Fightful Disqus: Which Fight Are You Most Excited For In January?

Beginning Jan. 19, UFC will begin the ESPN era. One week later, Bellator will hold the finals of their Heavyweight Grand Prix. Both cards are stacked with big fights and intriguing names. UFC on ESPN+ 1 features TJ Dillashaw going after the Flyweight Title in what could be the last Flyweight Title fight for the foreseeable future. Also on that card will be the UFC debut of former NFL star Greg Hardy, the return of Paige VanZant and the always exciting Donald Cerrone. Bellator 214 has Fedor against Bader, rising star Aaron Pico and the MMA debut of professional wrestler Jack Swagger (Jake Hager).
