Not ignoring that ego-fueled jaw-jacking, and not using his brain is why Gurgel is not with the UFC anymore and instead is with Strikeforce. Being with Strikeforce is still a good deal, but the UFC is a better deal.

Pretty much my assessment as well, carls.
I understand that a lot of guys get suckered into the whole, “toe to toe, lets throw hands” striking mindset, but IMO that’s a self-defeating fight style for a lot of guys. Sure, if you’re Mirko CroCop you want to keep the fight in the middle of the ring and both guys striking, but when you have a broader skill-set that includes submission wrestling and/or Bjj, you need to ignore that ego-fueled jaw-jacking, use your brains, and grab a body part and crank until you see a tap or feel a snap, its that simple.
I also see this as Miller winning by submission in the first round.

This could be interesting in the fact that miller likes to bang it out sometimes and thats obviously what Aaron is coming into this fight wanting to do. But miller knows he needs a win right now and I see him doing what got him the IFL championship, and to where he is right now. Which is his wrestling and BBJ fusion of attack. Not to mention before he fought mckenzie(who has no notable wins to his career)his opponents had a combined record of 3-5. Expect Simpson to get overwhelmed early.
Miller sub rnd 1
