Miller vs Gordon Prediction

Jim Miller returns to the lightweight division in this fight after an unimpressive run as a welterweight. Although he submitted Donald Cerrone in his welterweight return at UFC 276, Miller couldn't build off that win, losing to Alexander Hernandez by unanimous decision in the subsequent fight.

Meanwhile, Jared Gordon hopes to get back in the win column. He's picked up a pair of losses in his last four fights and was knocked unconscious in his last bout after he and Bobby Green collided heads, resulting in a no-contest.

At the end of the day, I predict that Gordon will walk out victorious at UFC Vegas 74. He's averaging more significant strikes per minute (5.32) with better accuracy (57%) than his upcoming opponent (2.85 and 41%, respectively). Furthermore, Gordon also has solid enough takedown defense (62%) that will help him survive any of Miller's grappling attempts.

With the age advantage also being on his side by five years, watch for Gordon to get his groove back against the near-40-year-old Miller.

Winner: Jared Gordon

Miller vs Gordon Best Bet

The moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a Gordon outright win at -200 odds the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC Vegas 74 for more playable options.
