UFC on FX: Guillard vs. Miller
UFC on FX: Guillard vs. Miller (also known as UFC on FX 1) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on January 20, 2012 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.[1]
Background
The event will be the second to be broadcast as part of a seven year agreement between the UFC and Fox, and the inaugural event to air on FX.[2]
A featherweight bout between Charles Oliveira and Robert Peralta was briefly linked to this event,[3] but it was later confirmed that Oliveira would instead be facing Eric Wisely a week later at UFC on Fox: Evans vs. Davis.
Rafaello Oliveira was expected to fight Reza Madadi. However, after a hand injury, Oliveira pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Fabrício Camões.[4]
Mike Brown was expected to face Vagner Rocha, but was forced out of the bout with an injury.[5]
Ken Stone was expected to fight Mike Easton. However, an injury forced Stone to pull out.[6]
The preliminary card will air on Fuel TV.[7]
Guillard has stated that his fight with Jim Miller is a #1 contender bout. Although there is much debate to this statement. [8]
