Shortly after welterweights Thiago Alves and Martin Kampmann square off inside the Octagon, many of the UFC on FX 2 competitors will join UFC president Dana White at the event’s post-fight press conference.
Friday’s event at the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia will also feature the semifinals of a flyweight tournament that will determine the UFC’s first 125-pound champion.
Former bantamweight title contenders Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson will welcome respective UFC newcomers Yasuhiro Urushitani and Ian McCall in two bouts that will prove extremely important to the future landscape of the UFC.
The winner of Friday night’s tournament fights will meet later in 2012 to compete for the UFC flyweight title.
Additionally, middleweights Court McGee and Costa Philippou will battle it out in a great opportunity for both fighters to take a big step up the 185-pound division’s ladder. Both competitors are riding winning streaks and looking to be recognized at middleweight contenders.
A live streaming feed of the post-fight press conference will be available on the below video player not long after UFC on FX 2 comes to an end.
