A bantamweight contest between Mike Easton (11-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Ken Stone (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) completes the four-fight main card of this month's UFC on FX 1 event.
UFC officials recently announced the addition to the card, as well as its positioning on the lineup.
Featuring a key lightweight matchup between Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller, UFC on FX 1 takes place Jan. 20 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
Easton fights for the second time under the UFC banner. The Alliance MMA and Team LLoyd Irvin product debuted for the promotion at this past October's UFC on Versus 6 event, where he earned a TKO over replacement opponent Byron Bloodworth, who missed weight, necessitating a catchweight contest.
The once-beaten Easton carries a six-fight win streak into the contest.
Meanwhile, Stone returns to work after scoring a technical-submission win over Donny Walker at this past September's UFC Fight Night 25 event. The much-needed result snapped a two-fight losing streak for Stone, who had dealt with back-to-back brutal knockout losses to Scott Jorgensen and Eddie Wineland.
The win was Stone's first under the Zuffa banner.
