentrate more on himself and not rivalries. All the same though, id pay for the ppv of this if there ever was a fight. MILLER for the win

    Hold on, since when does beating Sakuraba make you an A fighter?

    Not in 2010 my friend! Also, going 5 rounds with Jake Shields and losing doesn't make you an A class fighter. Neither does going THREE rounds with GSP and losing a one sided decision 5 years ago!

    Beating Shields and GSP, that would make you an A fighter! He's NOWHERE near the Top 10 in this weightclass and i'd have him barely scraping into the Top 20!

    As much as i like Miller, he's definately no A fighter!

    i don't know. I think hes B class at least. Maybe it's just me but i find the guy funny. You clearly have a dislike for him with that previous reply anyways lol The main point is I want to see him and Diaz go at it!

    I really like him. The guy is hilarious and i cheer him on in almost every fight i see him involved in.

    But he's never beating a Top 5 MW or WW IMO!

    Diaz is a strange one for me too.

    Part of me hates him because he's a bully. he all knew people like him at school.

    But he's really talented and he speaks his mind. I like that! Also, he always shows respect AFTER the fight so maybe it's just a confidence thing with him?

    I'd love to see how he's match up with the top UFC guys these days

    I really hate Mauro Ranallo. Complete clown... it is just cringe watching him.

    It would be an interesting fight and it would make sense for Strikeforce to book it.
