UFC On FX 1 Fight Card: Jared Papazian Debuts Against Mike Easton
by Shaun Al-Shatti
King of the Cage bantamweight champion Jared Papazian has signed with
the UFC and will debut against Mike Easton on the main card of UFC on
FX 1, according to reports from MMA Weekly.
Papazian replaces Ken Stone just days after the WEC veteran was
scratched from the bout with an injury. UFC officials have yet to
confirm the switch.
A 23-year-old Armenian prospect, Papazian (14-6) steps into the
Octagon a winner of eight of his last nine contests, including three
straight since March. "The Jackhammer" carries six finishes to his
credit and last fought in September, where he earned a unanimous
decision win over Marvin Garcia to defend his KOTC title.
Across the cage, former UWC bantamweight champion Easton (11-1) capped
a six-fight win streak with a brutal second-round TKO victory over
Byron Bloodworth in his October UFC debut. At just 27 years old, "The
Hulk" has amassed an impressive résumé that includes wins over TUF
14's John Dodson and Josh Ferguson, as well as former WEC champion
Chase Beebe.
UFC on FX takes place on January 20, 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Explosive lightweight contender Melvin Guillard duels former
number-one contender Jim Miller in the night's main event.
