The fans have spoken.

The semifinals of the first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight tournament will conclude at UFC on FX 3 on June 8, 2012, when Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall run back their initial (and controversial) 125-pound encounter.

And they'll do it at the BankAtlantic Center in Fort Lauderdale.

The south Florida venue garnered the most fan votes in the Harley-Davidson Hometown Throwdown contest, but their work doesn't end there. UFC fans will also get to determine which of the following three bouts will kick off the televised main card, airing live via the FX channel on Friday night (June 8) at 9 p.m. ET.

155 lbs.: Scott Jorgensen vs. Eddie Wineland
170 lbs.: Carlos Eduardo Rocha vs. Mike Pierce
170 lbs.: Lance Benoist vs. Seth Baczynski

"Mighty Mouse" and "Uncle Creepy" first mixed it up at the UFC on FX 2: "Alves vs. Kampmann" event this past March 2, 2012, in Sydney, Australia. After three close rounds, the two should have went to a fourth, sudden victory round to determine a winner.

However, a scoring error led to the result incorrectly being read a victory in favor of Johnson immediately after the frenetic 15 minutes finished. It was later determined that the ringside judges actually scored it a draw.

The winner of the bout between Johnson and McCall will take on Joseph Benavidez later this year to determine the first-ever UFC 125-pound champion. On that same night in the "Land Down Under," Benavidez brutalized Yasuhiro Urushitani to punch his ticket to the finals on the other side of the four-man bracket.
