The UFC's huge broadcast deal with Fox means that the bulk of live UFC coverage has now moved from Spike to the FX and Fuel networks. The first live card to air on FX will take place on Friday, January 20th in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena (as the poster above helpfully points out). The main event will see two top lightweight contenders looking to get back in the win column as Jim Miller will face off with Melvin Guillard. This will only be a three-round fight, despite Dana White stating last year that all main events will be five rounds. The prelims will be aired on Fuel after all. There have been many last-minute changes to this card, but here's how it looks right now (prelims are after the jump):
Jan 20th, live on FX from Nashville, TN:
Main Card:
Jim Miller (20-3) vs. Melvin Guillard (29-9-2)
Duane Ludwig (21-11) vs. Josh Neer (32-10-1)
Mike Easton (11-1) vs. Jared Papazian (14-6, 1 NC)
Pat Barry (6-4) vs. Christian Morecraft (7-2)
Preliminary Card:
Charlie Brenneman (14-3) vs. Daniel Roberts (12-3)
Kamal Shalorus (7-1-2) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov (16-0)
Fabricio Camoes (13-6-1) vs. TBA
Jorge Rivera (19-9) vs. Eric Schafer (12-6-2)
Nick Denis (10-2) vs. Joseph Sandoval (6-1)
Daniel Pineda (14-7) vs. Pat Schilling (5-0)

Not a very good supporting card
Outside of the main and co-main.
But on the plus side – A UFC CARD WITH JON ANIK!!!

Did they say who the he’ll be announcing with? My guess is Florian.

No but they did say "UFC fighter"
It could very well be rotational

Most likely be between Mir, Florian, and Bonnar right?

So did Florian, Mir, and Bonnar.
Florian may have even done two dry runs. Plus he filled in for Rogan at 134 and he is on UFC Tonight or the post fight show.

Florian is painful to listen to IMO
Bonnar is much more fun and went Full Ahnold in the fifth round of Henderson/Pettis. Mir is somewhere in between. I just don’t want to listen to Florian again.
florian is monotone
bonnar is exciting and fun
mir talks more about himself sometimes which is funny. or if he likes a fighter he seems to only talk about them
I guess there might be some universe in which a Melvin Guillard fight is going to be decided in rounds four or five
but I can’t really imagine it.
This is an oule.

I want to pick Guillard by KO
But damn Melvin has lost 8 of his 9 defeats by submission, 7 of them via choke. That is inexcusable.

Solid free fight card
Miller is going to sub Guillard though. Might get dropped but it’ll lead to a sub.

Whatever the results of their next fights
I’d love to see Dunham vs Miller in a five rounder somehow.

I think because PPVs and FOX are the ones with five round MEs
There is no way we will see a LW main event that is non-title unless Melendez is in the UFC.

blah
blah blah guillard blah blah blah fadin
Miller should be able to do the same thing Joe and Joe did, but I can also see him going down like Dunham and the wec veteran.
no more faith in melvin he loses focus to much
miller
neer
i don’t know the guy he is fighting but i have seen easton fight
barry
brenneman
nurmagomedov
fabricio camoes versus player 2
schafer
last two matches i have no clue
I like how the UFC went directly against the NFL playoffs with a PPV headlined by a FW title fight
And then with no major sporting events on Saturday they book a FN show for Friday night.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
I think most FX shows are going to be on Friday nights (along with the TUF live fights).

Well the next FN in Australia is on Saturday
So maybe not.
If so, are they trying to exploit an historically dead night in sports or TV in general?

As for the reasoning, I can see three reasons -
1. What you said.
2. They’re trying to compete with the WWE and kill the Smackdown rating (big longshot)
3. They’re rather not do them on Saturdays so they don’t have to compete with boxing.

No.
Morecraft isn’t good. Neither is Barry, but he is less not good.
Ruining Your Special Night with all caps and the like. Be prepared to be disappointed. But not by us. Because of us.... We're not disappointing, it's the things we say to you, and.... fuck it, everyone else sucks. Mmkay?

Struve isn't good. Tim Hague isn't good
They only have to be good enough to get the fight to the ground. Morecraft can do that.

Pat Barry sang California Dreamin’ with Mirko Cro Cop though. Morecraft’s suckitude may cause him to explode when he stands across the ring from Barry.

Morecraft can probably get a takedown and land some brutal ground and pound
Once the Strikeforce HWs move over both of these guys will be gone. Chad Griggs would crush Pat Barry.

I like Griggs, but I honestly don’t think he’s that good of a fighter, and I don’t see how he crushes Pat Barry. At least Barry has some technical skills in the standup, while Griggs is pretty much just a brawler.

Barry has got some great stand-up skills
But he has no damn idea how to use them. And his killer instinct definitely sucks. Re-watching the Antoni Hardonk fight he clearly had Hardonk’s number and he spent so much time stalking and picking his shots.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
He still beat up Hardonk pretty bad though and won. I just don’t see what Griggs has on Barry though. Barry already fought and beat someone similar to Griggs in Joey Beltran, so I don’t see why Barry would have that many problems against Griggs.

that beltran fight i thought he lost that
he couldn’t stop beltran just kicking a leg shouldn’t get you a win. joey was banged up and was still going after barry.
I just really don't want to see
World of Morecraft winning, same as I don’t want to see Nick “The Promise” Ring win.
In real life everything I utter is original and poignant.

I hope you're right pb... I hope you're right.
But guillard has got to keep his goddamn hands up and his head in the game for that to happen.

That
and he also needs to calm the fuck down! He’s too damn wild and cocky in the cage imo. He’s fast, powerful and athletic, but all it takes is one mistake to get ko’d or subbed.

Is Pat Barry full time at death clutch or does he train else where 2? I wish a team would grab him and mold him into the great fighter he could be… But he needs to develop that ruthless aggressive killer instinct all on his own… I like HD but he needs to play around less and wreck shop more…

If guillard walks into the fight all 'skippy' and thinks they will just hand him a lw title shot after
Miller has other things planned.. i say this fight ends with a guillotine
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
I’m really liking the turnaround of both Anthony and Brenneman, I think a fighter should fight every 3-4 months as long as they’re injury free.
