With Bradley now out of the UFC, it would be hard to envision Nover remaining a part of the plans for the lightweight division with a third-consecutive loss. The same can be said for Emerson, another former TUF contestant who has seemingly survived by being a part of that program.

"The Saint" is 2-2 with a No Contest in five fights since coming off of Season 5 of The Ultimate Fighter. His wins have come over Keita Nakamura and Manny Gamburyan, a fellow TUF 5 contestant who now makes his home at 145 with the WEC. Since his 12 second knockout of "Manvel the Anvil," Emerson was wrestled and submitted by Kurt Pellegrino and systematically kicked apart by Rafael dos Anjos.

Both guys are in dire need of a win to keep receiving pay checks from the UFC. Emerson likes to keep it standing, but Nover has solid Muay Thai and boxing, as well as being far more accomplished on the ground. He (Nover) also has the added push to prove to everyone that September's seizure was a one-time thing and the he's back and ready to prove Dana White's early comparisons weren't entirely wrong.

Melvin Guillard (22-8-2,1 NC) vs. Ronnys Torres (14-1-0)

"The Young Assassin" will tell you that his record is closer 41-9-3 the UFC website purports it to be, but even where it stands now, two things are certain about Melvin Guillard: (1) he's got solid and powerful striking and (2) he knows how to get submitted.

After his loss to Nate Diaz at UFN 19 before the TUF 10 debut, Guillard joined forces with Greg Jackson. Hopefully, the Yoda of MMA has taught the self-assured Guillard a thing or two about not falling head-first into guillotine chokes. If he's added a lecture on leaving the cockiness outside the cage and just focusing on the task at hand, we might see a new-and-improved Melvin Guillard inside the cage tomorrow night on Spike.

If Jackson's lessons haven't sunk in, we could see the same Melvin Guillard we saw in September; the one that was on the receiving end of another submission defeat, as Ronnys Torres is Nova Unaio product with strong jiu jitsu and a lot to prove.

It's been over a year since Torres was first signed by the UFC, and slated to face Guillard ironically enough. Injuries and surgeries have dominated the time between then and now, and while Torres's admission that he likes to bulk up between fights and cut somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 pounds has alarmed some, he's never come in over the 155-pound requirement, so the skepticism might be a little premature.

While fight fans are certainly more aware of the flamboyant Guillard, Torres is riding an eight-fight winning streak, with five of those wins coming by way of submission. How does Melvin Guillard usually lose again?

Mac Danzig (18-7-1) vs. Justin Buchholz (8-4-0)

While a couple other fights on the card might be "Loser Leaves Town" bouts, this one almost certainly is, as both Danzig and Buchholz enter their Spike TV Prelims Live bout on the kind of losing streaks that spell doom for a UFC fighter.

In their last five fights combined, they're 0-5. Yikes!

Danzig has drawn every last ounce of life he can from winning Season 6 of The Ultimate Fighter. Not to take anything...
