Bet on UFC on FX 1: "Miller vs. Guillard" with this complete betting guide with odds, picks and best bets for all the action at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Jan. 20, 2012.
Get a complete breakdown of the first portion of UFC on FX under card fights that will air on FUEL TV -- Nick Denis vs Joseph Sandoval, Daniel Pineda vs Pat Schilling and
Fabricio Camoes vs Tom Hayden -- from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Jan. 20, 2012.
#1 Jose Aldo actually made the division more interesting with his poor finish to an otherwise dominant performance against #7 Mark Hominick at UFC 129.
We're still waiting for #1 Jose Aldo's UFC debut at UFC 129 where he'll defend his title against #8 Mark Hominick. The winner's next challenge will likely come from the winner of Kenny Florian vs. #7 Diego Nunes which is being contested at UFC 131.
Another division with no major movement in June. The biggest deal was probably #7 Marlon Sandro making short work of #10 Masanori Kanehara at Sengoku Raiden Championships.
Now #1 Jose Aldo defended his title for the first time against #3 Urijah Faber at WEC 48. Aldo looked positively sensational in the bout, easily routing the California Kid while leaving the Team Alpha Male member unable to walk for days with damage left from brutal leg kicks. No word has yet been made official by the WEC.
American Top Team's #1 Mike Thomas Brown continues to be the top-ranked fighter in MMA's featherweight division. He is set to defend his title against #3 Jose Aldo at WEC 44 on November 18th in Las Vegas. As many have suggested, no one has truly pushed the Novia Uniao black belt, so it's not clear what can really be expected of the talented prospect.
American Top Team's "simple man" is still sitting pretty as #1 Mike Thomas Brown remains the top-ranked fighter in MMA's featherweight division. Whether he'll be able to hold onto the belt when he faces #5 Jose Aldo at WEC 44 is another matter.
