The UFC will make its return to Music City this Friday as they present the UFC on FX: Melvin Guillard vs. Jim Miller fight card. The event marks the first time the promotion has been back to Nashville since April 2009, when they presented a card that was headlined by a welterweight bout between Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann.

The two fighters competing in the main event on Friday find themselves in somewhat of a pressure-filled situation, as each is coming off a loss in his last bout. Also of note, before suffering those losses Guillard and Miller had heard their names whispered as potential candidates for a shot at the UFC lightweight title.

Miller was riding a seven-fight winning streak before running into the freight train that is Benson Henderson on Aug. 14, 2011. Henderson dominated Miller on the way to unanimous decision victory, earning himself a shot at UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

For Guillard, he saw a five-fight winning streak end just 47 seconds into his UFC 136 bout against Joe Lauzon. The swift end being the result of Lauzon clamping on a rear-naked choke and forcing the tap from Guillard.

The UFC’s lightweight division is full or worthy competitors, a win in this bout keeps the victor’s name in the mind of UFC matchmaker Joe Silva, while the vanquished fighter will tumble further down the ranks, putting their hopes at a title shot all the more out of reach.
