The UFC confirms Jim Miller vs. Nate Diaz will be the five round main event of UFC on Fox 3, taking place May 5 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ.

The lightweight scrap is almost guaranteed to have "fight of the year" potential, but whether it resonates with casual viewers en route to the broadcast will all depend on how Zuffa--and Fox--market both fighters.

One would expect the winner to be next in line for a lightweight title shot.
