Welterweight standouts Thiago Alves and Martin Kampmann were featured in the main event of UFC on FX 2, and it appeared as if Alves was going to walk away the victor before submitting to a guillotine choke with a minute left in the bout.
With Carlos Condit looking for challengers if he’s not able to face Georges St-Pierre later this year, Kampmann would like to be considered for that position and it would be well-deserved.
The UFC’s flyweight division also got kick-started on the main card with two exciting fights featuring Joseph Benavidez, Ian McCall, Demetrious Johnson and Yasuhiro Urushitani. It was the opening of a UFC tournament that will crown the first-ever UFC flyweight champion sometime later this year.
Other fighters featured on the card include Constantinos Philippou, James Te Huna, Daniel Pineda and Anthony Perosh.
