Matt Hughes vs Carlos Newton

4.5/10

Rnd 1: 10-9 Miller. Tripped him down a couple of times. Controlled the clinch mostly. Controlled for a while on the ground landing GnP with punches and elbows. Advanced positions. Zikic landed some knees to the body in the clinch and a good right hand thats it. Rnd 2: 10-9 Miller. Relentless pressure from Miller with his wrestling but he looks really tired now. Landed some takedowns and had some control time. Landed a bit of GnP. Zikic defended nicely but thats all he did. Rnd 3: 10-9 Zikic. Miller pressuring again with his wrestling and this time Zikic catches a guillotine and Miller falls on his back. Zikic controls him for a while landing GnP from Full guard. Makes a mistake after a while and Miller reverses. They get up and they exchange some good strikes. Zikic getting the better of it landing some hard right hands. Total: 29-28 Phillip Miller Resume: Miller showed some relentless wrestling. Good control and GnP. Good cardio for his style. Pretty bad striking. No defense especially. Hands arent really there. Zikic had ok boxing. Good right hand. Some good knees in the clinch. Nice grappling defense but couldnt really get Miller off him.
