Las Vegas, Nevada – The Ultimate Fighting Championship® announced today that it will return to Nashville, Tenn. on Friday, Jan. 20, as lightweight contenders Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller collide in the night’s main event from Bridgestone Arena.
Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller are set to headline the inaugural UFC on FX as announced this afternoon on the UFC twitter feed. Both fighters were a few wins away from competing for the lightweight title, however both had been derailed with a loss in their last fights.
With a sport that has been proven time and time again that anything can happen, the UFC 136 bout card was put together to manufacture a guaranteed win for all fans. If you're the type that picks and chooses which events to watch at home, this one was a no-brainer to get the most bang out of your 59.99 HD pay-per-view bucks. We knew that the main event was going to be as epic as a Hollywood movie fight scene. We knew that Kenny Florian was going to be the toughest test Jose Aldo was going to face. We knew Chael was going to spit some outrageous banter once he had a chance to grab a mic. We knew that we were going to want to see Phan versus Garcia fight a third time, even though they haven't yet fought the second time. Kudos again to Joe Silva. Job well done. My turn to take a crack at picking who's next for the winners and losers of last night.
