Matt Wiman brings it every fight and it paid off tonight at Fight for the Troops 2. He went hard from start to finish and overwhelmed Cole Miller. Wiman took a unanimous decision, 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27, in the first televised fight at Fight for the Troops 2 at Fort Hood in Killeen, Tx.
Wiman said he was extremely nervous before the fight. Those nerves served him well. He fought like he was on the verge of losing his job. He's now won three straight and is a very solid 6-3 with the promotion.
Miller, an excellent submission artist, tried to stand and bang with Wiman early on, but the pace was too much. Wiman was smart in his striking approach. He refused to stay on the outside against the rangy 6-foot-1 Miller. Wiman covered up on the way in and bullied Miller.
On the ground, Miller posed zero threat from his back. Wiman made sure to stay active and never got lazy when he was in Miller's guard. With a win, Miller was likely going to face WEC transfer Donald Cerrone. That's probably off for now.
