This weekend’s UFC on FX 2 will feature a clash between welterweight contenders and the long-awaited introduction of the 125-pound division to MMA‘s premier organization.
In the card’s main event, Thiago Alves and Martin Kampmann will both be attempting to pick up their second straight win in a fight that could catapult one of them toward contending for the 170-pound title.
Both fighters have had their highs and lows over their last few fights, but a win at UFC on FX 2 could quickly erase the impact of their recent defeats.
Before Alves and Kampmann enter the Octagon, four flyweights—Joseph Benavidez, Yasuhiro Urushitani, Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall—will compete for the chance to fight in the UFC’s first ever 125-pound title fight.
Before Friday’s event, the fighters will hit the scales at the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia on Thursday at 10 p.m. ET. Video of the weigh-ins will be streamed live on the above video player.
