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. It appears that the undercard will be streamed live on Facebook, as opposed to being aired. 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. TBA
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)
Reza Madadi (11-2) vs. Fabricio Camoes (13-6-1)
Jorge Rivera (19-9) vs. Eric Schafer (12-6-2)
Ryan Jimmo (16-1) vs. Karlos Vemola (8-2)
Nick Denis (10-2) vs. Joseph Sandoval (6-1)

Neer vs Ludwig
Epic slugfest or technical decision?

Although a sneaking suspicion Neer might want to take this to the ground.

Brenneman vs. Roberts has a pretty high chance of being so boring the world would stop.
I want to see Shalorus on the main card because…well…I need reassurance he’s alive, because his name wasn’t even uttered after the Miller whipping.

Speaking of Roberts
Apparently the library system in my country carries UFC DVDs, including Ultimate Knockouts 8 in which Roberts vs. Howard is one of the fights included.
UFC Best of 2010, Ultimate Heavyweights, and KOs 8 are all in the system. MAINSTREAM!

That's a pretty hip public library.

That's a bad "fight card" photo of Brenneman.
It makes him look cross-eyed, as if they took the pic immediately after Rumble’s foot cracked him in the face.

Yeah.. Brennemann and Roberts are two fighters I'm extremely indifferent about
No interest at all in seeing that one.

That’s a pretty horrible card. Barry vs. Morecraft on the main card is a joke.

It's actually one of the worst main cards I can remember. Maybe THE worst.

Well
there are only three fights on it at this point, soe we should give it a second. I actually think the main and the co-main are pretty great fights. The winner of Guillard-Miller will put himself right back in the mix at LW, Neer and Ludwig are both game as hell, and frankly, Pat Barry is never involved in boring contests.
For a free TV card I think it is solid to strong, actually.

Barry vs. Beltran was kinda ugly
At least until the 3rd when he nearly kicked Beltran’s leg off.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
I just meant as far as divisional relevance. The headliner is still a long ways off from a title, Bang/Neer is MILES away, and while Barry is funny and fun to watch, he’s losing relevance rapidly. Basically, it’s a fun card, but not a high quality one.

I don't think the Main is nearly as far away from title contention as your saying
The former logjam at LW has really been cleared up with the falling of GSot, Miller, Guillard. The winner of this may only need one more win to get a title shot.

I think Nate Diaz and Pettis both get shots before the winner of this at the absolute least.
But yeah, I didn’t really think about that. How weird would it be if Miller won six in a row without a shot, then wins two in a row and gets one.

I think that's exactly what's gonna happen
Pettis himself is only on a one fight win streak, Lauzon streak is longer, but the only high quality win is Guillard. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a title eliminator between the Pettis/Lauzon winner and Guillard/Miller winner.

Unless Guillard and Lauzon win, in which case Lauzon just stays warm.
But I’d love to see Pettis vs. Guillard. Shit, would that be a dope scrap.

Miller, Barry, Guillard, Brenneman, Rivera, Shalorus all on what is the new version of the Fight Night? I think that’s pretty decent overall.

I think he means that in the US, only Fox or Fox affiliates can air the UFC. In Canada, it can be aired outside the scope of Fox.

Not even close to as good as that card.
The match ups might not have been as good, but that card had a top 10 MW, a top 10 FW, and two top 10 WWs. This has two top 10 LWs and shit all else.

Remember though, Lauzon and Stevenson dropped him with punches, and Miller himself dropped Duane Ludwig with punches.

I just realized
If Guillard beats Miller we would have Neer > Guillard > Miller > Ludwig…
But Neer vs. Ludwig is on this card too so we could have Ludwig > Neer> Guilard > Miller > Ludwig and shatter MMAth once and for all!

Ronnys Torres, Waylon Lowe, Gleinson Tibau. There is no “new” Guillard in my eyes. Lauzon showed that he’s the same old Guillard as before.

Wow.
If Im going to call myself a devoted Guillard fan I should brush up on my facts. Come to think of it, I barely remember the Tibau fight, and sorta remember the Torres fight for the ice drop.
But I must disagree with you on the “new” Guillard thing. I think that he has reinvented himself, and he’s working on his weaknesses. The Lauzon fight was just an off night, not knocking Joe’s performance, but I really think it was a mental lapse and it will just make Guillard learn to fight safer. Its not even like it would make his fights boring, he just needs to compose himself.

I may or may not have scored that Torres fight for Ronnys.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a talented dude, one of the most naturally talented lightweights in the world. But I don’t really see his stint with Jackson’s changing much of his game in the cage. It’s all about mental clarity for Melvin, and while I agree that it was an off night mentally against Lauzon and that’s probably what caught him, I really don’t think he can overcome his own arrogance long enough to earn a title shot. And I actually like the guy. Just callin’ it how I see it.
"I don't know where this term "training camp" in MMA came from. There's no campground. There's no tents." - Nick Diaz
My twitter: @TB_Money
I can definitely see where you're coming from
But I really think that with Greg’s help, Melvin can get his act together. I think Greg is one of the best in the business at giving his fighters the advice they need, in and out of the cage. Guillard still is young and can mature, and I think that fight with Lauzon really affected him for the better. The next time he loses, it will be to an opponent that was simply more skilled than him. That man’s name is not Jim Miller.

But the Lauzon-thing really looked like it was more an arrogance-problem than anything else…which I realize is also a “old Guillard” issue. But in terms of ability he really did seem improved lately.

Would you say that Melvin is gonna pop off 2012 in a big way?
Come on, Rebel, we gonna bust him up tonight!
Bust his chops! Oh, that hurts my parts!
Now far be it for me to cast doubt upon psychoblack
And as much fun as Guillard is when he’s really got his game on…
I’d just like to say that Miller is just not a guy that gets “ran through”. Which honestly is exactly what we all want. This could be, should be, a great fight, and I’d be happy for either guy to win.

But there was never a time in the fight where I thought that miller is done and has no chance. I always felt miller could still pull this off and grab a sub or something you know? If you beat miller, you better be ready to go to war because it will be a damn war that’s for sure.

i will never get tired of seeing Melvin “the guy who tested positive for COCAINE after a UFC fight” Guillard getting choked out.
it always makes my heart glow. remember the Guillard hype train up until his last fight?
b/c he blitzkrieg’d Dunham….then Lauzon knocked him down with a hook and tapped his ass in one round.
