UFC on FX: Alves vs. Kampmann (also known as UFC on FX 2) was a mixed martial arts event held live by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday March 3, 2012 at the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia.[2] Due to the time zone difference, it aired live on Friday, March 2 in North America.

Background

Ticket sales for the event were slower than the two previous UFC events held in Australia, UFC 110 and UFC 127. These events led to record ticket-sales, with UFC 110 becoming the second fastest sell-out in UFC history [3] and UFC 127 equaled the fastest sell-out (30 minutes).[4] UFC on FX: Alves vs. Kampmann was the most successful "Fight Night" event in the company's history in terms of box office.[5]

The event was the third UFC promotion held in Australia and the second to be televised on FX. It was also the 200th UFC event. The event hosted the semifinals of the UFC's Flyweight tournament, which will eventually crown the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion.[6]

Jared Hamman was expected to face Kyle Noke at this event, but withdrew from the bout due to an injury. Noke instead faced promotional newcomer Andrew Craig.[7]

Robbie Peralta was expected to rematch Mackens Semerzier at this event, but pulled out of the bout due to an injury. Semerzier instead faced Daniel Pineda.[8]

At the post-fight press conference Dana White announced that the Flyweight Tournament fight between Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall had a judging error which resulted in a 10–8 round being read as a 10–9. This resulted in the match ending in a majority decision win for Johnson instead of a majority draw. The error was corrected but the previously announced fourth round tie breaker could not be fought delaying the finish of the first round of the Flyweight Tournament. Johnson and McCall are expected to rematch at a later date.[9]
