With Forrest Griffin’s abrupt exit from “UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II,” the December 29th show was forced to reshuffle the deck and assign a new co-main event.
The lightweight scrap between Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller now receives the card’s second-to-top billing.
Middleweights Chris Leben and Karlos Vemola was subsequently promoted from the prelims to the pay-per-view portion of lineup.
The UFC’s Facebook page will offer a live stream of the night’s first two fights at approximately 7:20PM ET/4:20PM PT. FX will then broadcast the remaining four preliminary bouts starting at 8PM ET/5PM PT.
The PPV begins immediately after at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
A rematch between heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez (both pictured) headlines the gig.
