Dec 11, 2010
Victorious Dan Miller has high praise for Doerksen's chin - not to mention his elbows.

Dec 11, 2010
With the question of style vs substance, there aren't fighters more respected than Dan Miller and Joe Doerksen. With Miller's 4 UFC wins including a submission, and Winnipeg's Doerksen with a winning 11 year career, it'll be an exciting bout.
