UFC on FX 1: Jared Papazian vs Mike Easton possible for Jan. 20 with Ken Stone hurt

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has a re-worked bantamweight bout for its upcoming network televised fight card from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Fri., Jan. 20, 2012.

UFC on FX 1 will see 135-pound veterans Jared Papazian and Mike Easton mix it up for a spot in the division's increasingly competitive title chase when the promotion heads to "Music City" later this month.

Papazian replaces Ken Stone, who was forced to withdraw from the contest due to injury, according to a report from MMA Weekly.

"The Jackhammer" (14-6) will be making his Octagon debut but is hardly a stranger to cage fighting. In fact, Papazian is coming off a three-fight winning streak under the King of the Cage (KOTC) banner and is 8-2 over his last 10.

Opposing him is Easton, the 11-1 "Hulk" who smashed his way through D.C.'s regional circuit before making a successful UFC debut against Byron Bloodworth, knocking him out at UFC on Versus 6 last October.

Here's what the UFC on FX fight card looks like with just over two weeks to go:
