Autralia UFC Flyweight Debut

UFC on Fox 2 will take place on March 3rd at the AllPhones Arena in Sydney, Australia which will also debut the new flyweight division in the UFC. The headlining event will be between Thiago Alves (19-8 MMA, 11-5 UFC) and Martin Kampmann (18-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC).


UFC's nternational Development Managing Director Marshall Zelaznik told these about the new classes and the live event in Sydney: "The UFC is thrilled to return to Sydney for its third live event in three years.  We've had tremendous success with our two previous events, with last year's UFC 127 remaining the equal fastest sell-out in the organisation's history. I've got no doubt that our Aussie fans will be just as excited about our March event, especially as they'll witness UFC history with the introduction of the flyweight division.  The 125-pound contenders will absolutely put everything on the line is Sydney, knowing that the winners of those two bouts will then have a shot at the inaugural flyweight title."


The other confirmed bouts for now is as follows.

Flyweight bout:  Ian McCall vs.  Demetrious Johnson
Flyweight bout:  Joseph Benavidez vs.  Yasuhiro Urushitani
