UFC and MMA bettors will get their next fix on Friday night with UFC on FX. Headlining the event will be a Lightweight contender matchup between two of the division's best; hard-hitting Melvin Guillard will face tough-as-nails Jim Miller, with the winner putting themselves in position to potentially challenge for the Lightweight title later in the year.

Guillard has shown on numerous occasions that he can KO anyone in the Lightweight division if given the opportunity. He brings lethal striking and a much-improved take-down defense, but he will be coming off a surprise upset loss to Joe Lauzon. Oddsmakers at Bovada Sportsbook currently have Guillard listed as the +150 underdog, which is a fair price considering the trouble he has had against good wrestlers in the past.
Miller is a tough wrestler with strong ground skills, and oddsmakers think he will be able to take the fight to the ground where he can dominate a somewhat one-dimensional Guillard. Miller currently has a UFC odds price of -170 for Friday's event, which would normally be a bargain on one of the best Lightweights in the division.
In other action on the UFC on FX card Heavyweights Christian Morecraft and Pat Barry will slug it out to likely hold onto their UFC paycheck. Both fighters have lost two of their last three bouts and need a victory to remain relevant. Oddsmakers at Bovada Sportsbook are leaning towards Barry as the favorite and currently have a price of -170 on him to win. The Morecraft upset is currently worth +140 on those MMA betting lines.
