Guillard vs. Varner officially joins UFC 155's FX prelims; bout order finalized

A recently canceled bout between lightweights Jamie Varner (20-7-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and Melvin Guillard (30-11-2 MMA, 11-7 UFC) is now official for next week's UFC 155 event, and it's part of the four-fight FX-televised preliminary card.

UFC officials recently set the bout order, which also includes three prelims on Facebook.

UFC 155 takes place Dec. 29 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card, including a heavyweight title between champion Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, airs on pay-per-view.

Guillard and Varner initially were slated to fight this past weekend at The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale. However, just prior to the Dec. 15 main-card bout, officials nixed it because Varner had fell ill and was vomiting backstage. The cancellation came mere hours after Guillard said Varner had accused him of greasing up prior to the fight.

Guillard initially said he had no intention of keeping the fight with Varner, but when UFC President Dana White said he planned to rebook it for the following week, he relented.

The fight-night dramatics created plenty of bad blood between the veteran lightweights, but the beef now will be settled next week on FX.

Varner looks for a return to the win column following an August "Fight of the Night" loss to Joe Lauzon at UFC on FOX 4. That defeat came after his major upset win over Edson Barboza – a first-round TKO win at UFC 146 on short notice – in May. Guillard, too, looks to get back on the right side of things after an August "Fight of the Night" knockout loss to former teammate Donald Cerrone at UFC 150. That defeat gave Guillard three first-round losses in his past four fights.
