Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is heading "down under" on March 3, 2012, for its UFC on FX 2 event booked for the AllPhones Arena in Sydney, Australia, featuring a fantastic welterweight slugfest between Thiago Alves and Martin Kampmannin in the main event.
The promotion announced the long-rumored fight card on Wednesday.
Alves (19-8) got back into the win column with a submission victory over Octagon rookie Papy Abedi at UFC 138: "Leben vs. Munoz" back on Nov. 5 in England. So too, did Kampmann (18-5), thanks to a hard-fought split decision win over Rick Story at UFC 139: "Henderson vs. Shogun" last month in San Jose.
UFC on FX 2 will also feature the opening round of the promotion's inaugural four-man flyweight tournament, featuring Demetrious Johnson vs. Ian McCall and Joseph Benavidez vs. Yasuhiro Urushitani.
