“There is nobody else more surprised that Alves tapped out, more than Martin Kapmann. I think Martin will tell you himself, he didn’t have that choke. You have to be a real boob to get caught at the end of the fight like that.”

Kampmann: "I'm going to finish Thiago"
"I’m going to finish this fight. I’m tired of these decisions, and I’m going to finish Thiago. He’s a tough guy and he’s beaten some of the best fighters in the welterweight division. He’s defeated Matt Hughes, Josh Koscheck, and I definitely believe he’s one of the better fighters in the weight class.
I think it’s a good matchup. We both like to strike and mix it up. I believe having well-rounded skills will be a factor in this fight, but Alves has pretty good takedown defense. He has been taken down a bit more in some of his recent fights and if he gives me the opportunity, I’ll take him down, too."

Autralia UFC Flyweight Debut
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
