At the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., UFC on FX became an instant success.
From the preliminary portion of the event to the main card, all bouts were exciting and fan friendly, though the real story of the night were the lightweights, as former contenders Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller took center stage.
The New Jersey native managed to weather an early barrage from “The Young Assassin,” eventually cinching up the rear-naked choke inside of the first round.
The win helped ascend Miller back into the upper echelon of the division, though Guillard’s stock plummeted with his second defeat in as many bouts.
The lightweight division is notoriously unforgiving and always changing, so in the end, where does the weight class sit as a whole?
