Friday night hasn’t traditionally been associated with the UFC in America, but it was the one-night home for the promotion as they headed to Australia for UFC on FX 2: Alves vs. Kampmann.
In addition to the welterweight main event, the fight card also included the exciting start to the 125-pound flyweight division in the promotion in the form of a tournament. The first round of the tournament took place from Sydney with Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall getting things started and Joseph Benavidez and Yasuhiro Urushitani competing in the second bout just minutes later.
The official results are now in the book, but as always, there’s more to it than that. There were a couple controversial moments during the night and often times the official results don’t show those kind of things.
With that said, let’s take a closer look at the real winners and losers from Friday night’s fight card.
