UFC on FX 2: ALVES VS. KAMPMANN

March 3, 2012

Fresh from his first round annihilation of UFC debutant Papy Abedi at UFC 139, Thiago ‘Pitbull’ Alves (24-7) has returned to vintage form that has previously seen him cruise through the welterweight division with wins over UFC greats such as Matt Hughes, Josh Koschek and Chris Lytle before challenging for the welterweight title in July 2009.

Martin ‘The Hitman’ Kampmann (18-5) will look to back-up his unanimous decision win at UFC 139 over up-and-coming welterweight Rick ‘The Horror’ Story when he meets Alves in the Octagon on March 3. The Dane has incredible knock-out power and an underrated ground game that has seen him win nine of his 12 fights in the Octagon, including victories over Carlos Condit, Jorge Rivera and Paulo Thiago.

In the flyweight division, former No.1 WEC bantamweight contender Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson (14-2) will face the recently crowned Tachi Palace Fights flyweight champion, Ian ‘Uncle Creepy’ McCall (11-2), while Joseph Benavidez (15-2) will face Japanese fighter and Shooto champion Yasuhiro Urushitani (19-4-6) in the weight division’s two semi-finals.
